Well darn, it looks the line for Trill Burgers is getting even longer because the “Champagne Papi,” Drake, and his entourage caused quite a stir when visiting Bun B’s new brick-and-mortar location sensation.

An Instagram video posted Monday shows Drake walking in all smiles, then embracing both Bernard “Bun B” Freeman and Rap-a-Lot Records CEO James Prince with bear hugs.

The IG video, appropriately soundtracked “Underground Kings,” had Drake’s melodic vocals blazing “do it for the city” in the chorus.

After Drake sank his teeth into it, he said, like his hit song, it was the “best I ever had.”

From an “Underground King,” alongside the dearly-departed Pimp C, to “Mr. RodeoHouston” and now, literally, the “King of Buns,” we are all proud of Bun B and his well-deserved success.

As a side note: I’ve yet to try a Trill Burger due to the extreme Houston heat and long lines, but I’m sure my day is coming soon. I’ll let you know when I do…..
