Hip Hop artist, record label owner, and 'Certified Lover Boy' Aubrey "Drake" is no stranger to letting people know about his influence over music and the internet. In the past, he has been known to pioneer trends from dances like the 'Toosie Slide' to phrases like 'Gods Plan'. Recently, on Instagram, Drake revealed that he adopts a specific look influenced by examples from other celebrities.

One of the examples he used was the classic photo of AMP member Duke Dennis, staring at a mirror, rubbing his hands together while wearing a Fendi head wrap. You could do a Google Image search for 'Duke Dennis' and this particular photo would pop up on the first page. Essentially, this is an image closely associated with Duke, and for many their first exposure to the streamer.

The caption to the post read:

"I’m not aware of my picture or mirror face. It’s a curse from birth and I’m influenced by what I see".

Drama Alert reported the incident on X, and fans reacted to Duke's photo on the second slide. Some, like @Rez106 and @dara_lajuwomi wondered what the post meant, considering the cryptic caption:

"What is the meaning of this 🤔"
"Why would he do that?"

Others, like @bkclips5, questioned Duke Dennis' presence in the post:

"What’s the point of posting Duke?"

@lexlowlit mentioned that Drake posting something like this was unexpected:

"So random 🤣"

This type of lighthearted approach to social media isn't uncommon for Drake and some users like @shyrodc and @vakugu found it funny that the artist would post Duke:

"Drake is so unserious bro 😭"
"Why does drake have a random stock image of Duke Dennis 😭😭"

Overall, Drake's Instagram post left fans both puzzled and amused.


Duke Dennis responds to Drake posting his picture

Drake posted a slideshow of himself, posing with his signature pout, along with an old photo of media personality, Joe Budden and, of course, Twitch streamer, Duke Dennis.

On seeing this, Duke commented on the post, finding it hilarious. This led to a back-and-forth between the rapper and Dennis.

As reported by Drama Alert above, Drake responded to Duke by saying his get-up in the image was outrageous:

"Fendi head wrap having someone else take the pic in the mirror is wild, you a wild boy Duke".

Duke responded to this, calling Drake out:

"You got a few pictures that give off the same vibe 😂"

In other news, Duke criticizes Rolling Stone for excluding IShowSpeed from their top content creators of the year list.
