Drake surprised fans with a rare moment of self-reflection on the Gram, crediting rising singer Gracie Abrams with helping him see beauty in something he used to dislike. On August 4, the rap superstar posted two photos side by side. One showed Abrams. The other featured Drake performing shirtless, his arm and a distinct brown birthmark fully visible. The caption read, "I used to hate my birthmark but Gracie got the same one. Now it's art."
Get this, the post set socials ablaze. Speculation sparked instantly, with some fans wondering if there's a deeper connection brewing between the two artists. Others are now rallying for a collab, while a few eagle-eyed followers pointed out that this isn't the first time Drake has shined a light on Abrams.
In case you missed it, earlier this year, Drake showed serious love for Abrams' track "I Knew It, I Know You" from her album The Secret of Us. Sharing the song on his Story, he wrote, "[GOAT]'d beat switch on this. Second half is [sad emoji, brain exploding emoji, blue heart emoji]." That co-sign led fans straight to the track's video, where the comment section quickly lit up with new listeners.
For now, both artists are keeping the momentum going in their own lanes. Drake is overseas, hitting the stage in Manchester and Belgium as part of his European tour. Abrams is back stateside and gearing up for back-to-back shows at the Kia Forum in Inglewood.
While nothing official has dropped regarding a musical link-up, the energy between them has fans watching closely. And if nothing else, one thing is clear. Gracie Abrams helped Drake flip a long-held insecurity into a point of pride, turning vulnerability into validation with just a little shared detail.
