“He can keep it” — fans poke fun as Drake says he’s working on a new solo album

Drake might’ve just dropped the calmest bombshell on social media: he’s working on a new solo album. In classic Drizzy fashion, the announcement came without too much noise, but the internet? Oh, the internet made noise.

Instead of applause or excitement, what Drake got was a barrage of brutally funny reactions. And we’re not just talking mild teasing fans (and some certified haters) wasted no time dragging the idea through meme territory.

Drake’s new solo album? Fans said: no features, no interest

When Drake quietly revealed he was cooking up a new solo project, it should've been a moment of hype. After all, this is the same guy who gave us Take Care, Nothing Was the Same, and those 4 AM vibes we didn’t ask for but secretly needed.

But following his recent beef with Kendrick Lamar, a lyrical heavyweight match, the crowd’s not exactly rushing to hear what he’s got next. The vibe? Not so much “Certified Lover Boy” as it is “Certified Let It Go, Bro.”

Drake said it was a solo album, and the internet heard: solo, as in you might be the only one listening.

So what sparked the wave of sass? A subtle announcement from Drake that he’s back in the studio, working on a solo project. No tracklist. No features. Just a heads-up.

All fans needed to do was open the group chat and roast like it was Thanksgiving dinner.

People clearly haven’t forgotten the recent rap drama or how it aged him a decade in a week, according to Twitter (now X). The moment felt less like an announcement and more like someone showing up to the party long after the lights are on and the music’s off.

The reactions were savagely funny

A user brought the mood in bluntly:

“He can keep it.”

Four words. No notes. Just vibes and those vibes are done with albums.

Another chimed in with what could only be described as pure digital shade:

“No one likes Drake anymore.”

The type of comment you can feel in your soul even if you're just an innocent bystander scrolling for memes.

One user wasn’t afraid to poke at the album's potential audience size:

“He will only have a solo listener too haha.”

Solo album, solo listener. Ouch.

Someone else simply didn’t care and made that very clear:

“Who cares.”

Then came the aging comments. The battle scars from that Kendrick clash are apparently visible:

“Bro needs to get some rest, he aged 10 years after the beef.”

From rapper to reluctant elder statesman in under a month. That’s what a good diss track can do.

So, is anyone excited?

Look, some fans are definitely still out there, lighting candles and hoping for an emotional banger. But judging by this week’s roast session, the general internet mood is somewhere between “do not disturb” and “unsubscribe.”

Whether the new album ends up being a hit or not, one thing’s for sure: Drake better bring more than moody lighting and soft piano loops this time. The internet’s not waiting for another “Marvins Room” era unless he’s got a really good reason.

Until then, he can keep it.
