Drake Displays His Love For Aaliyah By Getting Tattoo Of Her On His Back [Photo]



Drake has made no secret that he's a huge fan of late singer Aaliyah. He sampled her song

"At Your Best (You Are Love)," for the track "Unforgettable" that appears on his debut album Thank Me Later.

Last year the Toronto rapper penned a letter to the singer via Rap Radar expressing his love for her.

Dear Dana,

I’ve never lost a parent, a friend, or a lover but I will never forget this day for the rest of my life. I remember getting the news that you had passed and it connected with my heart like a clean shot from Muhammad Ali. I was crushed. Not only was I one of your biggest fans but I was truly in love with you. I loved the way you carried yourself, the way you dressed, the confidence with which you addressed passion and relationships in your music. I said to myself that even if we never met, I wanted a woman in my life just like you. I am pained that we will never get to connect now that music ended up being my career path. But you should know, we all listen to you everyday and we remain inspired and moved by all that you’ve given the world. I hope I make the right life choices so I can end up in heaven where I know you rest your head. I’ll continue to make music in your honor until the day we finally meet. Dinner’s on me!

Love you always and forever,

Drake

This year Drizzy has taken his affection for Aaliyah a step further by getting a tattoo of her face on his back. He released the picture Christmas Day, which shows him shirtless after playing tennis. The Aaliyah tat appears to have wings above it.
