Drake, a Canadian rapper, has included a Bitcoin BTC $108,530.87 reference in his latest song, What Did I Miss?, released on July 5.

In the first lines of the song, Drake compared the unpredictable nature of life to Bitcoin’s frequent price swings.

He pointed out that, just like Bitcoin’s price, things can be low one moment and high the next. The rest of the verse shows that he does not rely on others' approval and that he has grown used to unexpected outcomes, even if they still catch him off guard.
