A childhood note written by rapper and singer Drake is on sale for $7,500 (£5,725).

In the handwritten message reportedly to his mother, the Canadian star – full name Aubrey Drake Graham – promises to clean his room in return for lifts in the mornings – something which, after shifting more than 20 million albums worldwide, he probably doesn't need to worry about anymore.

"I will clean my room when I come home," Drake's message says – and it's signed, which means he must have been serious.

The young Aubrey's words are followed by the reply: "In order to receive 8.15am rides this week – room must be clean + bathroom must be clean AS PROMISED FRI JAN. 18th!!!"

The then aspiring rapper also lists his achievements for his future biography, saying that he "sings, acts and raps" and that he "lives for music".
