This week marks the Drake's 10th week at the top of the Billboard 200 with his album Views. But 10 years ago, his life looked a little different.

Drake's 'Views' Back at No. 1 on Billboard 200 for 10th Week

On Sunday (July 17), the rapper unearthed a gem from 2006: a letter written to his mother in which he apologizes for going a bit bid-crazy on eBay, apparently with her credit card. At the time of writing the letter -- which the rapper posted on Instagram -- he would have been about 19 years old, self-releasing his first mixtape and probably best-known for his stint on the Canadian teen drama Degrassi: The Next Generation.

"Dear Mom," the letter reads, "I have cancelled the WireImage subscription due to my Ebay charges coming to more than I had planned for. Please know that you will [be] reimbursed fully through several methods and or means of payment. Thanks for temporarily funding my music and wardrobe."

"eBay was the addiction back in 2006. Def come a long way and it's safe to say I most likely settled this debt. #NothingWithoutMyMom #IProbablyBoughtSomeEvisuJeans," Drake wrote as a caption for the photo.
