In an Instagram story press release, the rapper states that while everyone is "enjoying the circus" he wants to "clarify the image in question".
Drake explained that the picture was taken before his music career back in 2007 when he was working as an actor. The image was meant to raised awareness of how African American actors get stereotyped and are wrongfully portrayed in entertainment.
