Meme lore

What is the Drake Hotline Bling meme?

The classic Drake Hotline Bling template presents an unwanted option in the upper panel and a preferred alternative in the lower panel. It is commonly used for quick comparisons, preferences, and punchlines.

Origin & history

The images come from Drake’s 2015 “Hotline Bling” music video and became a widely circulated internet reaction format in the mid-2010s. The exact origin of the first captioned versions is unclear.

The template uses two contrasting shots of Drake from the “Hotline Bling” video: a dismissive gesture in the upper image and an approving gesture in the lower image. Online users adapted the paired frames into a simple rejection-versus-approval format that spread broadly across social media and meme sites.
