Aubrey Drake Graham may be the most meme-worthy rapper this side of Lil B. And while the caricature Based God is usually in on the joke, sometimes it feels like the Internet has a love/hate relationship with Drizzy.
Going online might not be part of his day, but we all were doubled over in laughter during these 13 times Black Twitter betrayed Drake. It’s all in fun, because most of us are still playing If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late.

Madonna’s Coachella Tongue-Lashing
Either Madonna’s lipstick tastes like raw chitlins or Drizzy wasn’t a fan of her tickling his tonsils with her tongue at Coachella. Either way, we got a ton of hilarious memes from the incident, before Madonna got all caught up in her feelings.
“Started From The Bottom” Is Slandered
What began (and still is) a dope song turned into efforts to discredit Drake’s nonexistent hood pass. He won’t catch a body, and only Torontonians know if Kennedy Road is the T-Dot equivalent of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. But Black Twitter showed no chill in essentially calling out Drake for being a product of the suburbs.
The Toronto Raptors Lint Roller
We respect Drake’s courtside fresh, but this was a bridge too far. At least everyone had enough fun with this to turn it into an actual Raptors promotion.
The Take Care Cover
This meme will forever live in infamy.

The Rolling Stone Cover Pouting
You have to be pretty petty to get mad that a magazine gave your cover to an acclaimed actor who died of a drug overdose.
Drizzy’s Bandwagon Sports Fandom
There’s a bit of a conflict of interest with Drake being a LeBron fan and holding an official position with the Toronto Raptors. Add in some name-checking of Neymar Jr. and Skylar Diggins, and Drake finally defended himself by saying—unless it’s Raptors or UK—he supports the player not the institution.
Kendrick’s BET Cypher Freestyle
Well, Aubrey really was wearing some geriatric PJ’s. But he was boarding a private jet while the peanut gallery was hating from behind their respective keyboards, so context is key here. Kendrick didn’t have to do him like that though. High-five.
Drake’s ACL Injury
It’s pretty wrong to laugh at a dude’s physical injury, but even Lil Wayne had to get his giggles in. Let’s not pretend as if Drake didn’t fold like one of those cheap chairs you use to play cards when his knee buckled back in 2009.
The Kentucky Airball
There’s that infamous clip of Drake joining the Kentucky Wildcats in a layup line. His form and follow through were on point, but he didn’t it anything besides the hardwood with a few consecutive airballs. Now who’s talking about shooting in the gym?
His Suspect Tattoos
Barring some altercations or outright removal, Drake has ink of Aaliyah and a praying hands emoji on him for life. As one might imagine, Black Twitter went in with the #DrakeSoSoft jokes.

Sliding In Mia Khalifa’s DMs
“Talking strippers and models that try to gain attention/Even a couple pornstars that I’m ashamed to mention…” In Drake’s defense, Mia Khalifa was wearing a “TOPSZN” hat. He probably thought she was down for a trip to pound town when he allegedly slid into her Instagram DMs.
Diddy Allegedly Tapped That Jaw
Whoever Puff pays to write his rhymes probably wouldn’t have done a better job on “0 to 100.” But Mr. Combs didn’t hide his displeasure at supposedly having that beat first, and the Internet was full of rumors that he offered Drake the fade at Art Basel in 2014. Don’t go out like the UCLA football coach, Drizzy.
Drake’s Governor’s Ball Lululemons
There’s an unfortunate history of Young Money male artists wearing pants so tight they border on effeminate. Case in point, Drake looked like a yoga mom at the 2015 Governor’s Ball, and Black Twitter went in. The only YMCMB artists we want to see in tights are Nicki Minaj and Christina Milian.
