Drake has achieved the impossible — making the act of freshening up a pair of lint-laden pants a fashion fad. A few days after the rapper was caught on camera using a lint roller while sitting courtside at a Raptors game, the Toronto team handed out Drake-branded lint rollers to fans. Drake took to his Instagram account (@champagnepapi) and posted a photo of the rolling action, which he captioned: "Lint rollers on deck."
