The Canadian star, whose real name is Aubrey Drake Graham, made his acting debut on “Degrassi: The Next Generation” in 2001 as Jimmy Brooks, a basketball star who became physically disabled after he was shot by a classmate.

He was on hand to help celebrate the premiere of the new web-series, We Are Disorderly. The impromptu reunion led to several photos being posted to the official Degrassi Instagram where fans got a chance to reminisce on the show’s glory days. Here’s Drake shoulder-to-shoulder with Sean (Daniel Clark), Marco (Adamo Ruggiero), and Paige (Lauren Collins)!

The series they were supporting is directed by Samir Rehem, who directed a ton of “Degrassi” episodes, and written by Mazin Elsadig, who played Damian on the Noggin show. But there were happier times for Jimmy too – like when he showed off his rap skills in front of the whole school and people loved it.

Drake was also photographed laughing away with Degrassi creator and producer Linda Schuyler at the event. He did voice a character in Ice Age: Continental Drift and he had a cameo in Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues.
