Drake Recreates Iconic Kentucky Basketball Meme: “All My Brothers Left Me”

Drake rocks Kentucky blue on these… you know, and it’s one of many, many incredible memes of him over the years. Some are a bit more insulting than others, a few are just funny no matter what, a couple are pretty cringe, but one of the most enduring and random is the photo of him sitting in University of Kentucky basketball gear amid the actual team about a decade ago. In fact, it’s wild to see familiar faces in that pic such as a young Devin Booker sitting right in front of the 6ix God in the original meme. However, it looks like the Toronto superstar recently went back to visit, and decided to fool around for old times’ sake.

“Oh hell nah all my brothers left me [crying laughing emojis],” Drake captioned a new snap of him in the exact same position as the original Kentucky meme and dressed in almost the same exact same get-up. The only difference is that now he’s alone in the pic, so it looks like he still needs to work on his jumper and a more consistent transition defense if he wants to become a star. Jokes aside, it’s heartening to see Drizzy acknowledge his impact on pop culture. He’s obviously known it for years and years, but some artists never really reckon with their importance in meme culture. Plus, the 37-year-old hasn’t let his age dilute his sense of humor.

Elsewhere in the world of OVO, there are some new dating rumors swirling around its boss. Moreover, Drake and Latto’s sister Brooklyn were recently spotted together, prompting a lot of speculation. At first, folks thought there would be a collab between the two MCs, but then they realized the depth of the potential tea here. While it’s not uncommon for him to get rumors like this floating around, they are a bit more rare than other celebrities.

Meanwhile, Sexyy Red recently thanked the “Virginia Beach” hitmaker for all the gifts he gave her so far over the course of their friendship. Some of those gifts will be only for one person, which in this case is the St. Louis star. But others, like the many memes of him over the years, are treasures that we can all share. Good luck next year, Aubrey, we know you’ve got one heck of a floater. Log back into HNHHH for the latest news and more updates on Drake.

Rihanna’s Choreographer Reposts Drake Meme Amid “Fear Of Heights” Backlash

Drake pissed off a lot of fanbases with For All The Dogs. While the Barbz are mad that Drake seemingly lied about a Nicki feature, the Rihanna Navy has taken issue with the track “Fear Of Heights”, which appears to be a thinly-veiled Rihanna diss track. The track led Paris Goebel, Rihanna’s primary choreographer, to repost an image of Drake awkwardly kissing a woman to her Instagram story.

Drake and Rihanna were once thick as thieves and even reportedly dated on and off between 2009 and 2018. Both of Drake’s first two times hitting #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 came as a feature on a Rihanna track (“What’s My Name?” and “Work”). However, that seems like ancient history given “Fear Of Heights”, which appears to reference her 2016 album Anti multiple times as well as taking direct shots at Rihanna and her long-time partner A$AP Rocky.

Rihanna Named As Dream Performer For Dancing With The Stars

However, outside of Drake, Rihanna is being spoken about in a much more positive light. Actor Tyson Beckford has said that Rihanna would be his dream live performance for Dancing With The Stars. Furthermore, he even teased that he might try to make it a reality this season. “I know her people,” he told Billboard this week. The show has a reputation for pulling out famous faces for occasion performances on the show, especially in the later weeks. Rihanna would be an absolutely massive grab for the show. Beckford is currently starring on the dance competition’s 32nd second season. He is partnered with Jenna Johnson, a seasoned veteran of the show who has won the show once and finished second twice.

Elsewhere, a rather adorable story about the Barbadian icon recently emerged. During her pregnancies, RiRi would reportedly binge-watch 90 Day Fiancé. The story was revealed by Yara Zaya, who had appeared on the show. “She DM’d me back in February 2021 when she was pregnant with her first baby. She told me she loved my storyline, and loves to watch the show. I always loved her. I reached out to her first, but had no idea that she would ever reply back to me,” Zaya told Page Six. Reportedly, Rihanna also contacted another person featured on the show, Angela Deem.

Drake Memes: The Best “Drake The Type” By Far

Drake fans have long celebrated the award-winning artist as he has spent the last decade or so dropping hit after hit. He has also proven himself to be a double threat making a splash on screen with roles in the Degrassi Jr. High revival: Degrassi: The Next Generation. But anyone who has spent time online since around 2014 knows Drake’s fame has expanded beyond his musical and acting roles…he has also become the star of some of the best memes floating on the internet to date.

The Drake memes have become an internet favorite, a meme mainstay. What inspired these internet sensations or where the Drake memes originated is unclear. However, these hilarious memes began popping up nearly a decade ago. Since then, they have become a significant part of the meme culture.

Drake The Type of Fella…

One of our favorite meme trends featuring Drizzy is the famous “Drake the type of fella” trend. This is one of the most popular Drake memes to date. Of course you know these memes, which feature a variety of instances in which “Drake is the type of guy” that goes super sensitive in various hilarious instances. This trend is even making a comeback on Twitter.

Fans are having a blast with this resurgence of the meme theme. It seems as if there is no shortage of quips depicting the singer as the “type of fella who…” In fact, meme creators are coming up with some even funnier “Drake the type of fella” jokes years after the trend first hit the internet.

Angel and Devil

The singer’s thoughtful black-and-white pic is the perfect image for this popular series of Drake memes. The idea reflects that Drake is the “type of guy to talk to an angel and devil on his shoulder when contemplating something.” Of course, during his career, Drake has provided fans and meme lovers with plenty of images for these memes. The black and white pic is undoubtedly a favorite, but other poses also get plenty of use in the meme game.

No More Mr. Nice Guy

Another “softer” image of the singer in which he is sporting a buzzcut with a heart shaved out of the front hilariously reveals that Drake “the type of dude to say “no more mister nice guy” when he’s angry.” Of course, since these popular memes have been a big part of pop culture for nearly a decade, they have changed over time. This is especially true as the artist has continued growing in popularity. One of the most popular Drake memes shares side-by-side images of the artist depicting how much the singer has changed over the years.

Certified Lover Boy Gives Us Another Moment

In 2021, the famous artist sparked yet another generation of viral memes after posting a mirror selfie on his Instagram story as his album Certified Lover Boy was set to drop. Naturally, fans found this Drake post hilarious and went to work developing new memes that played right into it. The Insta photo features the singer posing in front of a mirror posing with his hand over his mouth. In the post, Drake is donning an oversized jumper. Some fans even compared the pic with singer Ariana Grande.

The One That Started It All

Then there is the meme that started it all in 2014 or 2015. You know, the one…the meme derived from a still taken from Drake’s wildly popular “Hotline Bling” video. In the video, he shows off several dance moves, an impressive skill we’ve grown to love about the famous performer. The video features Drake making a gesture – for just a split-second – where he is holding up his hand with a disgusted look to show disapproval, followed by a moment where the hip-hop hitmaker is smiling, nodding in approval.

It is the combination of these two images that made meme history. There are dozens of other funny Drake meme moments, and we’re sure many more will come. Drake and his impact on the industry have created a fantastic legacy. These mems only add comedy to his lasting influence.
