LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Aubrey Drake Graham, famously known by his stage name Drake, is a platinum-selling artist who has been conquering the music industry since his debut.
With four Grammys on his shelf, the 42-year-old Canadian rapper is undoubtedly on his path to be one of the greatest in the rap game.
Known for blending R&B vocals with personal raps, Drake is one of the transcendent artists of the millennial generation.
For over a decade in the music industry, he has recorded tracks for every occasion and has sold over 170 million records worldwide. In addition to his soothing voice and hard-hitting lyrics, one intriguing aspect that consistently fascinates fans is Drake’s height.
The curiosity surrounding Drake’s height has sparked a slew of unfounded theories over the years, but all these discussions came to an end as soon as he confirmed his height in a chart-topping song.
How tall is Drake?
How tall is Drake?’ This is the first question that comes to fans' minds when they see the rapper performing on stage. At first glance, the rapper might appear to be of average height, but the reality is quite different.
Over the years, several reports have claimed Drake’s height to be somewhere between 5ft 10in (177cm) and 6ft (183cm). However, he recently disclosed his true height in a popular song titled 'Sneakin,'' featuring 21 Savage.
“Hunnid-fifty-inch screen in my bedroom, 6’1″, man, a n-word need some leg room,” Drake said in the song. However, there are no concrete reports to confirm his claims.
Drake’s height compared to other prominent rappers
Drake’s height easily makes him taller than most of the well-known rappers but he is still shy from featuring the list of tallest rappers.
The ‘Hotline Bing’ hit-maker appears taller when compared to rappers including Eminem (5ft8), Kanye West (5ft8), Lil Wayne (5ft5), and Lil Uzi (5ft4).
However, Drake’s height falls short in front of artists such as Machine Gun Kelly (6ft3), Future 21 (6ft2), Jay Z (6ft2), Snoop Dog (6ft4), Kia Shine (6ft5), and 2 Chainz (6ft5).
Is Drake taller than his baby mama?
Drake shares his five-year-old son Adonis Graham with his former flame, Sophie Brussaux. Drake and Brussaux, a former adult film star turned painter, were spotted together in January 2017.
The pair never confirmed their relationship but reports claim that they parted away somewhere before the pandemic. They are no longer together but Brussaux is often seen sharing Drake and Adonis’ pictures on social media.
The former pair’s pictures have often sparked questions over whether Brussaux is taller than Drake. But, in reality, Drake is a few inches taller than his baby mama, who is 5ft9, according to reports.
Does Drake wear shoe lifts?
Drake’s height is undoubtedly one of the most searched questions on Google as his public appearances often leave his admirers in doubt.
Over the years, he has been accused of wearing shoe lifts or elevated boots to appear tall on stage.
Drake has never admitted to using shoe lifts but he has been photographed with construction-style boots, which also help him gain the 2 extra inches to his 6ft1 frame, according to the Richest.
