<p>People are cutting up online over <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/oop-drake-shuts-down-womans-viral-flewed-out-kicked-out-story-sht-is-sad-out-here/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Drake</a> seemingly being a little too excited while bringing in the new year with Cuba Gooding Jr.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Cuba Gooding Jr. Was Cheek To Cheek With &#8216;Dominican Badness Sr.&#8217; Down In St. Barts</h3>
<p>The duo was partying it up in St. Barts (aka Saint Barthélemy) over the weekend, and Drake commemorated the occasion by uploading a series of photos to his Instagram Story.</p>
<p>One image showed Drake and Cuba posing cheek to cheek and seemingly having an all-around great time. Humorously, Drake played on Cuba&#8217;s name in the caption by writing, &#8220;Cuba Gooding Jr. and Dominican Badness Sr.&#8221;</p>

<p>As for Cuba, he <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm5RVuVpfuw/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">uploaded</a> a screenshot of the picture to his page and wrote, &#8220;Boyz n da boat!&#8221;</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Twitter Goes In On Drake: &#8216;Showing His Gums For Cuba Is Crazy&#8217;</h3>
<p>As is often the case with Drake&#8217;s <a href="https://www.capitalxtra.com/artists/drake/news/hilarious-memes-twitter-pose-mirror-selfie-ariana-grande-certified-lover-boy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">social media antics</a>, people found his upload to be humorously memeable. One user sparked a ton of conversation by reuploading the image and remarking, &#8220;two menaces of this level linking up is crazy.&#8221;</p>

<p>Drake&#8217;s new nickname for himself sparked some mixed reactions.</p>

<p>Others shared they &#8220;didn&#8217;t know Cuba was walking free&#8221; while imploring women to &#8220;stay safe&#8221;, which was an apparent reference to Cuba pleading guilty to <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/cuba-gooding-jr-pleads-guilty-to-forcible-touching-lands-plea-deal-to-avoid-jail-time/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">forcible touching</a> last year.</p>

<p>People also couldn&#8217;t get past the fact that Drake was beaming so hard that his gums were on full display.</p>

<p><amp-twitter data-tweetid="1610074383640395776" layout="responsive" width="600" height="480"></amp-twitter></p>
<p>The fact that their faces were touching didn&#8217;t go unnoticed.</p>

<p><amp-twitter data-tweetid="1610110958546096129" layout="responsive" width="600" height="480"></amp-twitter></p>
<p>Someone went as far as to provide an alt text for the image to exemplify its absurdity.</p>

<p>Another user shared a theory she had about how the interaction may have gone.</p>

<p>Ultimately, it was agreed that the meet-up was unexpected, and some speculated it may be a sign (or omen) of what 2023 has in store.</p>

<p>What do you think about the photo of Drake and Cuba Gooding Jr.? Also, do you think &#8220;Dominican Badness Sr.&#8221; will stick as a new nickname for the rapper?</p>
