Drake made every fan’s day by dropping Certified Lover Boy overnight. With 21 tracks, fans and celebrities could not stop talking about Drake’s new album, many celebrating the release with him on social media. This includes the golf world, numerous athletes reacting to the album in their own style.
This includes Harold Varner III and Matt Fitzpatrick, who seemed to have their own conversation on Twitter. Fitzpatrick tweeted about Certified Lover Boy on his own, comparing it to Kanye West’s album Donda, which was released in late August. Looking at his tweet, it looks like the 27-year-old preferred Kanye West’s work over Drake’s new release.

Did Harold Varner III agree with Matt Fitzpatrick?
Varner did not seem to agree with Fitzpatrick’s claim. He responded with three facepalm emojis, which could mean that he was not in line with what the other thought. Fans gave their own opinions as well, both sides receiving some feedback. “I feel like clb fell short for drake standards. Out of 20 tracks, there might be 2 bangers,” one fan wrote, adding that they expected more. Others laughed in response.

Fitzpatrick’s tweet also had some interesting responses, one fan positive that this tweet will now earn the US the Ryder Cup win. Most just agreed with the golfer.
Like most albums, Certified Lover Boy has garnered some criticism as well. While many loved the lyrics and songs, some were expecting a slightly different album from Drake this time.

Drake mentions Tiger Woods in a lyric
Drake chose to include golf in his album with a Tiger Woods mention, who has been missing in action since his accident earlier this year. Naturally, fans were excited at the small tribute, most of them missing Woods and his presence at events. While Drake has name-dropped athletes like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kawhi Leonard, Woods’ verse was a happy surprise.
"Think I'm Tiger Woods, the way I'm teed off of 17."
