A moment of silence for the beautiful bearded man that used to be, Aubrey Graham.
The Canadian-born rapper cut off his beard because he’s hosting Saturday Night Live this week, and apparently NBC is in the business of heart-breaking.
Drake posted a now-deleted photo of him sans-beard on Instagram. He was likely unprepared to commit to the world with this truth but these screenshots were.

The most important question posed on this day.
what SNL sketch could possibly require Drake to shave his beard????? I better be on the floor, crying laughing, barely breathing.

Farewell Champagne Papi, you’ll always be in our hearts.
The beard is gone, so your title is gone. Please change your IG name to Wheelchair Jimmy, immediately. Thanks – Management @Drake
