- The brand playfully suggested a Canadian rapper might be involved in Duo’s ‘demise.’

- Animated skits and memes poured in, with Duolingo’s mischievous charm leading the charge.
Drake, known for his significant presence in both music and social media, found himself the target of another playful jibe. This time, Duolingo joined in on the online mirth surrounding him.
Duolingo, a language-learning platform, stirred the pot with a humorous Instagram post. They jokingly announced the passing of their iconic mascot, Duo the Owl, suggesting a Canadian rapper might have something to do with it.
Speculators quickly pointed fingers at Drake, who has already been at the center of social media jokes ever since Kendrick Lamar’s high-profile wins. The playful accusation gained traction online, with fans and followers adding fuel to the fire.
Adding to the fun, Duolingo released more content across different social platforms. A notable tweet hinted at investigating ‘Jimmy,’ a nod to Drake’s character from his past acting days.
Even on TikTok, Duolingo kept the momentum going. Characters Lily and Zari from the app were animated in a skit where they solemnly carried away Duo’s ‘body,’ showcasing the app’s quirky humor.
Drake, amidst all this banter, remained silent. His recent challenges, from Lamar’s Grammy wins to the piñata incident, have kept him in the news. But Duolingo’s playful antics added a lighthearted twist.
The company’s reputation for having a creative spin on keeping users engaged with language lessons was evident. Their mischief with Drake was just another chapter in their strategy to remain relevant and entertaining online.
Drake might not be laughing, but Duolingo’s banter got everyone talking.
