We Think He’s Serious About This One
Drake is notorious for randomly tattooing people’s faces on his body, so it didn’t come as too much of a surprise when the rapper told Céline Dion at the Billboard Music Awards last weekend that he was “like a year away from a Céline tat,” gesturing to his already tatted up ribcage. We have so many questions for Drake. For instance, why one year? That seems like such an arbitrary timeline. What other tattoos does he have to get before he splurges on the Céline Dion piece? And what if the songstress has reservations about the ink, which it appears she does; will he still go through with it?

As for Céline Dion, in that awkward clip of the two of them meeting at the Billboard Music Awards, the Toronto rapper-singer told Ms. Dion, “It means the world, you’re very iconic. We love you.” Who knows if Drake will actually go through with getting a tat of her portrait (our guess is he will), but we should note that Céline Dion seemed just as excited about the possibility of her face living on forever in the form of a Drake tattoo as Aaliyah probably would have been, and the 49-year-old can be heard responding to Drake in the video, “No. No, please,” before quickly changing the subject by introducing the rapper to her son.
