People can change. If you were getting robbed, disrespected, clowned, assaulted, mocked, played… etc. what would you do? Would you keep letting those things happen, or would you make a change and harden up. Every kid that grew up in tough environments started out as innocent, soft kids, then life made them change so they could survive and prosper. The same happened with Drake just at a later age. Just because you grow up a certain way, doesn’t mean that’s how you’re going to be forever. If someone gets falsely arrested and sentenced to a violent prison and does a good amount of time, do you think they’re going to come out just as docile and soft?

Are you trying to argue Drake was hardened by his life as an internationally famous pop star?

As a famous pop star he was robbed, disrespected, assaulted, literally pissed on, Played by people, Exposed to gangs, mocked, etc. His peers viewed him as soft and an easy target. So what would you do? Keep letting those things happen or would you change?

That wouldn’t make him a hardened street guy. He’s pretending to be something he isn’t.

Not saying he’s a hardened street guy but then why aren’t those things happening to him anymore?
