THIS MORNING, THE Hollywood Reporter released this week’s cover story on Drake – detailing his “ambitious” push into film and TV.
Interviewing him in his Toronto apartment, the piece touches on everything from his Degrassi days, his current partnership with his manager Future and their recent foray into movie production.
About halfway through the interview, Future reveals that Drake could have worked with disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein in the past, but turned it down:
Weinstein chased Drake to star in and produce a film called The Heist, but Drake rebuffed the overtures long before the mogul faced dozens of sexual harassment and assault claims. “I vetted him with five people and got bad feedback about working with him,” Future says simply.
The vetting process that Drake’s team used has been winning praise on Twitter
