In a video shared on Instagram ahead of the start of his It's All a Blur tour, Drake opened up about his biggest fear and shared a story about getting high before an early TV audition when he was "13 or 14."

"Someone asked me the other night what my biggest fear is," Drake started off the video, which is soundtracked by a piano composition. "And I've never really had a good answer for it, but my answer was that all this is for nothing. Kind of the idea that like, one day life ends and it just all goes black. And I guess that question like, sent me, you know, obviously deep into a spiral of thought. And it makes me think about my life and how surreal it feels at times. I go back to this day when I was like, 13 or 14."

He went on to share how he got high with some kids right before an audition, which was assumedly for Jimmy on Degrassi: The Next Generation, his breakthrough role.

"I had an audition for a TV show that ultimately shaped my life and before my audition, I went to this kid's house and I out of, I guess, a desire to be accepted," he continued. "I would succumb to peer pressure, and I got high with these kids right before my audition, and I kind of wonder, like, if something bad happened that day or, you know, maybe I'm still high, maybe I'm in some coma. And this is just like me playing out my ideal life. And yeah, that concept has stuck with me for a lot of years. I mean, it feels like reality, it feels tangible. But I definitely wonder sometimes."

Drake's tour with 21 Savage has faced a number of delays and was originally supposed to kick off last month. It was hit with several reschedulings in particular, but his representatives recently confirmed to Vulture that the main cause was due to DJ Prince, who is serving as the official tour DJ. He is reportedly suffering from health complications due to his battle against cancer.

Drizzy recently showcased a new manicure in the lead-up to the start of the tour. In a video shared on his Instagram Story last week, the Canadian superstar showed off a pink manicure, per Page Six. He's also been teasing a new album, tentatively titled For All the Dogs.

He has yet to announce a release date for the studio album, but he announced it alongside the release of his poetry book, Titles Ruin Everything. "I made an album to go with the book... They say they miss the old Drake girl don't tempt me," he recently teased. "For all the dogs."
