Even though Drake is arguably the biggest rapper in the game right now, people will never forget his roots on Canadian teen soap “Degrassi: The Next Generation.” He played Jimmy Brooks, a basketball star eventually confined to a wheelchair after a school shooting. See what a former Degrassi star has to say about Drake’s relationship with former cast members.

Chloe Rose, who played Katie Matlin on Degrassi from 2011 to 2014, revealed to MTV Drake’s impact he has had on his former co-workers.

We’re all really, really close. Everyone, pretty much on set, everyone on the cast knows so many Drake lyrics, it’s stupid. It is ridiculous. We all used to, like when I first started, I didn’t really, I liked Drake, but I didn’t really understand the caliber of the love. It’s a fever, for sure, and we would go to parties together, and everyone would just stand in a circle and just rap his lyrics to each other. It was a real die-hard Drake moment, cause everyone was like, he’s one of us. Jimmy, wheelchair Jimmy.

She also said that Drake comes back to visit the set, and that he still comes out to support his old buddies on their individual projects.

Some of his old cast mates made this web series called ’We Are Disorderly’ and he came to the screening and it was so exciting, and at the Royal, such a small little theater, and it was very cool to see him still supporting his friends from way back in the day. I think he still loves ‘Degrassi’ as much — maybe not as much as we love him.

Drake shows that even after becoming a superstar, he still is a very classy Canadian. Chloe also ends the interview saying he still sees him as Aubery, not Drake. I found that pretty funny.
