We all know that Drake is one of the biggest rappers in the world. He told the Grammys to stop nominating him, that means a lot! So, it’s hard to believe that someone worth more than $200 million ever made $100 a show!
Drake posted an invoice for one of his first shows on Instagram Stories. The invoice proves that the rapper only earned $100 Canadian dollars for his set at the now-closed Kool Haus in Toronto, Ontario.
The city Drake nicknamed The6ix is where he was born, raised, and started. The “Best I Ever Had” rapper often talks about his love for his city and the love it shows him.
Drake Opened for Ice Cube

The performance in question was opening for rapper Ice Cube in 2006, over ten years ago. See what determination you get? During that time, Drake will perform a song from his only work available, his mixtape Room For Improvisation.
Drake takes some time to encourage those who have big dreams like him. “This is for anyone who got 100 shows right now… keep going.” Drake’s Instagram has 122 million followers so his words of encouragement reach many people.

An Instagram account called The Flyer Vault that describes itself as “Documenting Toronto’s club & concert history” picked up the post and shared a few more details about the show in question.
“On August 19, 2006, Ice Cube headlined Kool Haus with support act Drake in his first concert. The Boy was paid a sum of $100 and performed a cut from his debut mixtape ‘Room For Improvement’ which was released earlier that year. Classic history!”
Fans take into account their personal experiences on this show. The fact he got paid for his first show was amazing. Degrassi influence,” one follower wrote. “I remember working the guest list on this show, Drake might only get paid $100 but he brought in half the city for free,” Drake said of him!
Another follower also once told a story about Ice Cube who is also known to have a heart of gold.
“Work this plan. Spending the day with Cube and his team. He was so scary for like, a second. Then the nicest guy and a great tour manager. At the end of the night, I asked him to sign my #DeathCertificate vinyl, but told his manager I wish I had brought my Friday DVD too. The manager released my information and a few weeks later, I opened the mail and found an autographed DVD from Cube. The best!! 🧊”
