Drake has created a monster.
When fans can invest great personal interest in one’s physical appearance that actually rivals the existence of new music, there is no doubt that one has fully arrived.
That’s the dilemma the Views author has found himself in. His fans care; maybe a little too much.

Seeing that pictures are often considered a thousand words, many opted to completely ignore the part about his facial hair returning in a couple of weeks and come up with some hilarious faux concern.
Drake cut his beard. He is no longer "Champagne Papi". He is now "Four Loko Man"… Bye

Drake must be playing a 12 year old on #SNL. Only valid reason to shave off a beard. And he should've rejected that character TBQH.

Fellas I hope y'all seeing how fast these women turning on Drake since he cut his beard off. They don't really like you for you.

It'll be okay. Drake's beard will grow back in no time and he'll get back to having y'all reminisce on a relationship you never had.
