Fact-checking Drake: Does Toronto Really Love Him?

The fact that we can’t just open our window and note the number of times per hour “Marvin’s Room” leaks out of a passing car on Yonge Street makes us yearn to know: does the population of Toronto support its baby-faced star as much as he says it does? Or is Drake using his city’s relatively remote and exotic status, by hip-hop standards, to bluff some street cred? We called The New Yorker fact checker Carolyn Kormann and asked her how she would verify such an assertion.

Would like to draw people’s attention to this:

According to a statement he sent me, Mayor Rob For has him on his playlist. He calls Drake an “amazing artist.”

Um. Really.
