Drake has embraced his reputation for dramatic selfies, turning it into a source of humor with his latest Instagram post, much to the amusement of fans and critics alike.
On Wednesday night, after a brief break from social media, the rapper returned to Instagram to share a series of photos that cleverly poke fun at his own image.

The first photo shows Drake striking his signature exaggerated selfie pose in front of a mirror. The real twist, however, comes in the next two images: one featuring gaming YouTuber Duke Dennis and another of rapper-turned-podcaster Joe Budden, both mimicking similarly exaggerated expressions. These playful inclusions are a humorous nod to the men Drake jokingly credits with “influencing” his selfie style.
Drake’s caption adds to the light-hearted tone: “I’m not aware of my picture or mirror face. It’s a curse from birth and I’m influenced by what I see.” The appearance of Dennis and Budden is particularly surprising, given the history of tension between Budden and Drake. However, Budden recently praised Drake’s new music, leading to speculation that this post could hint at a truce.
Whether it’s a sign of reconciliation or just a playful dig, Drake’s post has certainly gotten people talking online.
