Same reason Chris Brown and Lil Bow Wow and Pee Wee Herman and Hibachi 69 and whoever else bang Blood and talk tough when they got friction. Money is everything to these street vultures, as long as the Prince is Drake's backbone he can front all he wants...and he will continue to win in the industry too because the industry people are probably scared to slow down on the Drake spins and looks and shyt. Prince gave him the cheat code, it's not his corny ass or even the music really, it's the business and people being scared to move on from him. That little nerd got Apple, J Prince and who knows what other liaisons he's built at this point backing him, he feels invincible

None of that matters lmao, he still grew up in the hood. Drake has none of that, street nikkas can't be honor roll students now?

Hes a Boss. The Boss is usually smart not tuff. He has people that will die for him. Prolly at least a hundred dudes so that will make you feel yourself. He also has talent, looks, and money to back it up. So yeah he doing what it do

He's able to live out his fantasies in a pseudo legitimate fashion because of his money and connections. The rap game/life has an obsession with gangsterism and vicariously living through mob archetypes. Drake is the biggest guy in the rap game so it's not surprising he's taken on this mold. Everyone is fascinated by the mobster life in some ways, it's just when you're in rap it's a very watered down variation of it due to the players, risk, money and beef. So they just ramp it up for their own entertainment until it's not entertainment anymore and someone does get hurt or killed.... Which eventually happens almost 100% of the time. Instead of backing off or learning from it, the murders and bloodshed add to the delusion and fantasy of having an actual mobb life because the rap shyt turned into some Street shyt momentarily. All rappers do this, it's just Drake's turn at being fantastically and delusionally obsessed with chaos, greed and turmoil to harden an image he doesn't even need to...
