Drake stepped out at a basketball game where the Boston Celtics played against the Toronto Raptors on Saturday.
Before the star entered the event, he was photographed against a wall of paparazzi.
The star wore a padded denim jacket with a red lining open over a white shirt.
He paired the look with braided hair and a huge silver chain with matching diamond earrings.
However, while looking closely at his face, fans noticed the newest addition to his tattoo collection.
The word “miskeen” was written across his forehead above his right eye in a simple font.
The word translates to “poor” or “pathetic” in Arabic and Amharic but is commonly used in his hometown Toronto to describe a “sweet and innocent” person.
FAN COMMENTS
Drake’s tattoo debut was photographed and posted on X, formerly Twitter, and fans flooded the comments with concern.
One seemingly worried fan wrote: “Sir are you really okay at home ???”
They added: “Asking for a concerned fan.”
A couple of followers replied: “What does it say?”
Certain fans weren’t happy at the translation: “The dude lives in a $150m mansion.”
Another added: “This is a big L.”
One particularly worried fan reposted a moving image of a worried face emoji with no caption.
TICKET TIME
This appearance soon followed the general sale for tickets to Drake’s upcoming tour, which took place last week.
On November 13, Champagne Papi announced a new set of dates for his upcoming It’s All A Blur Tour – Big As the What? US tour in 2024. Fellow rapper J. Cole will provide support for the majority of the dates.
Beginning with two performances at Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado on January 18 and 19, the 22-date run of the event, which is produced by Live Nation and presented by Cash App and Visa, will include several back-to-back arena dates.
The tour will conclude with a performance at Birmingham, Alabama’s The Legacy Arena at BJCC following a doubleheader in New Orleans, Nashville, and Columbus.
Drake’s It’s All A Blur Tour, which concluded recently, saw the rapper play 50 sold-out arena shows across North America in the summer and fall to promote his eighth studio album, For All the Dogs.
