Air Drake...wowsa! Rapper, Drake, gets airplane named after him...


You have definitely arrived when they name a plane after you.

Toronto rapper Aubrey "Drake" Graham has become the first hip-hop artist to have a commercial airplane named after him. It was all in celebration of Sir Richard Branson launching his first Virgin flight between Toronto and California cities.

















 "It's breathtaking to stand out here and stare at this plane," Drake said shortly after arriving in Toronto with Virgin Group chairman Sir Richard Branson on the plane's inaugural flight. "It's phenomenal."

"We're honoured to name our plane Air Drake. He's Canadian through and through; he's one of the most successful Canadians. He bridges the gap between Canada and America very successfully." echoed Branson.

When you are big, you are big!
