Drake has admitted that he worries about the fan and critical reaction to his new album Take Care.
The 'Make Me Proud' rapper, who released Take Care earlier this month, explained that he feels a constant "pressure" to top his previous hits.
Drake told USA Today: "I always feel that with each project, a new group of people are dying to see what my next move is.
"With that comes pressure, but it also creates excitement and makes me want to work harder. I still feel that I am new and I have something to prove with this album."
Drake got his start in the entertainment industry as an actor on the Canadian teen drama Degrassi: The Next Generation.
After recently returning to the small screen for an episode of Saturday Night Live, Drake said he would like to take on more acting roles.
"I caught that acting bug again [on SNL]. I'm dying to be on sets and be part of some movies," he revealed.
"Hopefully I'll find some time for that amidst all the touring. It was nice to show people in those skits that I can get out of rapper mode and just be funny."
Drake previously disclosed that he wanted Justin Timberlake to guest on Take Care, but the In Time actor couldn't fit it into his schedule.
