Drake Appears on the Cover of Fly Fishing Magazine ‘The Drake’
The Toronto rapper has decided to show off his more outdoorsy side.
Drake attends a game between the Houston Rockets and the Cleveland Cavaliers at Toyota Center on March 16, 2024 in Houston, Texas.
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.”
