Cuba Gooding Jr. Was Cheek To Cheek With ‘Dominican Badness Sr.’ Down In St. Barts
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.
One image showed Drake and Cuba posing cheek to cheek and seemingly having an all-around great time. Humorously, Drake played on Cuba’s name in the caption by writing, “Cuba Gooding Jr. and Dominican Badness Sr.”

Drake took a picture w Cuba Gooding Jr. & referred to himself in the caption as “Dominican Badness Sr.” I will always love his music but my lust for him has rapidly declined the last few months

Drake posting a selfie with Cuba Gooding Jr and calling himself ‘Dominican Badness Sr’ is top 5

Others shared they “didn’t know Cuba was walking free” while imploring women to “stay safe”, which was an apparent reference to Cuba pleading guilty to forcible touching last year.
Drake is a groupie for everyone. I didn’t know Cuba Gooding Jr. was walking free. https://t.co/pKkWoOOOV2

People also couldn’t get past the fact that Drake was beaming so hard that his gums were on full display.

Drake & Cuba Gooding JR cheek to cheek to take a pic was insane

Someone went as far as to provide an alt text for the image to exemplify its absurdity.
Pic: Cuba Gooding Jr. and Drake, who unfortunately calls himself Dominican Badness Sr. on his caption. The two men are beaming, cheek to cheek. Cuba smirks. Drake’s eyes are nearly closed due to his 15-tooth grin. He’s holding up 3 fingers and wearing chains of many diamonds. https://t.co/VjJev36jZY

Another user shared a theory she had about how the interaction may have gone.
We know how this went. Cuba drank too much, told too much, talked too close to Drake's face. Drake gave him one of the accessories he was wearing, then put his hand to his heart and vowed to always be there for Cuba.
Drake will drop a track called "Cuba on the Yacht" in April. https://t.co/t8z7xTna7T

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.

What do you think about the photo of Drake and Cuba Gooding Jr.? Also, do you think “Dominican Badness Sr.” will stick as a new nickname for the rapper?
