Drake may never be more buzzworthy than he is right now. After his new album, Nothing Was The Same, leaked last week, a simple glance at Twitter will find someone quoting lyrics from the album, which officially releases tomorrow. While there is no denying his popularity or his sneaker game, it's hard to really give the artist formerly known as Wheelchair Jimmy full credit as a tried and true sneakerhead. In fact, it seems he may be just playing the role to fit in with the cool kids. Then again, who doesn't want to pretend to be a sneakerhead right now? Shit, we do too. Fake it 'til you make it, bruh. Check out 10 Reasons Drake Is Not a Sneakerhead and let us know if you give Drizzy sneakerhead approval or the trying too hard stamp.
