Who knew Drake was an outdoorsman with a propensity for fly fishing?

The Toronto rapper will be featured on the Fall cover of The Drake: For Those Who Fish — a magazine dedicated to the great sport of fly fishing. The Denver-based mag unveiled the rapper on their cover via Instagram. He’s standing in the middle of a river dripped in fishing gear with a rod in his hand as he looks on in concentration.


The caption that accompanies the said cover photo is a rundown of what’s to expect in their upcoming issue and it reads: “Headed your way: The Babine, Boise, albies, musky, Champagne Papi, carp, Owyhee Canyonlands; backcountry Sierra, smallmouth; Susitna, South Carolina, sea-run brown trout, and the Atlantic salmon legacy of Bill Taylor.”

The comments are a mix of people being shocked and pure amusement. “We finally got THE drake on the drake magazine. what a time to be alive,” read one comment. Another ask, “Hold on is that the boy?” Others had new nicknames with one referring to Drake as “Bass Master Drizzy” and another calling him, “The Trout Papi.”

There aren’t too many details available just yet, but you can either purchase the issue in their store once it drops or you get a subscription for just $38. Founded in Jackson Hole, Wyoming in 1998, The Drake publishes quarterly with the 2024 Summer and Spring issues having been released already. You can cop them in the shop for $15.

Toronto's First Class Fest Revamps Lineup After 'Heartwrenching' Last-Minute Artist Cancellations

OsamaSon will now play both days of the Toronto underground rap festival (Aug. 28-29), which has added Xaviersobased, ApolloRed1 and 1oneam to the bill after Nettspend, Che and more have dropped out. "It's been the craziest 24 hours of my life," co-founder Leo Strang tells Billboard Canada.

First Class Fest is facing some serious turbulence, but is stabilizing before liftoff.

Just days before the Toronto festival, which lands at the Bowl at Sobeys Stadium on Aug. 28-29, multiple artists dropped off the bill, including one of its biggest names. Nettspend, who recently notched his first Billboard Canadian Albums placement with Early Life Crisis in March, abruptly announced that he would "not be making it to Toronto" via his Instagram story on Tuesday night (Aug. 25).
