Seriously though, we love that Drizzy doesn’t take himself too seriously and is always down to play along, even at his own expense… just as long as things don’t go too far.
Which brings us to TravQue, whose IMDb profile states is an actor “best known on social media for his comedic antics.” Which he outrightly exemplified on both Instagram and TikTok when he pulled an apparent prank on Drake. Whether Drake was in on it or not, that’s to be determined.
As seen in the clip, Drake and TravQue both found themselves at the same undisclosed and rather empty looking bar. With his phone in hand, recording the whole thing with the flash on (the disrespect). TravQue bombards the bartender loudly ordering “2,000 cases of Virginia Black” (Drake’s whiskey brand), “40 cases of Bumbu” (Lil Wayne’s rum brand) and three cases of tequila, all on Drake’s tab btw.
After antagonizing both the bartender and Drake by spitting some bars of “Nonstop,” “Greece,” and “What’s Next?” and then referring to Drizzy 6 God, saying "You know who this is, right? This is Drake! You know who this is? This is Toronto himself. The 6 God. This is ‘b**** callin my phone like I'm locked up, nonstop'."
Drake clearly not having any of it tells TravQue to “relax bro.” Which of course leads TravQue to do the exact opposite. So what does our big strong Canadian man do next? He went for the phone while pushing the comedian away, thus concluding the prank.
So as we were put on this earth to keep it real, skeptical and cute, this particular instance calls for the second out of the three. So was Drake in on it or nah?
For one, let’s not forget, Drake was an actor first, and rapper second. And if you're weird and didn’t know that, all you need to do is Youtube Jimmy Brooks Degrassi clips, and or the 2021 Super Bowl State Farm commercial for proof.
And although Drake didn’t share the instantly viral clip, fans should go ahead and note TravQue’s résumé (not to mention lack of swarming security, proper social distancing and mask wearing) as an indicator the encounter was a skit.
Thirdly, when conducting our hard hitting research we did peep that Champagnepapi follows TravQue on IG, but maybe that happened once the prank was all said and done, before it went public y’know?
Guess we’ll never know for sure, either way, in on the joke or not, we appreciate Drizzy’s commitment to entertain us. But, if we’re keeping it 100, what we’re really interested in is that album tho. Where’s it at Drake? We’d like a large case of Certified Lover Boy please and thank you.
