In a candid new interview with the Jewish Chronicle rap superstar Drake boasts, “I’m one of the few artists who gets to be himself every day.” The jury is still out on whether this remark was intended as a dig against singer Chris Brown, with whom he is currently feuding. The Huffington Post reports:

What gives Drake the advantage over other rappers and pop stars? That he’s Drake, of course.

In an interview with the Jewish Chronicle, Drake boasted that he doesn’t have to put on a false demeanor when making his way through everyday life.

“I’m one of the few artists who gets to be himself every day,” Drake was quoted as saying by the publication. “It doesn’t take me six hours to get ready and I don’t have to wake up in the morning and remember to act like this or talk like this. I just have to be me. That’s one of the favorite parts of my life — I’ve done this purely by being myself.”
