drake had that money in the bank contract, cashed it in, and lost.

Faced with such a situation what do you but try. But in Drake's case, I think he's blinded by the popularity. It's not about the talent but the work you put in.

@@dwillwilliams1240exactly . Snaking is keyword . You don’t snake friends in the industry when you not even truly recognize as black American culture .
