1. This has to be something of a blast from the past, when Drake got kissed by the name, the legend -- Madonna, live on stage, with no warning. Um.

4. Let it be remembered that 'Back To Back' was the first diss track nominated for a Grammy. And the butt of the diss -- Meek Mill, he never stood a chance after the OVO Fest in 2015.

5. The time he absolutely had his fans losing their mind when he first collaborated with Future in 2015. Since then, we've had a lot more bangers from the duo. Personally, the only collab that competes with this is Kanye and Jay-Z.

6. Some might say he shone the brightest when he was her man. Rihanna and Drake collabed on “What’s My Name”, “Take Care”, “Work” and “Too Good”-- and it was all gold.

8. After sitting in the chair for Madonna, he sat on the chair one more time -- for Nicki Minaj while she almost, almost served him with a lap dance. Big times for D!

9. Hotline Bling is by far the most iconic song, watched, heard, and loved by people all over the globe. It wasn't just a song, it was an entire era. Oh and, who could forget about all the memes?
