Drake was seen at Houston's Area 29 strip club, once again living his lyrics — this time by dispensing hugs as party favors. Yes, everyone received a hug, including Gigi, whom he name-checked in his song, Gimme a Hug.
If there's one thing about the rapper, it's that he's gonna make it a poem — even at the strip club. The dude wasn't just in the building; he was on a hug tour, making Area 29 a certified 'Certified Lover Boy' event. Fans couldn't get it, but Drake and hugs? That's the brand!
In the now-trending slow-mo video, the Certified Lover Boy hugs every single person in Area 29, as Gimme a Hug plays in the background. It was less of a club and more of a hug-you-forever farewell tour — Drake edition. As soon as the video went viral, someone posted on X:
"Drake really out here turning lyrics into real-life side quests"
One fan on X captured it well, claiming that the singer was turning lyrics into actual real-life side quests — and they're not even wrong. His next album might come with a to-do list, and XP points if this keeps going.
Before we go into the madness of fan reactions, let's just take a moment to admire how the Laugh Now Cry Later singer hugging everyone in Area 29 made the internet a comedy festival. The slow-mo, the music, the hugs — it was meme fuel at its finest, and fans didn't waste zero time making it content.
From side quest jokes to crying fits over Gigi's hug, the timeline was in shambles — in the best way. Let's observe how the internet responded to the rapper's Hug Tour 2025.
