Drake

Grammy Award winning rapper, Drake, has taken the music industry be storm with his ability to be both street and sensitive.  Since gaining mean stream success in 2009, Drake has earned millions of fans all across the world, and people seem to be drawn to his energy.  Although he has won over countless hearts, many feel like Drake is, to put it simply, a joke.  He has often been criticized for his songs about women, which often paint him as lonely and desperate. However, Drake has faced all of the negative comments with a good attitude, and is well aware that not everybody agrees with his lyrical content.  With that being said, a Comedy Central Roast featuring the frontman of October’s Very Own, would certainly hit more than a few funny bones.

Beyoncé

Beyoncé is one of the most famous artists in the world.  However, although she is incredibly well-known, the 33-year-old Houston native has worked hard to guard her personal life.  As a result, some feel that Beyoncé is distant and stuck up, and even many of her closest fans often feel like they are lacking a personal connection to the star.  A Comedy Central Roast would give fans a chance to see that Beyoncé is, in fact, a human being, and show those who are still on the fence about her, that she isn’t too good to laugh at herself.
