Drake Gets Aaliyah Tattoo On His Back

    Drake hasn’t been shy about his affinity for Aaliyah in the past, but now he’s taken his fandom to another level.

    HipHopSince1987.com has provided a picture of the Toronto emcee with a tattoo of Aaliyah’s face on his back as he plays a round of tennis.

    Drake previously wrote a letter addressing the late singer:

    “Dear Dana,” he began, using her middle name. “I’ve never lost a parent, a friend, or a lover but I will never forget this day for the rest of my life. I remember getting the news that you had passed and it connected with my heart like a clean shot from Muhammad Ali. I was crushed.”

    Below is the image of Drake with the tattoo, seen on the far right:

    1. tattoos seem pointless in my opinion (then again what do I know), plus that ink seeps into your system. thanks celebrities!

    2. He really doesn’t do himself justice with removing the homosexual and soft anecdotes and rhetoric, does he?

      Let the derogatory statements begin… NOW! LOL

      Yep. And his stans actually make excuse for and condone this type of foolishness. Just a damn shame.

    4. drake i love your music man..to me your not hip hop but your one of if not the best in rnb right now…but this is just a female move….smh…really?…your acting like a tough guy now and you get an aaliyah tat?….damn

    6. Drizzy is da realest since Bigge and Pac. hes a much betta MC den KRS-One, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, GZA, Nas…. hes a lyrical monsta. Take Care is a modern classic. swag

      1. LOOL drake is cool but thats dick riding beyond anything. lol i hope u was joking.. if u were, Good joke, good joke!

    7. WHAT A BITCH HE IS> I no she great i could picture a girl niki getting it but whatQ! he aint even a rapper he a pop singer. word. shit is crazy right now people like drake is rap. what.

    8. I could see a dude getting a Wu-tang tatto. the W. But man this guy right here aint no rapper. makes me a little sick knowing people think he rap. he is a pop singer. And he fake. aint ever even seen the hood or less then 20 g in his bank since he was born.

    9. This is what I don’t get about this clown, first he does a song requesting his fans to tattoo his name on them as a sign of loyalty and respect.

      Then he threatens the tattoo artist that makes that possible when a fan takes his advice literally. Now he’s gone and just got a tattoo of Aaliyah on his back.

      Super backpedalling, he might as well have just said “I’m gonna fuck you up whoever who did this but after I get mine done first”

      1. he only threatened the tattoo artist cause he called him the softest wackest goof nuggest r&b singer in the game

      1. You could hate on drake all you want but dont put canada up in there, the only difference from us and you fucken americans is that we get money and you stay broke in the hood. Came up to TDOT and will show you whats up

      2. Don’t forget that most of your big cities are like disney world compared to are cities. Edmonton has the most crime in canada and is nothing like Detroit,baltimore,camden,etc

    11. Y’all dicks are talkin smack because of what, Aaliyah tattoo? Smh…cut the young dude some slack,he jux showing respect to someone he liked so dearly…at least the meaning is so clear unlike some of y’all meaningless tats on your butt and shoulders…LMADO X_X

    12. ITS THE MANS BODY , WHO DO YOU GUYS CARE ? IM NOT WORRIED ABOUT ANOTHER MAN TATOOING A LEGENDARY SINGER ON HIS BODY.

      ESPECIALLY AALIYAH.

    13. Unless you were involved with Aaliyah’s life as a family member, friend, boyfriend or just someone close to her, then you should not be wearing a tat of her. This guy is a fucking idiot.

    14. dont relly care about the tat starting to dislike drake over the route he has takin pop hip hop doesnt belong herer

      AND PEOPLE AT LEAST IT WASNT ON HIS FACE!!!!!!!!!!

    15. The guy who tatted it is a fucking asshole, though. I will tell you that. I dont fuck with that guy. Fuck you to that tat artist by the way, because youre an asshole, for real. And you should lose your job, and you shouldnt do tattoos again. I dont fuck with you, and if I ever see you, Ill fuck you up.

    16. DIDNT HE JUST TRIP BUCZ SOMEBODY GOTTA TATTOO ON THEIR FIVEHEAD OF HIS NAME SO HOW U GONE GET A TATTOO I KNOW WHERE HE GOT THAT IDEA FROM. DUDES A MONKEY SEE MONKEY DO AS BITCH. EARLY TRACKS WASN’T TALKING BOUT U A BLOOD NOW I C PHOTOS OF U THROWING BLOOD UP! THIS SOME MIDDLE SCHOOL POPULARITY FUCK SHIT RIGHT HERE AND YALL NEW MILLENNIUM GANGSTERS BE EATING THIS SHIT UP! SHAME ON ALL YALL AND THAT CLOWN!

    17. This little faggot. People get the dumbest tats. Aaliyah was that big of an influence on your life huh? That explains the music you create

    18. Drake is like a fruity version of Game. Both them niggas is bipolar as fuck. One minute Drake is a wet pussy ass nigga singing love songs, next hes going to beat niggas up like hes DMX, shits embarrassing.

    19. I like drake but…cmon drizzy wut the hell is he doin loool i cant support this. Dude hes shirtless playin tennis,gettin a tat of Aaliyha and then u got the nerve to beef wit common.Lol and drizzy wonders why common said dat shit lol.

    20. NIGGA HAVING A ROUND OF SHIRTLESS TENNIS WITH THE GUYS LOL… THIS NIGGA COULDNT BE ANY LESS GAY IF HE WAS SEEN KISSING WAYNE ON THE LIPS

    21. hi!this further my point that the OVO crew can never go in jane and finch toronto without harrassed!and maybe stomp on! this could be a career ender…didnt lil wayne say dont get any tattoos?

    22. hi!this further my point that the OVO crew can never go in jane and finch toronto> didnt lil wayne tell him not to get any tattoos?

    23. Man I thought they were hooping at first then I saw the tennis balls, LOL. I guess tennis does make more sense. How do they know if Drake just got this or been had it though?

    24. haha yall hatin for the wrong reasons. niggas got more money then you will ever have. hes spending it how ever the fuck he wants. all this shows is that drizzy likes to stay active and not sit around smoke all damn day. let the nigga be. god damn. yall crazy.

      1. Nigaa ur stupid wtf does a aaliyah tattoo show us he doesnt juss sit around n smoke all day??? wat? r u his homie do u know wat his schedule looks like? he cant sit around n smoke all day cuz he as virgin lungs n will prolly past out or do sumthin really gay n get “left-eye” tatted on his cheek…

      2. How do you know that Drake will always have more money than me or anyone else on this site? He aint no billionaire. He’s not even worth 50 million, give me a fucking break, my father owns his own medical business producing medical devices for surgery world-wide, he has WAY MORE money than drake. You are the one who will be broke for life, bitch.

    25. Some black people are so ignorant, what does him playing tennis have to do with anything? So if its not football or basketball is gay. Shut that ignorant shit up already.

      1. No, what’s ignorant is the belief that only black people are posting comments on these websites. Your comment has nothing to do with race and everything to do with whats perceived as “manly.” Not that I agree, but tennis isn’t generally considered a manly sport.

    26. playing tennis??? rofl thats all i had to hear.. drake is a homosexual,,

      why the fuck would he get aaliyah tatted on him?? its not like he personally knew her.. fucking creeper

    27. How’s he come out and say he’s gonna, “F*ck up” the guy who tattoo’d ‘Drake’ on some stupid chick’s forehead and then go do this.

      Common was right. Softer than baby stool. Hypocrite.

    28. how is getting a tat of a woman (An icon to many, Aaliyah) gay? She obviously influenced him and many tat Pac and MJ on themselves as well.

    29. So what people say.. if you have a tattoo of a Woman you’re gay? Pussy? Soft? So you judge people by Tattoos! Come on!! Bullshit!! Aaliyah was great!! Maybe she influenced him a lot! I’m not a fan of Drake, but that don’t matter. Tattoo’s don’t make the person!

      1. You’re right. Tattoo’s dont make the person. But their actions do and Drakes actions have been mostly bitch. Criticizing tattoo artist for tatting a rappers name someone(doesn’t matter where the location is) and then having this surface? He should be embarrassed.

        Go back to Degrassi, Aubrey.

      2. So if Aaliyah is his greatest inspiration can we get this dude the fuck off of every hip hop site and leave him in the R&B category? If you’re a Drake fan and get tired of us “haters” that would be a great way to stop hearing the slander. He can do whatever gay shit he wants but stop categorizing him as a hip hop artist.

    30. Tennis is a cool sport, whats so gay about hitting a ball across a net? I never got on to how the sport is gay.

      However, Drake is gay. Its not about the tattoo, its everything about him. SO when he does something like this, hes just gonna get the slam no matter what.

    31. Versatile is a fan of Janet Jackson but you wouldn’t catch him having a tatt of her on his back or anyway.

      Aaliyah may have influenced him but let’s get this straight this should not even be news. Males should NOT be gossiping that is a females trait…so we will end out on saying that

    32. this has nothin to do with the girl’s tattoo. that tattoo was stupid shit, and he had to call out somebody for it(tho I don’t really blame the artist who did that).

      this is still a weird decision for a tat but it’s nowhere near the level of having someone’s name stamped on your FOREHEAD.. and having to shave your eyebrows and part of your scalp for it

    33. Of course I didnt Aaliyah personally, but for some odd reason I cant her liking him if she was here..LOL….Nigga is just sooooooooo corny. Its not hate its the vibe I get ESPECIALLY after saying he was gonnna kick the tatt artist ass..LOL…That shit was SO NOT CONVINCING….It is what it is.

    34. I am going to put Nicki Minaj’s asscheecks on my forehead. Momma I wanna be leik Drake!

      L1ek d1s 1f you cry evryt1me.

    35. Dear Drake,

      Please open me and step out of the closet. Youve been in here too long buddy.

      Yours truly,
      The Closet Door

      1. Cant argue with you there. Other than “Is Canadian” Please don’t let him be a representation of us Canadians. He stays getting punched in his mouth or disrespected when he comes here. Fact is America accepts him more than Canada. But you really hit that one on the nose!

      2. Oh. Shit.

        LOL!

        ^^^People’s “ignorance” > You catching feelings over a gay ass Canadian.

        Next time just come on out and say you wanna sick his duck. You sensitive owl kissing bitch.

    37. God bless the dead, Aaliyah, we wish you were still here. But this is just so damned stupid. If this guy’s serious about getting more into acting, multiple, obvious tats are going to be a dealbreaker.. and I guess any woman he’s with will have to know that they’re competing with a ghost..

      1. ^^^^^HAHAHAHAH so true. There is more crime in Philadelphia or Kansas City than there is in all of Canada. Real talk faggot

    38. THATS JUST THE WAY THAT THEY GROW, THEY GROW THEY GROW THEY GROW. I EVEN TRIED TO COMB EM TO THE SIDE…….

    39. I thought for sure he would have an I heart penis tattooed on his back with Wayne’s face on it..oh well

    40. What’s happened to hip hop. When I was growing up it used to be that the faces of hip hop were actual men, think Big Daddy Kane. Now you got these androgynous “men” like Big Shawn and this ridiculous assclown Drake. The no nothing mainstream can keep this overrated Canadian closet case. I won’t buy the hype.

      1. YOU GOT THAT RIGHT MA FUKRS USED TO BE SCARED OF RAPPERS, “WE UNAPPROACHABLE THUGS”, I LIKED THAT IMAGE ALOT MORE THAN THIS GAY TIGHT JEAN AUTO-TUNING MAKE UP WEARING FAIRY MUSIC THESE CLOWNS MAKIN,
        NOT SAYING YOU GOT TO BE A THUG BUT DAMN THIS SHIT TOO EMOTIONAL

    41. this Drizzy kid got new tattoo on his back but um is there any connection between Dwacke and Al ?

      most of these niggaz just respect people even if don kno who is

      Awakening

      Think and not try others

      Run yo lane

    42. Who is this Drake? I’ve never known him and encountered such a person? Aubrey Graham? She got some good pussy? What? Aubrey’s a he?????? No wonder I know the sensitive little faggot. Time to chop fire wood, teach wisdom to the meek, then attract a fine woman. Peace.

    43. so he tattooed a known whore on his back. dumb motherfucker. yes she is dead and i feel bad for her family but everybody in the industry knew she was a whore.

      1. ???????????

        I don’t even know what to say to this. Everyone in the music industry can be justified as a whore, but unless you followed Aaliyah around, I suggest you shut your fucking mouth. The woman had fucking talent and she was humble as hell.

        The fuck are you?

    44. So let me get this straight. This fool said that he wanted to beat the fuck out of that tattoo artist who tatted “DRAKE” on a lady’s forehead, but is gonna get a tattoo on his back of Aaliyah. So, once that Aaliyah tattoo is finished, is he gonna want to beat the fuck out of the guy who is giving him the tattoo as well??

      1. This shit literally makes no sense. The only common or comparable thing between the two scenarios is someone got a tattoo of someone famous as a tribute to them. Drake wanted to ‘beat the fuck’ outta the tattoo artist because he did an interview and took shots at drake specifically citing the rapper as being a terrible choice for the forehead tattoo because he is ‘the softest motherfucker in hip-hop’. Drake was not just angry that the tattoo artist did the tattoo, and concordantly his fucking job, because that would make no sense. I hope this clears things up for you. Quit making irrelevant comments just to hate on someone everyone else is already hating on, you stupid fuck.

    45. So i got a question then….. Does that make the game soft because you know he has a tattoo of eazy-e on him right? And trench off naughty by nature has a image on tupac right on his forearm right? So you say drake is gay and soft but he has a female tattoo on his back…..Let me say it again a female….What does trench and game on them……A man………. Hating is for niggas that have no job and no life….Stick a fork in the socket. Good day

      1. Yo i feel you but the only thing is Pac was one of treach’s favorite people and was his best friend. Drake never met Aaliyah and def. didnt know her well enough to warrant a tattoo of her on his back…A better comparison would be if me or you got a tattoo of 2pac on our back even though we never met him…I do feel like its sad when something like this is an article and ppl do look for anything they can to discredit Drake, hes one of m favorite rappers. But this is an undeniably “soft” thing to do, especially considering it would be wack to tat your girlfriend’s name on you so this is much much worse in a way lol…but I feel you

    46. …..wasnt he disgusted a few days ago from someone gettin a drake tattoo on their face andralk shit about the artist that did it blah blah just cus it was on their face? Fucking stupid.

      1. ask yourself what’s the difference between a tat across your forehead and a tat on your back and get back to us.

    47. nobody care what drake doing boy sweet as 200 pound bag of sugar get real sound like he got a dick in his mouth when he trying to sing
