If your mom asks you about Drake during your weekend Skype session, here’s why: Today, Drizzy himself appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, where he supported his forthcoming LP Nothing Was The Same with a performance of his new love song, “Hold On, We’re Going Home”.



Prior to the performance, Ellen put him through the ringer with a game called “Who Has Drake Dated?”. The look of discomfort on his face is funny in itself, but when Ellen asks him about “Kim Kardashian,” and he responds, “Come on,” oh man. Kudos, Ellen. Kudos.

Replay the whole thing below.

FYI: The two are hardly strangers, as October’s Very Own once performed on the Ellen stage back in 2011 alongside Jamie Foxx. Also, Drake name drops DeGeneres on the NWTS opener “Tuscan Leather”: “Yeah, Tom Ford Tuscan Leather smelling like a brick / Degenerates, but even Ellen love our shit.” Judging by her enthusiasm, here, she sure does love his shit.

Nothing Was the Same arrives September 24th.
