Drake’s new hairstyle ignites speculation about his sexuality

Drake’s new hairstyle has sparked widespread speculation about his sexuality after the rapper posted a photo online

Drake has once again become the center of internet discussion after debuting a new hairstyle and posting a photo alongside former NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel, just one day before his 39th birthday.

The Toronto-born rapper shared the image on his Instagram Story on Thursday, October 23, sparking immediate reactions across social media.

In the photo, Drake appeared with a bohemian-style hairdo, posing casually with Manziel. Within hours, the picture went viral on X, with fans and critics dissecting everything from his appearance to his expression.

While some admired his bold fashion and grooming choices, others began speculating about his sexuality, suggesting that the rapper was “queerbaiting” or intentionally playing into internet narratives.

One user commented, “Drizzy the GOAT but he’s never beating the zesty allegations,” while another added, “Why he be doing his lips like that bruh.”

Others, however, took a more supportive tone, interpreting the post as a sign of self-assurance and freedom, with one fan writing, “Glad to see he’s living authentically and doesn’t care what anyone thinks.”

Drake has long used his hairstyles as part of his artistic expression. From the heart-shaped buzz cut during his Certified Lover Boy era to intricate braids featuring Nike swooshes and owl motifs, his looks often mirror the evolution of his music and persona.
