Drake breaks down the reason he uses his stage name ‘Drake’ instead of his real name Aubrey.

During a recent interview with Bobbi Althoff, the rapper whose middle name is Drake, explains why he decided to rap under a short name.

“Aubrey’s not a guy’s name,” Bobbi expressed. “Yes it is,” Drake responded. “Have you ever met a male Aubrey?” she asked. “Yeah, you’re looking at him,” Drake rebutted. “You don’t even go by that ‘cuz it’s such a bad name,” Bobbi joked. “No, that’s not true… [I go by Drake] ‘cuz it’s shorter,” he noted. “You know, people with two syllables are way less successful than people with one.”
