The Internet reacts to Drake's 'Nothing Was the Same' cover art

Last night Drake announced that he’d delayed the release of Nothing Was the Same by one week, offering up the album’s cover art as a hilarious, misguided consolation. The reaction so far has been hilarious.

The first thing we spotted last night through all the laughter and confusion was this hilarious parody by @itsthereal:
