Drake is still not over the tattoo his father Dennis Graham got of the rapper’s face five years ago.
The hip-hop mogul, 35, took to Instagram on Monday to poke fun at the old ink, posting the tattoo and tagging his dad with the caption, “I was just sitting here thinking why you’re doing this to me , we family”, with three laughing crying emojis.
His 67-year-old musician father wasn’t upset by the playful jab, explaining that he was trying to fix the artwork: “Hahaha I’ve had 16 people trying to fix this, they’re hurting me.”

He then added a few tender words for his son, writing, “I love you and miss you.”
The ink found on the top of Graham’s shoulder shows a younger Drake without a beard and with a cropped haircut.
Graham senior first revealed the tattoo on his son’s face in 2017 – done by artist Money Mike.
