Drake’s pretty cool, right? He’s one of those artists who seems to keep his chill in most situations and whenever, if ever, he pauses the cool guy act for a moment or two it’s always with an air of ‘but let’s not forget I’m one of the biggest people in hip hop, rap and pop right now’. But, we all know deep down that he lolled pretty hard at those Hotline bling memes. That Apple Music ad where he sang along to a Taylor Swift song was borderline funny. Drake can be #relatable when he wants to be.
Funnily enough, though, it took an occasion so far removed from our mere mortal non-global superstar experiences for Drake to finally confirm that he is, in fact, human and also prone to losing his shit. A little bit.
You see, over the weekend Drake was at the Billboard Music Awards. He casually won 13 Billboard Music Awards. He even beat Adele’s Billboard Music Awards record. So, Drake smashed it at the Billboard Music Awards. You have probably spotted those pictures of dear Drizzy clutching a selection of his hard-earned trophies and the eight golden microphones that couldn’t fit in his arms instead assembled at his feet. And did you see the smile? Take a look at that smile.
‘Nah, it means the world. It really does. You’re very iconic, we love you’, Drake told Celine, to the rhythm of an awkward double handshake he for some reason opted to give her at the same time.
‘Honestly, it’s really nice to meet you’, Celine interrupted coolly as her giant cloud sleeves shuddered at Drake’s still awkward double handshake. That is until Drake revealed that he’s ‘like a year away from a Celine tat, so…’. Drake pointed to an area on his left rib cage to indicate to Celine to indicate where her face would appear on his body. Not weird at all Drake. So unweird that Celine didn’t directly respond, but instead changed the conversation in a way you can only relate to when a guy tries to chat you up in a bar, you decide you’re not interested and instead dump your mate with him so that you can make a quick exit…
‘Have you met my son?’, Celine said. LOL. Let’s take that as code for ‘I’m rather uncomfortable with this conversation we’re having about having my reflection inked across your left pectoral muscle so I’m going to shut it down in the politest way I can possibly think of’.
Drake 0, Celine 1.
