One thing a lot of Drake’s fans have wondered over the years is how tall he is. They’ve even speculated that the star might wear lifts while out in public. Remember, in the rap game, image is everything.

Contrary to his record-shattering accolades and larger-than-life persona, Drake doesn’t stand at a towering 12 feet tall. The Grammy winner is actually a solid 6 feet tall. Regardless of his age or physicality, he’s been a part of popular culture for longer than many of his fans have been alive, and that’s cause for celebration.
