Method again within the day, one wealthy dude in a Rolls-Royce pulled as much as one other wealthy dude in a Rolls-Royce and requested, “Pardon me, would you could have any Gray Poupon?” It was an ironic expression of performative wealth that rapidly developed into a form of popular culture touchstone, referenced and parodied many instances since. There’s even a spot on Wikipedia devoted to it.

Issues are just a little completely different lately. Rich white guys with dijon mustard and Phantoms are out, and rich hip-hop artists with Steam Decks and massive SUVs—particularly Drake and Lil Yachty—are in.

“Need it? Yeah, you need it?” Drake asks, holding the “transportable gaming console” out the window as the 2 automobiles slowly converge. When Lil Yachty replies within the affirmative, Drake says, “So then get it,” earlier than handing it off as easily as in the event that they’d been parked aspect by aspect on a quiet summer time day. Lil Yachty expresses his appreciation with a pleasant flip of the chook as he rolls up his window.

Just a few individuals within the Twitter replies discuss with the hand held as a Swap, however others correctly level out that it’s the truth is a Steam Deck, Valve’s hit transportable PC. Or at the least, it is a Steam Deck case—the brand is clearly seen within the clip.

As for what’s really contained in the case, I can’t say with any certainty. Possibly Drake was laughing like that as a result of he handed off the case and saved the Steam Deck for himself.

The interplay sparked a quick dialog on Reddit (opens in new tab), the place members of the Steam Deck neighborhood theorized about what kind of video games Drake performs:

Anime video games
Melty Blood behind the bogs with a Tupperware fightstick
Nekopara
He goes into desktop mode and opens Stake.com
Last Fantasy, made an entire track about it too
Positively Huniepop and Disney Dreamlight Valley. Many relationship sims hidden
Injustice. His favourite character is Deathstroke
Doki Doki Literature Membership. It’s been confirmed, belief me bro

As for why Drake was driving round with Lil Yachty’s Steam Deck within the first place, when he can presumably afford to purchase his personal if he actually needs one, that is still a thriller for now. Given Yachty’s prolonged center finger after the handoff, I must guess that shenanigans have been concerned.
