If I'm not mistaken, he was on a show called Degrassi as an actor. There were a few episodes in which he did some rapping and was picked up from that.

Wayne signed him after he heard his mixtapes.
This is how me got signed. Lil wayne had been touring and at the time he was in Houston. In Houston there is a big record label called Rap-A-Lot records run by J.Prince. His son Jas Prince had been listening to him and everything and HE put drake on to lil wayne. So lil wayne flew him to houston n met him then the rest is self explanatory. No if lil wayne never flew him out i would almost guarante drake would be on Rap-a-lot right now.
