Consider “Fake Drake” among the chosen few who went straight to the source to heap praise upon Drake and his Honestly, Nevermind album.
Izzy Drake, who had Drizzy’s stamp of approval last year when he first began showing up in Miami clubs impersonating the Toronto rapper, got on Instagram Friday (June 17) to not only show love to Drake’s new album but tell it to the man himself.
“Yo, that album was hard, bro. Congratulations on the drop,” Izzy told Drake, before later hinting the two were working on music together.
Izzy’s career as “Fake Drake” began after the Toronto native was spotted at Club LIV in Miami, appearing to be an exact doppelganger of Drizzy during his Certified Lover Boy era, complete with a heart outline edged into his hair. After being spotlighted on social media, his career as a celebrity impersonator took off, with people willing to pay him up to $5,000 or more for club appearances and performances.
“I’m touring, I’ve got some music events I gotta show up to,” he told No Jumper last November. “People DM me like, ‘Hey, you wanna come to my event because I can’t pay Drake – he’s too expensive. I’ll pay you $5,000.’ $5,000 just to show up. They pay my Airbnb, they pay the flight, they hook it all up.”
J. Cole, Jay Electronica, Soulja Boy & More React To Drake’s ‘Honestly, Nevermind’ Album
Meanwhile, Drake’s peers across the spectrum have offered differing opinions on the house-centric album, from Questlove of The Roots proclaiming the project to be “a gift” for DJs, Charlamange Tha God calling it “elevator music” and some of his celeb fans joking of how the album title fits the subject matter.
Count J. Cole and Jay Electronica among those who appreciate the creative risk Drake took with Honestly, Nevermind. In separate posts on social media, Cole proclaimed the album to be “phenomenal” while playing “Liability” while Jay Elect called the album “jammin.”
How lame has hip hop become
How lame has hip hop become
It’s like high school when the corniest mofos that nobody ever liked suddenly become the coolest kids on the planet overnight like WTF. I’m not falling in with this BS is the same reaction I had then and now to the cRappers in This Hip Hop Era (More Like Error)
Get it together clone, real drake got braids now.
There’s a fake drake, dj khaled, lil durk etc… never has there been a time when people didn’t want to be their real selves.
There was a fake NBA YoungBoy got murked. They’re confused and thought he was the real thing. Sometimes being a fake doesn’t always work out in some cases.
Fakeness prospers while realness falters. This generation is doomed.
“Hey , I look really gay… Your new album sounds pretty gay too… congratulations, we officially match now.”
Just a warning that soundscan is planning to halve the reported sales for drake’s latest album. It is on track for 450k but sounds can is planning to account for only 210-230k of them.
Warning, You’re an obsessed groupie with no life who’s only purpose of existence is to fluff Drake’s balls. Nobody cares about his numbers cuz he’s a corporate sponsored tool to control the masses. Also, he’s gonna sell this album mainly cuz the LBGTQ Community (which you’re a part of) along with the Europeans loves house music. Lastly,it’s Pride Month, With no other big LBGTQ artist dropping, he’s got their support.
1. I’m a lady actually. I’m bisexual.
2. Drake sells to everyone
No,he doesn’t cuz normal emotionally stable people don’t listen to Drake..and..you’re a transgender woman so of course you’re going be bi and like both sexes since you have both parts.
Drake makes music for low esteemed mentally unstable emotional invalids. No you’re a transgender woman who’s bi… there’s a difference.
Isn’t Drake Fake Drake? Wouldn’t this guy somehow be the “realer” Drake just because he is American and isn’t appropriating out culture and slang?
They’re both caricatures of the lamest,gayest, and unrealistic parts of Hip hop culture.
Drakes are gay
Drake got the Rainbow Brigade riding his wave now during their month so it just turned into a Tsunami of Whiny, Emotional Moaning, Techno Based Sleep Inducing Hell lol. Y’all wanted more Drake and thou shall receive it. Next, he’s probably going to make a Jazz Album with autotune and no live instruments.
Gayest Of All Time
Can’t believe Drake made a gay porno music soundtrack album. What a sellout.
lol dude looks nothing like Drake
That’s what I said
Does this cornball know that Drake’s moved on. He got on braids now. You look nothing like him. Move on. End of business. Hope you enjoyed your 15 minutes of picking up them 5k checks from those drunken bars. And did he say he was working on some new music? Like is this how it works? What a fraud!!!
