The source is a photograph leaked on May 15, 2013, taken during the filming of DJ Khaled's "No New Friends" video in Miami on May 15-16, 2013. Drake appears with Rick Ross and Lil Wayne, wearing Damani Dada attire. The image spread quickly on Twitter before the official clip aired on MTV Jams on June 9, 2013. Photoshop enthusiasts immediately remixed this unique image. They inserted the singer into various scenarios to exploit the contrast between his 90s look and his inclined posture. This practice lasted about a week after the photo leak.
