Drake poses with a stunning beanie and pouty selfie becomes an instant meme

Drake’s latest Instagram look, featuring a rhinestone beanie and fur coat, turned into a comedy gold mine as social media users joked about it.

Late Friday night, Drake posted two new photos on Instagram, a sparkling selfie and a full-length mirror shot, and within minutes, the internet turned it into a discussion.

Wearing a rhinestone-covered cream beanie, plush fur coat and baggy khaki pants, Drake posed with a serious face and a downward camera angle that some users said looked more like a perfume ad audition than stylish tenderness.

Comments came in quickly, with people comparing the beanie to DIY holiday decorations or something from Michaels’ “Special Occasions” section.

His facial expression, with his pursed lips and tense expression, also attracted attention. One user wrote that he looked like he was “practicing a serious expression in the mirror,” while another said he looked like someone “trying to remember if they left the stove on.”

“Brother survived Kendrick, ankle monitors, UMG lawsuits, and Canadian winter haircuts…only to hit us with the most depressing duck face known to man,” one fan said.

Drake and his Instagram photos have long been a source of light-hearted commentary. When he debuted his heart-shaped haircut in 2021, social media quickly turned it into a meme factory, comparing it to Valentine’s Day clipart.

In October, his voluminous curls sparked more jokes, with users saying he looked ready to star in a 2000s R&B video. His red leather suit paired with chrome nails became a multi-day meme marathon, with people calling him “expressive,” “experimental” and “committed to aesthetics, no matter what it is.”

These new photos follow the same pattern:

Drake posted something he clearly liked, and the internet was filled with humor that felt more funny than cruel.
