Drake has achieved a great deal of commercial success in the hip-hop industry, yet he has very low street cred. However, the softer side of Canada’s most successful musical export (of this generation) is probably what he is best known for.
Rap royalty Drizzy may be, but his lovable gentleness puts him on the opposite end of the terrifying scale from the notoriously intimidating tycoon Suge Knight and has helped fuel the growth of a meme that refuses to die even after more than a decade.
Social media fans have been making fun of the 6ix god’s gentler side with the “Drake the type of person” meme, imagining circumstances in which the Honestly, Nevermind rapper would respond with humorous or insightful comments or actions.
The joke has been circulating since at least 2011, and it resurfaced last week in a huge way well over ten years after it initially did.
A Drake meme-filled Twitter thread has gone viral, with its first post receiving 144K likes and more than 10K retweets as of Tuesday morning.
Others have joined the jokes about Drake’s reputation as having a nice, friendly, and sometimes silly nature, traits that have led some admirers to refer to the multi-platinum artist as a cartoon.
As examples, “Drake the sort of guy to sprout a cone on his head after getting hit” and “Drake the type of guy to sprint through a wall and leave a drake-shaped hole” are used to describe the man as if he were a Loony Tunes character.

Despite the fact that Drake’s fans started the trend in 2013, they couldn’t help but create new memes this week.
