15 Times Drake Was Turned Into An Embarrassing Meme

Let's make one thing clear: Drake is a pop culture icon. He is known for his hit songs, equally good rapping and singing skills, acting credits on Degrassi, and his unique style. He is an acclaimed performer and has been on numerous tours. Drake has also been featured in multiple trending memes.

After the "Hotline Bling" music video was released, many viewers were focussed on his dance moves and obvious flair. Subsequently, there are dozens of memes of him in unusual poses along with hilarious captions. These memes went viral and there was no way of avoiding them. Seeing the Canadian icon in relatable situations was greatly entertaining. Some old photos of Drake have even been used in memes. His lyrics have also been incorporated for emphasis. As his success continues to grow, we won't have a shortage of memes that make us LOL.

His album covers have been manipulated into many memes. A picture of Views has been photo shopped along with Burt and Ernie from Sesame Street. On The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, mini Drakes (from the image of him sitting on the CN Tower) were printed to sit on random objects, even on your shoulder! It's a good thing the famous rapper has a good sense of humour and embraces these silly manifestations. Here are 15 times Drake was turned into an embarrassing and ridiculous meme.

15 Drake From His Hotline Bling Music Video

The music video for "Hotline Bling" was released back in 2015, but the memes just won't stop. Drake's video has surpassed a million views. Most of the comments make fun of his dancing.

Several screenshots have been edited to include the star hitting tennis balls with a racquet or even changing out the original tune. The meme with Drake playing tennis definitely pokes fun at his rumored relationship with professional player, Serena Williams. Another meme features Drake using a red light saber to defend himself against a woman in the video now attacking him with a green light saber.

Many captions referencing the importance of getting more guacamole from Chipotle or asking for more fries have been attached to various still photos of Drake. These memes definitely make Drake more relatable by putting him in unfortunate situations common in our daily lives. The pictured meme focuses on the face you make when you burn your hand while taking out food from the microwave.

14 Drake's Obsession With His Phone

This particular Drake meme conveys the love he has for his phone. He even references checking text messages and making phone calls in his lyrics. The narrative of his song, "Hotline Bling", explains how he used to get calls all the time from a woman in the past who wanted to be with him.

Drake even has an unreleased song, "Call On Me". He sings about holding onto future opportunities to be invited over via phone by a woman on his mind. There is clearly a correlation between his cellphone and certain women.

In the song, Come Winter from his mixtape, Room for Improvement, he states “It's weird that I never called you cause I rarely get shy.” Drake is usually confident so he's wondering why he never reached out. Another line from the song details “I get her number, she tells me to call her after this session.” Looks like Drake's charm was successful, yet again, at picking up an interested lady.

13 Drake's Nostalgia For His Exes

Drake is often lamenting about his past relationships and heartbreak in his songs. Drake doesn't have a weapon, but he apparently keeps phone numbers of his former girlfriends in his cellphone. According to this Drake meme, his ex-girlfriends are capable of inflicting pain on a man. Talk about powerful women!

Drake looks guilty of holding onto phone numbers of his former flames. The face he makes in the meme implicates that the alleged phone numbers could be confiscated by the officer. The cop is probably doing a big favour for Drake in this meme by taking away the phone numbers. Otherwise, Drake may be tempted to call them, get closure and try to reconnect.

Someone had to tell him that it's time to move on, right?! Who knows how long it's been since he was last in touch with these supposedly hurtful women. Maybe Drake just wants the cop to understand that he's not being too sensitive about these women from his past.

12 Old Photos Of Drake

Older photos of Drake have made their way to the internet. They have become sensational memes due to adding Drake's overconfident lyrics in a bold type over the original images. The pictured meme above is particularly funny because it appears that Drake may revert back to this phase of his life by wearing prescription glasses, patterned button up shirts and sweater vests - definitely not his usual calculated swag.

There are many similar memes out there with slightly older images of Drake and different lyrics. The juxtaposition creates great humour. The contrast between pictures of a young and bright eyed Drake along with suggestive boastful lyrics is unbeatable.

One example of this type of meme features the line, “Don't like my women single, I like my chicks in twos,” from a feature in Lil Wayne's song, "Right Above It". It looks like Drake was a lady's man at an early age. It's no wonder that Drake has so many songs about impressionable women.

11 Drake On Degrassi

Drake once portrayed Jimmy Brooks, a character on the television series, Degrassi. Jimmy was a former outstanding high school basketball player. However, he becomes paralyzed after getting shot by a classmate. Jimmy starts using a wheelchair and continues to play basketball.

Drake references his role on Degrassi early in his music career. He raps about the character on The Presentation from his Comeback Season mixtape. He asks “Who's Drake? Where's Wheelchair Jimmy at?” He has paid homage to his acting career in many other songs. In lyrics from You Know, You Know, he explains "I'm still spending money from my acting days."

Some people from Drake's hometown, Toronto even put his head over public wheelchair signs to mock him. Early memes were also created Via Chief TV on YouTube of Drake's character. They are distinctly outdated because they have full size images and block text appearing on the top or bottom. Despite these memes being insensitive, they were popular on social media in 2012.

10 Views With Bert and Ernie

Drake references Sesame Street on his track, "Bad Meaning Good" on Room For Improvement in 2006. He raps, “Streets are seedy, I call 'em Sesame.” He even name drops the beloved characters, Bert and Ernie.

It's only fitting that the performer is now in a meme with the two television show characters. Many of Drake's lyrics may not be kid-friendly. However, Sesame Street is definitely a source of entertainment for children.

This meme cleverly incorporates Drake's album, Views, as if Bert and Ernie had just noticed it. The Sesame Street duo could probably teach kids about counting to the number 6 with Drake's help. It doesn't even look like Drake is hanging from the wall, like the picture frame. He may just be sitting on a floating number 6. The television show is memorable, and this meme has resonated with older and more recent generations.

9 Drake Looking Aloof

This priceless meme features Drake looking lost. He's out of the loop in this conversation. The caption makes the images that much better. It's relatable to most students, especially on Monday mornings. When you seem to be the only person around who isn't full of energy, you start to question everything.

Nearby people who are yelling are very distracting. They can interfere with your train of thought. It's considered to be quite rude because it's disruptive. Drake knows what it takes to get ahead. Can you imagine being blamed for killing his vibe on a Monday morning? Drake does not look pleased.

Drake looks like he's going to put someone in their place. He has always dealt with his haters and fakers by writing songs about them and telling them whose boss. In his song, "Know Yourself", he sings “pray the fakes get exposed.” Drake identifies as being down to earth and stays true to himself. Drakes explains, “I've always been me, I guess I know myself,” in another line from the song.

8 Drake Is A Mama's Boy

We already know how much Drake loves his phone, so it's good to see him reading a book in this meme. He also appreciates intelligent, well-read women. Drake references his preference for book smarts in the song, "Fancy" featuring Swizz Beatz and T.I. The lyric, “I've always liked my women book and street smart,” reinforces his ideal type.

The caption of the meme may hit close to home for Drake. The rapper has always been close to his mother. He has sung about his relationship with his mom many times. He has mentioned her in the song, "Look What You've Done". He obviously adores her.

In the meme, Drake is reading a FRANK151 book. The New York City based publisher is popular with other celebrities and has garnered lots of attention on social media. On their website, they have an entry about some SoundCloud users' commentary about Drake's feud with rapper Meek Mill. Based on the meme, it looks like Drake and Frank151 are the perfect match.

7 Drake In Disbelief

Drake seems like the type of guy who would be concerned if a lady he was texting for the past hour was bored. The face he makes in this meme goes perfectly with the caption. If this situation happened to Drake, he would definitely stop referring to her as bae after tweeting about her boredom. She's also looking for different people to text her! An exasperated face emoji was added!

Looks like this unfortunate moment could be described in heartbreaking detail in an upcoming Drake song. Drake likes to remind the women of his past of their wrongdoings. His song, "Own It", stresses the importance of trust and communication. Drake remarks, “you don't love me, you just say that." The lyric refers to how woman said the right things but were not willing to get serious with him. In the song, "Doing It Wrong", he describes “it's just the end of a world that you had with one girl,” referring to a break up. Both of these songs would be fitting for the meme.

6 Drake Being Needy AF

A classic scenario involving Drake out with his crew celebrating at the club while texting a girl. The text from the meme is exaggerated. What could his girl have done to deserve that kind of reaction? Obviously being way too demanding and needy, Drake decides to shoot an angry text at his girl just because she didn't reply to his text within a minute. So, he broke up with her in a text message due to a lack of communication on her part. Initially coming off as passive aggressive to severing ties in the same text. Just like the song, "From Time", featuring Jhene Aiko, Drake will just use “that negative energy” for him to feed into future projects and personal growth.

The meme is quite tongue in cheek because some people in relationships are guilty of regularly checking in with their significant other. If you are out at a club, you may have to inform someone else on your relationship status if you get hit on or asked out. It can be a rather awkward and difficult situation. This meme really ups the ante in this case.

5 Drake Unhappy With Being Backseat

Safety first! Everybody should fasten their seat belts, especially Drake. In this meme, he clearly lost out on the front seat despite calling dibs. Apart from riding shot gun, Drake also enjoys driving around. Drake's facial expression in the meme looks like he wasn't shown enough respect.

In his song, "Connect", Drake mentions how he would borrow his uncle's car. The line, "you drive my whip like it's yours," conveys how Drake takes control of the wheel and treats the vehicle like it's his possession. He makes multiple references within the song about driving fast, filling up for gas and having to renew his driver's license.

Drake also takes pride in having enough money to afford nice cars. Drake boasts “I got car money” in the song, "Dreams Money Can Buy". He explains that his work has kept him too “busy to drive stick”, as opposed to automatic in another lyric. The pictured meme is just one example of Drake's feeling towards cars and driving.

4 Drake Chillin With Krusty Krab

Who is friends with Drake and SpongeBob Square Pants? It's Krusty Krab! Here he is chilling out with the rapper on a ledge of the CN Tower in Toronto. The Canadian rapper takes pride in his city. The animated character has been photoshopped into the cover art image for Views.

Drake's album is practically dedicated to shouting out love for the city. He mentions area codes, Kennedy Road in Scarborough, the public, and its chilly climate in winter. Drake name drops fellow Toronto singer, Glenn Lewis, in the song, "Weston Road Flows". Having seven years of great radio play, Drake's first single coming in at number-one on Canadian charts is "One Dance".Unfortunately, Drake has not made a shout out to the childrens' television show in his songs. I guess the bromance between them isn't as strong compared to Ernie and Bert from Sesame Street. However, it looks like this meme has brought them together and they seem to be enjoying being there.

3 Drake LOVE$ Taylor Swift

It turns out that Taylor Swift and Drake are big fans of each other's music. The stars have both appeared in Apple Music advertisements on television and online. This meme does exaggerate the percent of sales of the song, Jumpman by Drake featuring Future. The entertaining advertisement with Taylor Swift was effective at promoting the track to a wide audience.

Taylor Swift was on the treadmill while listening to Jumpman in the Apple Music ad. There are also some voice overs of her telling viewers how much she hates cardio. She starts lip synching, singing and using lots of hand gestures to the song. Her enthusiasm results in her losing balance while running on the machine, and she eventually falls down on her face.

In Drake's ad for Apple Music, he is working out with a friend. After his friend leaves, Drake looks through the music in his phone. He decides to play "Bad Blood" by Taylor Swift. He starts to lip sync and then singing along while dancing. He works up to weight lifting from the bench. In an unfortunate and amusing way, he becomes pinned down. He falls down while displaying his frustration.

2 Drake's Producer Over His Girl

A meme that ties in with two of Drake's songs! "Best I Ever Had" and "Jumpman" by Drake featuring Future are being referenced. It's quite a shock to see Drake holding a weapon.He does have many gun metaphors in his track, "5am in Toronto". He says “I could load every gun with bullets that fire backwards,” to convey the point that many rappers put on a front about their lifestyle. Drake implies that no one would try to come at him.

Another line is “they never take shots, I got everybody on safety,” as most of his critics aren't making any negative comments about him to the public. He believes the music industry wants to keep him around due to his successful and growing career. Drake is needed to benefit others.

In the song, "Back to Back (Freestyle)", Drake chimes “like I'm on the cover of Lethal Weapon,” because can't escape him and his achievements. He uses wordplay in another line, “trigger fingers turn to twitter fingers.” Drake explains how most people who are heated over a subject will fire off negative words on social media.

1 Drake Reppin' The Raptors

Drake's outfit is front and centre in this meme. Looks like Drake is at a Raptors Game because he's wearing an OVO Northern Uprising shirt to represent the sports team. He actually helped design new merchandise.

As a strong supporter, he held season tickets. In 2013, Drake became the global ambassador for the NBA team. The announcement was made in front of a standing crowd at the Air Canada Centre.

His duties include assisting with rebranding. Drake also helped sell tickets for the 2016 NBA All-Star game in Canada. He takes the position very seriously by dedicating some of his time to them when he isn't busy with music or travel.

Drake makes it clear that his intentions are true and isn't in it for the publicity, even though he has been seen supporting other NBA teams. He wants Raptors fans to get excited about hunting down tickets, getting great seats, and watching one of the best teams in the NBA.
