Drake: 'DiCaprio influenced my career'

Drake has credited Leonardo DiCaprio for influencing his career.

The Thank Me Later rapper revealed that the Inception star has been an inspirational role model for displaying a loyal dedication to his film work.

Speaking to All Hip Hop, he said: "I like the way Leonardo DiCaprio carries himself and how much he lives his work. That is something that I hope to accomplish. I don't think I live my work.

"Second would be Jimi Hendrix, I love how he just performed under pressure... Third would be Jay-Z. Everything about Jay, how long he has been in the game as a rapper, you know how intelligent he is, you know who he is married to.

"Fourth, I would have to say, in my life, I would have to attribute Kanye West with a lot of inspiration... And last I would have to say Andre from Outkast. The whole Outkast [as] being a part of my childhood."

Last month, Drake revealed that his top five favourite rappers of all time included Kanye West and Jay-Z.
