Drake has turned his reputation as a selfie lover into a source of humor, delighting both fans and haters with his latest Instagram post.
On Wednesday evening, the rapper known for his dramatic selfies returned to Instagram after a brief hiatus to share a series of photos that playfully parody his own image.
The first image shows Drake in a familiar, exaggerated selfie pose in front of a mirror. But the real surprise comes with the next two photos: one of gaming YouTuber Duke Dennis and another of rapper and podcaster Joe Budden, both of whom are pictured with similarly exaggerated facial expressions. The photos are a humorous nod to the men who Drake jokingly claims “influenced” his selfie style.
Drake’s caption for the post adds to the fun: “I’m not conscious of my image or my reflection. It’s a curse from birth and I’m influenced by what I see.” The inclusion of Dennis and Budden is especially unexpected given that Budden and Drake have long been at loggerheads.
However, Budden recently praised Drake’s latest music, sparking speculation that this post could be a sign of a softening of tension in their relationship. Whether it’s a sign of reconciliation or just a playful dig, Drake’s post has certainly sparked discussion online.
