Canadian superstar Drake has admitted that he actively tries to avoid the misogynistic attitude that often creeps into rap music because his own "mother made me truly appreciate women". 

The 'Take Care' hitmaker explained to The Daily Beast that although he loves to write sexually provocative and risqué rhymes he always exercises his respect for women as he doesn't want to offend them:

"My mother made me truly appreciate women. I obviously make sex-driven, darker, sexier music, but I try not to offend women."

"It's not in my character. And my father was basically a reverse-role model for me. I'm dying to be a great dad one day, whenever that day comes. Other than that, it was hard just growing up with my mom and watching her fight for me to have a good childhood. It was tough to watch."
