After going viral, the Drake-inspired ‘BBL Booty’ Halloween costume images were quietly removed from Fashion Nova’s website.
The Nova Men BBL Booty Butt Pad Costume Accessory – Nude, now slashed to $19.99 from its original $39.99, was made for anyone wanting to rock the exaggerated Brazilian butt lift look, real or not. When it first dropped, the model was a hilarious caricature of Drake in his For All The Dogs era, specifically his look for his “8 am in Charlotte” music video, complete with barrettes and a “Papi” sweatshirt. Beyond the butt pads, the rest of the costume is sold separately.
Although the Drake doppelgänger has since been removed, the internet never forgets. Screenshots of the now-vanished lookalike circulated on social media, leading internet users to have a field day in the comments.
“This is diabolical,” one user commented.

The costume is still available, but with just one review, giving it a lonely one-star rating.
