Toronto-born rapper Aubrey Graham, better known as Drake, has had what some might call a successful career, but all his success and awards are nothing in the face of his latest accomplishment, the [Drake Shake iPhone app](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/drake-shake/id765748888?mt=8).

Created by OKFocus, the Drake Shake app lets you insert the 'Best I Ever Had' rapper in all of your moments, regardless of whether or not he's actually there. Whether your at home, the mall, the laundromat or giving a presentation on coding, all you have to do is take a photo or choose a photo from the app, [shake up your phone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shakr-cocktails) and instantly watch Drake appear in your photo.

The Drake Shake app automatically tags your photos with #DrakeShake making it easy to share the magical moment when Drake showed up at your Nana's 95th birthday.
