The 29-year-old opened SNL with a singing monologue, crooning about being turned into memes all the time on social media. At one point, Drizzy welcomes “Rihanna” to the stage, quickly throwing on a black wig as he did a spoof of RiRi’s smash-hit “Work.” From there, the Toronto CEO/rapper/actor played a a car rental salesperson (“Rental Car”), a game show broadcaster (“American Ninja Warrior”), a frustrated and perverted lead singer (“Dennis Walls & The Cookies”), an office assistant (“Office Boss”), a dreadlocked guy from Toronto named Jared (“Black Jeopardy”), and went to battle with various SNL cast members Pete Davidson, Leslie Jones, Aidy Bryant, and SNL executive producer Lorne Michaels in a hilarious parody of his Meek Mill-diss track “Back to Back” (Drake’s Beef).
On the music side, Drake took to the studio stage to perform the songs “One Dance” (introduced by comedian/actor Chris Rock) and “Hype,” both off the platinum-selling album VIEWS.
Drake’s television appearances continues next week with a visit to Ellen before preparing for the “Summer Sixteen” North American tour with Future kicking off in July.
