Drake's jumping on livestreams with fans.

There are few rappers who’ve successfully integrated into streaming culture without becoming a streamer themselves. Drake, somehow, has made his proximity to streamers into a piece of his brand successfully, whether it’s having people like Adin Ross and Akademiks going to bat for him when the internet’s dragging his name through the mud or hanging out with people like BenDaDonn for Stake streams.

Most recently, Drake jumped on TikTok Live to surprise some of his die-hard supporters. While he’s clearly been rewarding those who never turned against him during hip-hop’s great civil war in 2024 with attention, his post-ICEMAN promo has seen him connecting with fans directly. In one clip spreading across social media, Drake expressed his appreciation for a fan named Abi who constantly shows him love online. “I just want to tell you thank you for always riding,” he told her. 

However, his online appearances didn’t end on TikTok. Somehow, someway, The Boy ended up in a Looksmaxxing showdown against someone on the Omoggle app, a video chat described as a “1v1 face-rating arena.” And while his opponent was clearly someone who was ecstatic to come face-to-face with one of his favorite artists, it turned out to be a tie. Drake, however, tried to spin it as a win for him.

It has been quite an active weekend for Drake outside of his online shenanigans. The rapper appeared at the Portugal vs. Croatia game and later met up with Cristiano Ronaldo. “@champagnepapi Nice to host us in your country bro," Ronaldo shared on Instagram alongside a photo of the two together. Meanwhile, Drake shared a photo of them on his page, insisting that they’re the same height while revealing that he got a signed Ronaldo jersey for Adonis.
