“It’s finally come, the countdown has reached one, with each new album my heart skips a beat, being your mother has been my life’s greatest treat,” wrote Graham, 61. “It’s been a long hard road together, now there’s one more day to go. I wanna celebrate you son, more than you’ll ever know.”
Graham signed the card, “Love you more now and forever.”
Drake has regularly paid tribute to his mother on his Instagram, sharing photos from his childhood.
“Happy Mother’s Day to all the big time women out there doing the hardest work on gods green earth,” he said in a post from 2020.
This year, he shared a slideshow of pictures of his early life in Toronto in which his mother says in a voiceover, “The role of a mother never comes to an end, never.”
Graham penned sweet notes to celebrate the release of Certified Lover Boy all week long, writing in one message, “Everyone’s excited, cause you’re nothing like the rest. Three more days my pookaroo I couldn’t be more proud of you! Loving mom.”
Another tribute read, “We go high when they go low. Certified – its been quite a ride, I forever admire your relentless drive. From: Loving Mom.”

After a series of delays, Drake announced the record’s release on Monday in an Instagram post that featured 12 different pregnant women emojis along with the caption, “CERTIFIED LOVER BOY SEPTEMBER 3.”
Earlier this year, when the One Dance hitmaker was named Billboard’s Artist of the Decade he said he was “self-conscious about my music.”
“I rarely celebrate anything. For anyone watching this that’s wondering how this happened, that’s really the answer: It’s being so unsure how you’re getting it done that you just keep going in the hopes of figuring out the formula. Feeling so lucky and blessed that the fear of losing it keeps you up at night.”
In a post on his Instagram Stories, the rapper described the new album as, “A combination of toxic masculinity and acceptance of truth which is inevitably heartbreaking.”
And to make sure he keeps his basketball cred intact, the music video for the song Way 2 Sexy, with guests Future and Young Thug, features former Toronto Raptors star Kawhi Leonard.
