Started from the Bottom- Drake

Drake's latest single "Started from the Bottom" shows us how he went from being no one to being one of the most well know rappers of today.   Even though  I personally don't like Drake, this new song is good.  I don't really agree though that he "started from the bottom" because everyone knew who he was because of his role in Degrassi.    So I feel like he used his popularity from that show to boost his rap career which knid of goes against what he is trying to say in this song.
