Rapper Central Cee has admitted that his friendship with the 6 God, Drake, leaves him feeling like "a little fish." When questioned by Instagram channel Rambo Is Talking about who has ever made him feel broke, Cee didn't mince words - it was none other than the rapper and businessman himself.
The UK star confessed that despite being around successful individuals, such as himself, people with Drake's level of wealth often "own hospitals" and have their hands in numerous business ventures. As a result, he believes it's impossible to catch up financially.
Cee expressed his appreciation for staying in the company of high-achieving friends, yet acknowledged that Drake's unparalleled success leaves him feeling dwarfed. He even joked about being a "little fish" when compared to the Canadian rapper.
In contrast, Central Cee was offered millions of dollars by Rolling Loud co-founder Tariq Cherif to perform at their festival in India, but he has never taken them up on the offer - Drake is the only rapper who makes him feel broke.

. I get why Central Cee feels that way, especially when you see someone like Drake with such a huge empire and wealth. It's not just about his music, he's got businesses, investments... it's almost like he owns a hospital or something! 
And to be honest, it's hard not to feel a little overshadowed by someone who's making millions from their brand alone. But at the same time, I love that Cee is speaking his mind and being real about how he feels. He's still choosing to hang out with people like Drake, even if it makes him feel small. That takes a lot of courage, you know? 
. like, drake's a whole different level of success, and cee's just tryna keep up. but honestly, it's kinda realistic 
. we all know someone who's "broke" because they're stuck in a cycle of debt or can't afford basic things. and let's be real, most ppl with drake's kind of cash are investing it elsewhere or owning businesses that make them even more rich 
. and tbh, who wouldn't feel a little "broke" compared to someone like drake? 
... I got a friend from school and his cousin's wife works for one of these big-time rappers and she says the same thing - like, you gotta know where to spend your money right. But Central Cee's right too, it is hard not to feel left behind when someone's got more than half a billion in their bank 
. On one hand, I get why he appreciates staying around successful friends - they can keep him humble and motivated. But on the other hand, it's crazy that his friendship with Drake is making him question his own financial goals 
. Meanwhile, he has a chance to perform at Rolling Loud for a million bucks and he's like "nah, I'm good" 
? It's just another side of the luxury life, you know? 
. And it's interesting that he's willing to speak out, even if it means saying something potentially embarrassing about his friend 
. Like, why not take the money? It's free money 
. Still, you gotta respect Cee for calling out Drake on this one... even if he is just trying to get some sympathy 
but at least he's appreciative of the friendship, right? 
That's a LOT of streams. And we all know how much money goes into producing music... Cee's offer from Rolling Loud was millions for one show?! 
BUT YET, HE'S STILL HANGING OUT WITH US AND WE'RE ALL JUST TRYNA KEEP UP 
? FOR CENTRAL CEE TO ADMISSION THAT HE'LL NEVER BE ON THE SAME FINANCIAL LEVEL AS DRAKE IS PRETTY REALISTIC 
. And I get it, Central Cee wants someone to look up to and learn from, but it's hard not to feel a bit small when your friend is changing the game every minute 
. On one hand, having people like Drake around can be super inspiring, but on the other hand, it's like trying to compete with someone who already owns the field
