Drake has long been the subject of many a viral meme, and now he’s just re-created one of his most infamous ones.
The meme dates from the University of Kentucky in 2014. The 6 God was photographed clothed in full UK basketball warmup gear, sitting with team members in the film room. Drizzy recreated the picture on Monday (March 11) and posted it to his Instagram.
“Oh hell nah all my brothers left me [three laughing face emojis],” he wrote in the caption of a photo of himself sitting in the exact same seat a decade later, but solo.
Drizzy’s original photo got adapted into a “blud” meme in 2022, when “who invited my man blud,” a phrase used to make fun of people trying too hard to be part of a group, was superimposed onto the picture.
Check out the original and recreated photos, plus the 2022 meme, below.

Meanwhile, Drake has been nursing a somewhat lighter wallet from another sporting event thanks to the loss of his bet on the Anthony Joshua vs. Francis Ngannou fight, on which Drizzy bet more than $600,000.
Joshua won the fight, which happened on Friday (March 9), by knocking out Ngannou in the second round.
As a result, the 6 God — who had bet $615,000 on Ngannou — lost all his money.
Had the bet panned out in his favor, though, Drake would have taken home a handsome $1.9 million payday.
On Friday (March 8) Drake shared a screenshot of his bet on the fight.
The photo documents that he’d bet $615,000 on Ngannou to win, even though Joshua was a heavy favorite. So heavy, in fact, that the rapper stood to make 3.1 times his money if Ngannou won.
“Betting on a scary man,” Drake captioned his post….
