Drake released the cover art for his new album “Views From the 6” on Sunday: a picture of him sitting atop the CN Tower. But if you’re thinking of doing the EdgeWalk to snap a selfie where Drake once sat, think again.
The CN Tower tweeted Monday that Toronto’s favourite rapper was photoshopped.
Proud Torontonian @Drake at the top of CN Tower with the help of some photoshop magic! #photshopped #notreallythere https://t.co/vBYe2L9FN8

And then the memes began, from Drake sitting on the restaurant from the Seinfeld television show to Drake sitting with Donald Trump on top of a Trump hotel.

Even city councillor Norm Kelly tweeted his support after a fan photoshopped Drake and Kelly on the CN Tower together.

The album will be released Friday, and Drake already tweeted his tour dates with two Toronto shows this summer -- July 31 and August 1 -- at the Air Canada Centre.
To promote his album and pump up fans, Drake handed out shirts with the “Views” logo at a popup shop on Queen Street West on Sunday. Later that night he released the album art on Twitter.
Fans are already selling the swag online, with t-shirts “given by Drake” going for $100 on Kijiji.
