The superstar is a vegan so much so that he even uses toothpaste containing activated charcoal to brush his teeth.
On 10th March 2018, an Instagram post of the Canadian superstar hinted that he has gone vegan. He posted an image where he’s seen in an angry expression. He was looking towards another guy in the image, who too seemed infuriated. It was the caption of this image that indicated his vegan status.

After this post, the rumors of him being a vegan spread like jungle fire. On the contrary, a majority of Media regarded it as a ‘corny post’ by the rapper. The superstar finally put an end to the speculations and confirmed the news after some days on Twitch.
As we know that the Canadian rapper is an avid gamer. He joined the gaming platform, Twitch with the popular blue-haired gamer Ninja to play Fortnite on 15th April 2018. When they were waiting in the game’s lobby for other participants, the guys got involved in a casual discussion. While discussing pizza, Drake left a remark which clearly indicated his vegan status.
The superstar said, “I feel like chicken and pineapple on pizza could work, but I don’t eat meat anymore”. This statement finally confirmed that Drake is a vegan.
Who Inspired Drake to Adopt a Vegetarian Diet?
Drake announced that he has gone vegan in the mid of March in 2018. Few weeks before the announcement, Drake’s fellow musician and good friend Beyonce announced that she’d follow a 44-days plant-based diet to get in shape to deliver a Coachella performance.
The musician announced this via her Instagram account and she even urged her Instagram followers and friends to join her. Hence, the speculations were rife that Drake took the step after getting inspired by Beyonce, as he was her huge follower.
The duo of Beyonce and Drake is a deadly combo. Together they have given record-breaking track like “Mine”. In addition to their great music chemistry, Drake is a huge fan of Queen Bey. In fact, there’s a six-foot-tall portrait of Beyonce in Drake’s studio. Furthermore, he even dedicated a song to the singer titled ‘Girls Love Beyonce’.
When he is such a huge fan, why won’t he get influenced by the superstar and listen to her call? Hence, there was a buzz that Beyonce was the reason behind Drake’s switch to a vegan diet.
