Drake a (c)rapper who (c)rapped the evils about climate change, decided a Boeing 767 was what he needed. So he buys a cargo 767 to outfit as a outlandish private oasis with Air Drake stencilled on the engine nacelles.

I guess the tons of carbon that plane would emit doesn’t apply to him.

No surprise. The elite think conservation is for the little people, not them.

He should talk to Al Gore to see how he can help the environment even more.

What other means of transportation should he use to get around that would allow him to keep up with his tight schedule?

I'm the furthest thing from a Drake fan, but I would like to know your answer to my question.

Maybe a regular sized private plane? You know, like every other wealthy person or celebrity has...how many have seen the need for a 767 sized plane?!


Even with the massive ego Trump has, his private plane before he was elected was nothing close to something as large as a 767! Plus, I believe in Trumps case, he actually bought a used plane and had it redone, it was a larger sized plane, but not even close to the size of a freighter.


I think this is probably a stunt, (Boeing may be involved, just to have their name associated with the story) Drake is definitely a well known, successful artist, but I doubt even he could afford the $220M price tag, not to mention the maintenance and staff that comes with it. Recording artists and musicians are very well paid today...but they are NOT this wealthy!!

If he is going to tout the evils of climate change, he should take an electric motor coach with solar and wind backup. Prove the crap you're demanding everyone else live off works by doing it yourself.

My understanding is that the jet he paid for was valued between $80 and $100 million for it. Given that he's worth $140 million, he can most certainly afford it. And even if he couldn't, that's none of our business.

As far as the suggestion about buying a smaller private jet, that's fair. Even so, Drake is far from the only celebrity hypocrite. We have a massive one in the White House as I type.

Going everywhere in a bus simply isn't practical for someone with the demanding schedule that Drake has.

Which as you know does not exist. They don't and some of that is by the gas companies and car companies squashing electric as much as they could. I mean besides the Prius (which is mocked by "car guys") name a successful electric car. I dare you. The fact is we are as much hypocrites for laughing at climate change bell ringers for hypocrisy as they are. If we don't give an honest try to alternative fuel sources, why condemn people when they have to buy others?

FYI, not a Drake fan. Was kind of a fan of his Degrassi character especially about season 4 on (this was leading into him getting shot.)
