Drake Shaved Off His Beard And No One Is OK

Just hold on, we're going.. a little bonkers over Drake's new face. 

The whiskey-maker and "Hotline Bling" singer took care (read: got rid of) his facial hair Friday, apparently for his upcoming "Saturday Night Live" hosting/musical guest duties on May 14.

In a since-deleted Instagram, Drake showed off a baby-smooth face along with the caption "Beard making an epic come back in 2 weeks...only for you @nbcsnl."

Yes, it's hair and yes, it will grow back, but try telling that to the hoards of Twitter users expressed their shock, disappointment and dismay upon hearing (or seeing) the news. 

If you don't think beards are just masculine contouring, imagine watching the “Hotline Bling” with a beardless Drake.

Drake shaving his beard for SNL of all things feels like a decision that wasn't thought through.

While we all collectively set our calendars for two weeks from now in hopes of putting this whole thing behind us, the anticipation of finding out why Drake would do such a drastic thing is palpable. 

Perhaps, as "hinted" in his promos with Leslie Jones, he will, in fact, let her spank him like a baby? Guess we'll all have to watch Saturday night to find out.
