Drake Reacts to Fan Face Tattoo, Threatens Tattoo Artist

After a fan recently got Drake’s name tattooed on her forehead, the rapper spoke with Power 106 to react to the unlikely show of support…

A picture of a fan with a tattoo of Drake’s name across her forehead recently spread rapidly across the Internet, and now Drizzy has responded to the photo and decision.

“I want to meet her and understand what happened,” he told Mando Fresko of Power 106. “That’s cool, though. Like, I feel you, 100 percent. That, to me, is, like, absolutely incredible.”

The Young Money rhymer also had some not-so-kind words for the artist that inked the word on the woman’s face.

“The guy who tatted it is a fucking asshole, though,” he said. “I will tell you that. I don’t fuck with that guy. Fuck you to that tat artist, by the way, ’cause you’re an asshole, for real. And you should lose your job, and you should never do tattoos again. I don’t fuck with you and if I ever see you I’m gonna fuck you up.”

Drake’s threat was likely in response to things that Kevin Campbell, the man behind the tattoo, said recently to vice. “The funny thing is, I didn’t know who Drake was,” Campbell said in an interview earlier this month. “I figured it was her hood or some shit, not some goofnugget R&B dude.”

“I guess I feel bad that this dumbass got the name of the softest muthafucka in hip-hop tattooed on her forehead,” he continued. “But what makes that any less valid of a tattoo to her? I lost a little sleep over it that first night, wondering if I wanted to be known as the asshole who tattooed “DRAKE” on some crackhead’s forehead. None of the face tattoos I had done prior to this got any publicity, so I was a little surprised that this one took off like it did. I’m still kinda debating whether or not I should send you guys the whole set of pictures, I don’t really want to paint the shop in a bad light, but it is what it is. In the end, she paid me to do this to her, which really means she did this to herself.”

Drizzy did bring it back to the positivity before the interview came to a close, though. “Real shit, though, I really, really like—I wanna talk to this girl and understand it all,” he reiterated. “It’s love. It’s crazy. It’s surreal. I don’t even wanna look at it anymore.”

Drake’s Take Care went platinum earlier this week. —Adam Fleischer

      real talk he’s a soft ass bitch..SMH @ the drake dick riders.

    • CaponeMOB  | December 24, 2011 2:27 am

      when you FAGGOT dick riders are going to learn how to use the WORD haters? seriously,a nigga cant criticzise an artist,or an artist song with out dick riders sayin some one is hating, ima post the defenition of criticize…

      Indicate the faults of (someone or something) in a disapproving way: “they criticized the failure of Western nations”.
      Form and express a judgment of (a literary or artistic work).

      CAN yall READ that shit you fucking DICK RIDERS? memorize that definition.

      another thing,niggaz talk about how soft drake is not only cuz of his music but cuz of the way he carries himself,if you see a nigga walking down the street with a PINK DRESS are you goin to expect some one to call him a FAGGOT? YES right? why? cuz he’s puttin out the perception that he’s a faggot by wearing a pink dress,and perception is OUR reality, so when some one calls a dude with a pink dress a gay ass faggot is he HATING or is he being honest?

      is NOT our fault drake is putting out the perception of a SOFT ass R&B singing ass nigga, everything about dude looks soft,not only his music. can you imagine young jeezy talking shit about he doesnt like that people think he’s a drug dealing street nigga from the hood? if he doesnt like it,then STOP rappin about gangtsa shit.same with drake. and if yall notice recently he’s been acting outta character,recently he’s been tryin to make it seem like he 50 cent,like when they asked him about the PUSHA T subliminals,he was tryin to say some thing like,say MY name nigga,dont be throwing subliminal shots. like he’s READY for COMBAT on the mic or on the streets,when i remember his soft ass used to say he stays away from the negativity and all that shit,he dont care what niggaz say about him,and NOW he wanna act like 50 cent,talkin about he gon’fuck some body up,even though the tattoo artist was being honest of how he FEELS about his ass,and he was right anyway. i EVEN knew R kelly wasnt soft just cuz he SINGS,i looked at the way he carried himself,and i could tell there was a dark side to that nigga, no MATTER how much that nigga sings. so drake singing is NOT the only issue,is his whole persona. the dark side i see in drake is that he probaly got a closet FULL of dildo’s and strap on’s. now SWALLOW that DRAKE dick riders.

    Come on now people. The media paints him as soft and you jump on d**k and agree because he sings. WE DON’T KNOW DRAKE!!! Anybody can be a serious threat with the right mindset towards the situation so let’s stop pretending that we know so much about Drake. The only thing you know about Drake is that he claims Toronto and makes catchy songs that they play on the radio. Besides that we really don’t know sh*t about the man…so let’s stop pretending that we do.

    • WeDo  | December 23, 2011 6:19 pm

      we KNOW he is a soft as nigga who plays hard and really aint shit

  9. Sha  | December 23, 2011 7:02 pm

    First…… Where is this chick’s parents????? And I’ll also state the obvious….. This chick is either a lesbian or on drugs, because what dude would let their chick do something so stupid? And getting a job without wearing a baseball cap or a wig? You’re toast! No loot! Drake had better pay this chick for free advertising (just kidding)….

    And on some more real ish?

    Drake is really feeling himself now. REALLY! I mean, he’s all full of fake courage in interviews. This dude went on stage at one of his concerts and actually dared Common to step to him in person (although he didn’t actually say Common’s name, everyone knew who he was talking about).

    We see this all of the time. Dudes come up in the rap game and make a little pocket change and start thinking they are GOD’S GIFT TO MANKIND (what up 50 cent and Kanye).

    I’m not your typical Drake hater. I actually think Drake’s skills on the mic are actually pretty good (when he finally DOES rap). But….

    AND HERE’S THE FLAME THROWER:

    My only problem with Drake is how he wears his Jewish faith on his chest like a badge of honor (there’s nothing wrong with that), but meanwhile he’s sh*ttin’ on Christianity in his songs (cursing throughout the Just Blaze produced LORD KNOWS which is obviously pushing the boundaries on some church ish). Why didn’t he step with some Jewish ish and curse on some of his Jewish faith? I know cats will say Rick Ross and Just Blaze were on it, but I don’t know…. It still seems kinda messed up to me.
