Published on July 17, 2019, a post by Toronto native and 'Six God' Drake on his Instagram page has sparked a viral challenge. In the caption, he wrote, 'Best caption wins OVO tickets.'
Drake was trading in OVO festival tickets for anyone who could roast him hard enough to catch his attention. The comments section went wild, with people throwing in heavy jabs at the rapper.
However, fans were left wondering what app Drake used to make himself look slightly older. The answer lies in the world of digital age manipulation, a common occurrence in Hollywood movies.
Actors like Samuel L. Jackson and Will Smith have used de-ageing technology in their films, with Jackson reprise his role as Nick Fury in 'Captain Marvel' and Smith starring in 'Gemini Man' where he plays an assassin fighting a younger version of himself.
But what's more accessible to the public? There's an app called 'Faceapp' where you can download it and digitally enhance yourself to look older, younger, and more.
Drake isn't the only rapper to try and mess around with the app. It all started when someone went online and started ageing a lot of celebrities, including Gordon Ramsay, Avengers actors, rappers, reality TV stars, and athletes. It's ended up becoming the Face app challenge.
Now, you can get the app from the app or play store and play around with your age to see if you'll end up looking as good as you think you will in the future.
