People are laughing over Drake's 'corny' Obama tribute on Instagram

That's Drake's beard. On Obama's face.

With President Barack Obama saying his goodbyes on Tuesday night, it's the perfect time for people to reflect on his eight years as commander-in-chief.

While some are happily tweeting pithy quotes from his speech in Chicago, Canadian rapper Drake had some #custom Instagram content up his sleeve.

"As a Canadian that calls America home for part of the year I will always carry your words and the memory of your time in office with me as inspiration. Big up yaself O," Drake wrote.

While the message is admittedly quite sweet, people can't help but think the Photoshop job is kinda cheesy.

You just keep doing you, Drake.
