Drake, 37, gets roasted by fans over 'wild' new look in bathroom selfie

As someone who has followed Drake’s career since his days on Degrassi, it’s been quite a journey to witness him transform from a teenager with a dream into a global superstar with a unique sense of humor. His recent bathroom selfies, reminiscent of Ben Stiller’s Blue Steel from Zoolander, are just another example of his playful and light-hearted approach to life.


On Wednesday, Drake faced intense criticism following a vigorous response from fans over his recent bathroom selfie post.

In simple terms, a famous 37-year-old rapper shared a selfie taken in front of a bathroom mirror on his Instagram Stories during the early hours, sporting two thick braids styled as pigtails. This led to widespread teasing and ridicule on various social media platforms.

Despite the fact that the gender-neutral hairstyle has been backed by numerous supporters before, including those who admire Snoop Dogg for rocking it well, some critics found Drake’s braids to appear unrefined and juvenile in the In My Feelings music video.

This year, Drake’s image, serving as an inspiration for a peculiar Halloween costume, was shared on his Instagram Stories without any accompanying commentary. Fans found it tricky to respond directly due to this setup, but they managed to engage in a playful dialogue about the photo when it was re-shared elsewhere, most likely on other platforms such as X (formerly known as Twitter).

Several individuals attempted to locate comedic doppelgangers of the rapper’s recent hairstyle, with someone humorously suggesting he resembled “Seth Green from Airborne,” referencing the 1993 film about skating and comedy, which featured Jack Black as well.

They added a picture of Seth Green, taken from the comedy-drama, where he sported his long, red hair styled in pigtails, reminiscent of Pippi Longstocking’s iconic look.

In the photo, Drake sported a vibrant leather football jacket, but eagle-eyed fans spotted that beneath it he donned a ‘Canadian tuxedo’, meaning he wore both a denim shirt and jeans. Interestingly, the snapshot of Green also highlights him in a denim vest.

The same user also posted a gif of Jason Momoa in which the Aquaman star had his dark hair pulled into pigtails at the sides of his head.

One poster wondered why Drake looked ‘like that one girl from polar express’ while including a still from the computer-animated holiday Christmas film featuring a young girl with pigtails.

While some spectators jokingly criticized the performer’s attire, another individual justified his clothing choices as quite ordinary.

‘It’s that damn face he’s making and his Snoop Dogg braids,’ they clarified.

Several fans saw the issue as Drake’s age, and they suggested his look was childish or immature. 

‘He’s pushing 40 dressing like an 18 year old,’ one fan complained.

Sharing that at age 37 is quite adventurous!

Despite many critics continuing to zero in on Drake, some observers connected it back to his fierce lyrical feud with Kendrick Lamar. This heated exchange, seemingly concluded, was highlighted by the May release of Lamar’s powerful single “Not Like Us,” which spent two weeks, not consecutively, at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

One person commented, “It seems clear that Kendrick Lamar’s criticisms of his credibility were tough to take, yet let’s be reasonable here, he’s 37 years old.

But a minority of commenters seemed to dig Drake’s new look.

One individual expressed their affection for this style, albeit indirectly, by posting a gif featuring a woman concealing her identity under a scarf and oversized sunglasses, suggesting a hint of shyness or self-consciousness in expressing their admiration.

Drake might not have been too bothered by the teasing, since he’s often made light of his habit of taking goofy bathroom self-portraits in the past.

In August, he posted several humorous pictures that he took himself, where he playfully stuck out his lower lip as if to pose, a gesture reminiscent of Ben Stiller’s famous “Blue Steel” look from the movie Zoolander, which some fans humorously pointed out.

In his post, Drake wrote, ‘I’m unfamiliar with my own image or reflection.’ He went on to say that it’s something he was born with, and he’s often swayed by what he perceives.

This year, Drake faced speculation over his physical changes after rival rapper Rick Ross suggested that he underwent a nose job and Brazilian butt lift (BBL).

Despite a lack of substantial proof regarding the cosmetic surgeries, the detractors of the Hotline Bling rappers were swift to spread the gossip.

This year, the amusing internet banter culminated in Fashion Nova unveiling a Halloween costume inspired by the ongoing dispute.

The design includes a hoodie bearing the word ‘Papi’, which is reminiscent of Drake’s Instagram username @champagnepapi, accompanied by a pair of jeans showcasing an exaggerated, fake posterior protruding from the back, above the waistline.
