This phrase, popularized by streamer Adin Ross, quickly took the internet by storm, spawning countless memes, TikTok edits, and exaggerated depictions of Drake's character. By adopting this viral moniker for his tour, Drake not only embraces the internet culture that has propelled his career but also adds a layer of humor and self-awareness to his public persona.
