and even though i laugh it off, man its probably true.
A shot of Drake’s Aaliyah tattoo surfaced last month. Now a workin in progress Drizzy gave us a closer look at his back tats, which include Aaliyah’s face, a bird in flight, and the OVO owl. It looks like he has been working out as he prepares to launch his “Club Paradise” tour in Miami on Valentine’s Day
Drake’s love for Aaliyah is no secret. As evident when he sampled Aaliyah’s “At Your Best (You Are Love)” on his debut Thank Me Later, on the Unforgettable, one of my personal favourties. Aaliyah’s face appears on the left side of his back with a pair of wings above it. Now he’ll always have an angel watching over him.
