The story behind the Drake meme
The "Drakeposting" meme originates from the music video of Drake's 2015 single "Hotline Bling."
In the video, Drake performs various dance moves, including a gesture where he appears to reject something with a hand wave, followed by a more approving gesture.
This sequence was first used as a reaction image on 4chan's /v/ board in late 2015. The term "Drakeposting" was coined on 4chan's /fit/ board in May 2015, and by early 2016, it had spread across multiple forums, becoming a popular format. Learn more on Know Your Meme.
