Canadian rapper celebrate his 'Re-Bar Mitzvah'
Drake's much anticipated video from 'Take Care' lets us in on a little personal history
Recently we got a tease of Drake's new music video with photos showing him at a synagogue celebrating his Bar Mitzvah.
On Passover eve, Drake officially released the video HYFR from his album 'Take Care', which re-creates his bar mitzvah, and lets us in on a little personal history.
The video, featuring Lil Wayne, Tray Songz, Birdman and DJ Khaled, opens with actual footage of a young Aubrey Graham, AKA Drake, at a Bar Mitzvah wishing the camera a Mazel Tov.
The video then cuts out to the message, "On October 24th 2011, Aubrey 'Drake' Graham chose to get re-Bar Mitzvah'd as a re-commitment to his Jewish religion."
From there on the video becomes a massive celebration.
