During his recent show at the Apollo Theater, Drake took a moment to reflect on his first trip to New York, which he made in an effort to get signed by a record label.
He shared that he met with many executives during that time, but all discussions ended with him being rejected.
“I came here with my uncle, trying to get signed, you know? I think I sat in front of everyone for like, a week straight. And I was rejected by everyone for a week in a row,” the rapper told the audience, recounting the failure of his career, per Insider.
Sharing more about the experience, Drake revealed that his choice of clothing at the time was a huge turn-on for the cast and largely contributed to why no one chose to sign him.
“In all fairness, my choice of clothing was terrible at the time,” she added. “They say I look ridiculous. I do not agree. I might wear some Club Monaco khakis with a button-up or something. It’s very bad.”

After some time, he was contacted, and he began to move towards becoming one of the most famous artists in the world.
He said, “I came home, and I had to go back to my mother’s basement because it wasn’t what I thought it would be. So I went back, and I wrote a few more songs to see if I could get signed, and finally, someone called.”

“Everybody’s really OK,” a voice called over the loudspeaker, per Insider. “They are being checked. No one was hurt. But I’ve got even better news for you: We’re at the Apollo, so the show must go on.”
