WATCH: Drake laments getting memed in SNL opening monologue

Drake talked about how upset he was at all the memes making fun of him while he hosted this week’s Saturday Night Live.

The Torontophile rapper has joined the exclusive “Saturday Night Live” two timers club while hosting and performing on the late-night show for the second time. (His first time was in Jan. 2014.)

First, he called out to fellow Torontians before telling Americans “I know what you’re thinking but, no, you cannot move in with me if Trump wins,” in his opening monologue.

He then dwelled on the multitude of memes of him floating around on the Internet and took out his frustration by singing a new song about it.

After a direct comparison between the two, Drake is forced to concede after Pharaoh delivers a dead on impression.
