Drake is hip-hop’s nicest guy. Last week, we saw the superstar rapper surprise friend and producer Noah “40” Shebib with a birthday cake while they were recording in Atlanta. Nice guys do finish first. Here are Drake’s 10 cutest, thoughtful and most awww-inducing moments of all time.
Happy Birthday Karla!
Way back in 2008, a girl named Karla Moy started a fan site for a rapper few people outside of Toronto knew of. As a way of giving thanks to one of his oldest and most loyal fans, Drake (accompanied by 40 on a rudimentary keyboard) made a video birthday greeting for Karla. The makeshift video has since gone viral and become a beloved fan favorite.

Drake Meets Nardwuar
Drake was a true fan boy when he met the legendary Nardwuar in Vancouver. Rapper trading cards, a red jacket with the zippers, an autographed Pam Grier album cover (“Is this for me?!”) and memorabilia from his musical family. Best interview he ever had.

“Look What You’ve Done”
One of the most poignant songs on Drake’s Take Care was the personal “Look What You’ve Done” in which Drake dedicates his verses to his mother and Uncle Steve. It takes a village to make a superstar and Drake gives his family love for all of their support during his formative years.

Cartier Love
Drake keeps his October’s Very Own (OVO) boys close and always takes care of them, including keeping them laced properly. Last year, several members of Drake’s posse were seen rocking Cartier Love bracelets (retailing around $4000 a piece).

Drake and his Grandmother
Drake has always talked about his love for his grandmother, Evelyn Sher, in interviews as well as on tracks like “The Resistance” and “The Winner.” She sadly passed away last year. On “Look What You’ve Done,” Drake featured sweet words from his Bubby via voicemail: “All I can say Aubrey is, I remember the good times we had together and the times I used to look after you and I still have wonderful feelings about that…So God bless you, and I hope I’ll see you.”

Crew Love
“Cause one of us goes in, and we all go through it/And Drizzy got the money, so Drizzy gonna pay it/Those my brothers, I ain't even gotta say it/That's just something they know,” Drake raps on “Headlines.” He speaks the truth. In 2008, when his friend and fellow rapper P. Reign was facing weapons possession charges, Drake reportedly helped put up the money for his case. P. Reign was found not guilty in 2011.

Back In the Day

Better Than Good Enough
Drake’s Better Than Good Enough gave fans a bird’s eye view into his very private life leading into the release of Thank Me Later. Drizzy introduced us to his family and friends in the documentary and openly talked about his fears and ambitions. “I used to cry a lot in school…and fall for girls so hard,” he remembers about his childhood.

Baby Drake
That hair! Those cheeks! Drake was always a cutie. Thanks to the power of the Internets and saved, old baby flicks, we get a glimpse of the very adorable young Drizzy.
