"That was really hard for him," Lauren Collins said of her <em>Degrassi: The Next Generation</em> costar Drake who used a wheelchair to play his character Jimmy Brooks

Yo,
“
There was a letter from a law firm in Toronto, and it was from Aubrey. It was an odd letter that said, 'Aubrey Graham will not return to
Degrassi season six as Jimmy Brooks unless his injury is healed, and he's out of the wheelchair.' I said, 'Get him down here,'" he recounted. "He came in and was like, 'What letter? I don't know about that.' And I said, 'All right, I understand. But how do you feel about the wheelchair?' "
"He's like, 'All my friends in the rap game say I'm soft because I'm in a wheelchair.' And I said, 'Well, tell your friends in the rap game that you got shot. How much harder can you get? You got shot, and you're in a wheelchair.' He was like, 'Yeah, yeah.'”
This part of the story is who Drake has always been. He has been a manipulator and bytch made dude all his life.
