A report in The Fader in 2017 revealed Drake inked a portrait of rapper Lil Wayne on his upper left arm, the ultimate dedication to his fellow Young Money star. In an Instagram photo Drake posted in the summer of 2017, fans can catch a glimpse of the large tattoo of Wayne's face right next to a skull and Drakkar Noir bottle.
Drake and Lil Wayne's relationship tracks back to 2009, when Wayne signed the Canadian rapper (and then actor) to his music label Young Money. The two went on to collab on plenty of hit singles, including DJ Khaled's "I'm On One," French Montana's "Pop That," Drake's own "HYFR," and Young Money's "Bed Rock." Lil Wayne also notably signed Nicki Minaj to Young Money, making the two rappers into music's biggest stars.
So how did Lil Wayne feel about the tattoo honor? According to TMZ, Drake did send Wayne a photo of the completed portrait to see how he liked it, and the "Lollipop" artist approved. The outlet reports Wayne was "honored" by Drake's dedication.
