Like father, like son.
Back in 2014, Drake got a tattoo of his dad’s face on his arm. Now his dad has returned the favor. As TMZ points out, Dennis Graham got a large Drake face inked on his right arm. According to the report, the piece took four hours and was done by an artist named Money Mike. As can be seen in the photos, Dennis already has an OVO Owl on his left arm.
Meanwhile, Drake’s tattoo of his dad’s mugshot isn’t the only face he’s immortalized on his body. Earlier this summer it was revealed that Drake had put an image of his Young Money mentor Lil Wayne on his arm. Prior to that, Drake had tattoos of Sade and Aaliyah done.
Drake recently excited fans of his 2011 album Take Care when he had a brief interaction with The Weeknd on Instagram. The singer referenced Drake’s throwback look in a picture, writing “Take Care curls,” to which the rapper replied “subliminally trying to tell you we need to make music.” The two collaborated on multiple songs across Take Care, but despite having loads of independent success, have not worked together in some time.
Drake made history earlier this year when he ended a legendary run on the Hot 100. Having a song on the charts every week since “Best I Ever Had” made its debut in 2009, Drake had a continuous presence for 430 consecutive weeks, finally falling off in August. When asked about the record by a TMZ photographer, Drake revealed he’s looking to top himself, saying “I need 500.”
Dennis Graham shared some hilarious dating advice in a recent interview. He also revealed that the photo of him that was used as Drake’s More Life album cover was taken in 1983: t”he first year I moved to Toronto.” He also shared some thoughts on what it takes to be a “real man.” “Be humble. Be true to your woman. Be true to yourself,” he said. Watch the full interview here.
