Drakeposting

The "Drakeposting" meme originates from a screenshot of Drake's "Hotline Bling" music video, released in January 2016. This meme quickly spread across various forums on 4chan, especially /mu/, /int/, /v/, and /g/, where it was mentioned in hundreds of discussion threads between January and March 2016. Its popularity on 4chan later extended to Sheeky Forum and the /r/4chan section of Reddit.

On January 30, 2016, Sheeky Forum user TechHater posted a Q&A thread questioning the popularity of Drakeposting. On February 2, Reddit user Bobbistef mentioned a new parody meme, and on February 22, Sheeky Forum user Need_TLC initiated a poll centered on Drake's songs. These activities contributed significantly to the spread of the meme.

On December 15, 2016, Instagram user @yisucrist posted a modified version of Drake's "Don't Like/Like" parody with a cat's head, gaining immense popularity. Twitter user @DustyFotter later posted another version featuring a cat overlay on Drake's face, while a keyboard variation gained traction on Reddit's /r/memes subreddit. Drakeposting has since evolved into various forms of parody memes through such modifications.
