“Hahaha I had 16 people to try and straighten this out, they’re hurting me,” the rapper’s dad, Dennis Graham, later responded
Drake is having a laugh with his dad!
On Sunday, the “God’s Plan” rapper hilariously poked fun at dad Dennis Graham’s tattoo of his face nearly five years after he inked the portrait on his arm.
“I was just sitting here thinking why you do me like this we family ????????????,” Drake captioned a close-up shot of his dad’s tattoo in an Instagram post.

Graham played along with the joke in the comment section, first writing, “I love you ❤️???????? and miss you,” before adding in another comment: “Hahaha I had 16 people to try and straighten this out,they’re hurting me ????????♂️????????♂️????????♂️????????♂️????????♂️????????♂️????????????????????❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.”
Graham first revealed the tattoo of his son’s face on his arm in 2017 after getting it done by artist Money Mike.
“Had the honor and privilege of tattooing @champagnepapi fathers portrait on the man himself @therealdennisg thank you again Dennis for the hospitality and for letting me do this for ya. CHUUUCH!” Mike wrote in part on his website at the time.
Last year, the “One Dance” artist – who has quite the collection of ink himself – added another piece of artwork to his arm, paying tribute to Off-White fashion designer Virgil Abloh, who died after privately battling cancer for two years. He was 41 years old.
The Canadian rapper appeared on Los Angeles-based tattoo artist Ganga Tattoo’s Instagram account in December, showing off new ink.
“A remembrance of the great Virgil Abloh done on Drake,” the caption read.
The image showed a man from the back in the process of throwing a paper airplane, with attention paid to the details of his clothing and even the shadow he cast.
Ganga Tattoo’s post tagged Drake, the IG account for Abloh, as well as the corporate accounts for Louis Vuitton and Off-White, where Abloh worked as an artistic director and designer.
