Drake is paying tribute to late fashion icon Virgil Abloh with a permanent heartfelt gesture.
The 35-year-old superstar rapper commemorated the former Louis Vuitton and Off-White designer, who died in late November following a battle with cancer, with a special new tattoo on his forearm. Los Angeles-based tattoo artist Joaquin Ganga took to Instagram on Wednesday (Dec. 22) to share a photo of Drake’s latest ink, a realistic design of Abloh launching a kite during the Louis Vuitton menswear show at Paris Fashion Week in 2018.
“A remembrance of the great Virgil Abloh done on Drake @champagnepapi @virgilabloh,” Ganga captioned the black-and-white snapshot.
Abloh passed away on Nov. 28 after a private two-year battle with cardiac angiosarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer. Following his death, Drake was among numerous musical acts to honor the designer for his artistic contributions.
“My plan is to touch the sky 1000 more times for you…love you eternally brother thank you for everything,” the Toronto MC captioned an Instagram photo gallery of himself with Abloh.
In addition to his contributions in fashion, Abloh was a DJ and served as Kanye West’s longtime creative director. He also helped design iconic album covers by West, A$AP Rocky, Lil Uzi Vert and Pop Smoke, and teamed up with Kid Cudi on the Kurt Cobain-inspired floral print dress worn by the rapper during Saturday Night Live appearance earlier in the year.

Jesy Nelson is now engaged to her boyfriend Zion Foster.
The former Little Mix star announced the news on Instagram on Friday, confirming that she had accepted a proposal from the musician, who is also the father of her twin daughters.
"Just got engaged to my best friend," she wrote in the caption, adding ring and emotional face emojis. The message was shared alongside a photo seemingly taken moments after the proposal, which took place on a beach at sunset.
In the picture, Jesy proudly displays her engagement ring while Zion kisses her cheek, with the two standing on a blanket spread out on the sand.
She later posted another photo, giving her followers a closer look at the sparkling diamond on her finger.
Messages of love quickly poured in from fans and friends, with fellow X Factor alum Ella Henderson commenting, "Awww congrats gorgeous girly! You deserve the universe."
Jesy and Zion also re-posted the announcement on their Instagram Stories, choosing Lionel Richie’s song Truly to soundtrack the moment.
Zion added his own words on social media, writing, "God is the greatest (heart emoji) the luckiest man."
Jesy began dating Zion in 2022, and earlier this year they welcomed twin daughters Ocean and Story.
The twins were born prematurely at 31 weeks in May as a result of twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), a rare complication that put their lives at risk. After several weeks in neonatal care, Jesy and Zion were able to bring them home in June.
Jesy is also currently working on a six-part documentary series for Prime Video titled Jesy Nelson: Life After Little Mix. The series will explore her high-risk pregnancy, her journey into motherhood, and her life since leaving Little Mix in 2020.
A release date for the series has not yet been confirmed.
