Drake's Face Pasted On Wheelchair Signs Across His Hometown

(Radio.com) If you live in Toronto then Drake is more than a rapper - he's both hometown hero and object of lighthearted ridicule. How could he not be? He's the most visible symbol of the city,a position he achieved by playing the role of Wheelchair Jimmy on Degrassi: The Next Generation.

The inherent absurdity of the Drake saga hasn't escaped journalist Lauren O'Neil, who has spent the last week placing photos of Drake's head on wheelchair signs all around the Northern metropolis.

"My boyfriend made the stickers last Wednesday and we've been 'Draking' the town ever since," she told Buzzfeed. "We just want to make people smile."

There's no word yet from Drake, but the famously self-deprecating Canadian rapper has made no secret about his television past - he's probably amused by the prank.

Check out a few examples of O'Neil's handiwork here.
