Drake Dishes On His Sweater Obsession And Possible Plans For His Own Collection

Huffington Post     First Posted: 11/15/11 09:56 AM ET   Updated: 11/15/11 04:43 PM ET

Drake has been called overly emotional, a hopeless romantic and a singing-rapper but whatever you do--don't talk smack about his sweaters!

Whether it be the warm fuzzy feeling they give him, a fashion statement or both, we don't know--but we do know the Canada native's affection runs deep for these plush clothing items. We have witnessed this level of affection for knitwear since Mr. Rogers and Bill Cosby!

Drake recently opened up about his favorite sweaters from his beloved collection with GQ magazine.

"It's a toss-up between three sweaters. I'd say one would be obviously the OVO Owl Sweater. I can wear it repetitively and no one calls me out on it. I have a cashmere Hermes sweater that I love. Lastly, any of my Missoni sweaters," Drake told GQ.

And for all the sweater-haters out there, Drake has a special this message for you:

"I don't give a fuck what anybody says about my Missoni sweaters! Fuck you, if you don't like my sweater! It's funny because people only talk about me and sweaters because I don't give them anything else to talk about," Drake told GQ. I live in Canada, so any dirt I do you'll never see because we don't have the paparazzi up there! It's the stupidest thing, man, but I'll embrace it."

Good thing Drake has the talent and confidence to backup wearing his cozy knits. In fact, the rapper would like to spread his love for sweaters with a full fledged fashion collection.

"Hopefully Missoni hollers at me and we get a sweater line popping," Drake revealed to GQ.

Well, Drake isn't the only one swooning over sweaters--there are several male celebrities that have been caught out-and-about in cute and sometimes questionable knitwear (Is that you Kanye?)

That's probably the strangest complaint I've ever heard! People hate on him for wearing an article of clothing??? Is there nothing else in the world to be concerned with? So the guy likes sweaters...it's cold as h*ll in Canada! Maybe he just likes to be warm! Jeez!

Why the profanity? Why can't people speak without using profanity?

You need profanity for emphasis and to convey emotion in some cases. Some words just don't cut it when you wan't to show how you really feel... lol.

Samuel L. Jackson was pull off wearing a sweater in the middle of July in the Mohabi desert.

Drake can't pull off wearing a sweater in Alberta, Canada during a cold front with steel toe boots and a parka on. I hate the word swag but

"if yeen got it, then yeen got it." whoot.
