Drake roasts himself + Rihanna in epic SNL performance

He's more than just a meme...

Drake well and truly ridiculed himself and Rihanna - on Saturday Night Live he performed, 'More Than a Meme' a new song that mocks the meme-fication of his life, and he even donned a wig for an on-point Rihanna impersonation.

The new, and completely unofficial, track was used to explain how Drake knows about all those memes, and that it has hit him hard.

Drake sang, "I'm not just a picture, I have feeling too / Yeah, how would it feel if it happened to you?" as a number of memes - including 'Tiny Drake' and 'ET Drake' popped up on the screen. You can in fact make your own 'Tiny Drake' album cover here.

After delivering some hurt-filled verses including the excellent, "Tryin' to hide my reaction as I read the caption", Drake then announced, "Rihanna's in the house" - which was not entirely the case.

Cue Drake running on stage with a pretty low-budget wig. Here's a preview, of the quite scarily convincing Drake.

After returning, not quite the same, he announced that he'd perform 'More Than a Meme' part two, which was in fact a cover version of Rihanna's 'Work'.

Recently Drake knocked 50 Cent off the top-five hip-hop rich list.
