Drake Joins “Saturday Night Live” Cast For Digital Short And Weekend Update Skits

    Saturday, Drake joined Nicki Minaj as the only members of Young Money to perform as both musical guests and in an acting capacity. Drake performed the singles “Headlines” and also performed “Make Me Proud” with Nicki Minaj. Drake was also featured in SNL’s “Weekend Update” bit with Jay Pharoah, where the pair performed the fictional track “Bag Jacking.” Drake’s other acting appearance came alongside Andy Samberg in a digital short that featured a series of differently styled interviews with Drake, ranging from “brief” to “sarcastic.”

    Prior to the show’s airing, Drake told MTV News he pushed for an “atmosphere change” and promised a “larger than life” performance that hinted at a possible Nicki Minaj cameo. Drake’s acting career began on the series “DeGrassi: The Next Generation” as the character Jimmy. Cash Money President and Young Money Founder Lil Wayne appeared on “Saturday Night Live” with Eminem in 2010, but neither artist performed in an acting capacity.

    1. another reason why you cant take this guy serious
      he was raised by his white jewish mother in Toronto’s wealthy Forest Hill neighborhood
      In 2001, Drake began his acting career

      1. drake is hood. he knows lil wayne and stuff. plus you just jealous cuz nikki minaj wants him more then u. hater. i can tell u broke and mad drake has more monies then u.

        pretty close? it’s my YM dickrider audition. i wanna act myself. i’m trying.

      2. there are soooo many LOOOSERS on this site, its crazy. where is this rule that you have to be street or hood to be a rapper? if you can spit, you can spit. why do people wanna hear about bussin guns, sellin dope and the streets when 80 percent of you losers were raised in the suburbs? makes no sense. no one is grown on hiphopdx, worst comments ever by a bunch of scrubs

    2. God damnit, get this faggot out of hip-hop. He’s an embarrassment to himself as well as everyone around him.

    3. fakest artist ever. sucked a lot of dick to get where he is. getting into hollywood requires more dick sucking than rap, and rap requires a lot. ask baby. this dude got a plate of penis waiting for him backstage. such a heart throb. evil genius. market a gay rapper to women. they outdid themselves. jewish rich boy living the rapper life. hell of an actor. no doubt about it.

      1. youre sucha loser. every drake hater is just a closet fan. still checking everything this guy does out though huh? loser.

      1. “Take Care” comin’ Nov. 15

        “Tha Carter IV” PLATINUM PLUS… In Stores NOW!!!

        YMCMB=WINNING!(no Charlie Sheen)

        Hate love, but LOVE HATERS!!!

    4. lol @ that Bag Jacking skit, if that Geico caveman looking jew tried that shit in real life he’d probably get his ass beat. Punch him in his weak knees one time and he’s down for the count lmao. I’d pay to see Aubrey get two pieced by a child.

      Oh and why is that other guy biting Prince EA’s rap style? Not cool.

    5. that shit was so fuckin gay i couldnt even watch half of it.

      america is so dumbed down to even be entertained by that.

      1. chris rock did genius stand up. chris rock is a genius writer. jay pharoah does a impressions. shut the fuck up.

      2. @ Anon
        Uhh no, actually Wanda Sikes wrote most of Chris Rock’s material. Why all the animosity btw? Site is ridiculous

    6. everybody that called him a faggot straight fucking jealous he throw a mil in ya face you fucking faggot ass prolli suck 10 dicks ..undercover fags yallself

      1. Take a look at the second video.

        1:07. By the end of 1:11 you can see the little lady boy in him rear it’s ugly head.

        If your gaydar doesn’t go off. You might be gay.

    7. I use to not care for Drake, but I’m starting to not mind his music. I mean, he raps mutli-syllables, and he is introspective and vulnerable. He’s not ignorant like Wacka or Soldierboy. You can tell that he puts forth effort. And he can actually sings his own hooks. I understand the dislike for him, but I moved passed that. I mean, even everyone’s favorite rappers co-sign him (Slaughterhouse, Eminem, Jay, etc.). Still don’t care for Nikki or Wayne, though, so I think it’s not a good look for him to be with Young Money. That being said, I wouldn’t buy his album, but I don’t completely hate him.

      1. No one cares what you think, ever.

        Next time you think, keep it inside, where no one will have to hear or read your uneducated ramblings.

      2. @Swords uneducated? poop is only expressing opinions, you don’t need to exactly go to college for shit like that

      3. lol @ swordz

        I’m sure people love to hear your hateful sentiments everyday. I have two college degrees. You may not like my opinion, but I am certainly not uneducated.

      4. Swordz is like that angry kid on the playground. Hating on everyone else cause his mom didn’t cop him that pizza lunchable last friday.

    8. Drake’s going harder in his SNL sketches then he does in his real music. Bag Jackin Bitches is the jam, way better then that free spirit b.s.

    9. Dude’s enjyoing life with millions and thousands of hot bitches while his haters, who never had pussy are getting mad because nobody cares about their fucking existence.

    10. YMCMB is really doing their thing right now. Wayne is approaching double plat. Drake is on SNL. Nikki is on the cover of Cosmo. No label in the industry does as much to get their artists exposure,and cross branding.
      If you want to live in your mom’s basement, eating Taco Bell, and being praised for your “multies and similies” by a bunch of internet dorks, then that’s your business. But you can’t front on Wayne and YMCMB for making moves that benefit their artists.
      Good job, drake. Keep it pumpin’!

    11. Everybody who hates him seems to have gay tendencies and is scared of them getting stronger while listening to him.

    12. ISNT THIS WIGGER 15 MINUTES UP YET???NOPE!!!! WHITE AMERICA GONNA RIDE THIS NIGGA TILL THE WHEELS FALL OFF…JEWS WIN AGAIN

    13. lol at all these drake dick ridahs, get off his dick pussies. can you motherfuckers honestly say this dude can spit.

    14. Fuck nigga? All he’s got is acting skill, my boy. Can’t write shit, can’t flow shit, can’t be the shit.

      He’s all famous thanks to Weezy and Kangay Asst. And Jay-Z big lips shit overrated ass negro, of course.

      Nothing but a “HIP HOP” Soulja Boy.
