Son of the year! Drake‘s newest tattoo is a sweet tribute to his mom Sandra Graham.
The rapper, 35, unveiled the design via Instagram on Thursday, August 11, sharing a carousel of images captioned, “Sandra Gale.”
The first photo of the slideshow is a zoomed-in image of Drake’s cheek with the initials “SG” inked just below the musician’s eye. (Also included in the montage of pics was a funny selfie of Drake’s dad Dennis Graham, posing in a paisley-adorned face mask and a matching button-up.)

Elsewhere, Drake has a tribute to late singer Aaliyah and ink of Lil Wayne — who he credits for helping establish his rap career — on his arm.
Drake’s new addition comes after he hilariously trolled his dad over a tattoo the Tennessee native, 67, got of his son’s face back in 2017.
“@TheRealDennisG I was just sitting here thinking why you do me like this we family,” Drake captioned the post shared on Monday, August 8. The ink, which was placed on Dennis’ shoulder, depicts a serious-looking Drake with a low haircut.
In the comments section, Dennis revealed he’s tried to get the tattoo fixed. “Hahaha I had 16 people to try and straighten this out, they’re

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic“Day Shift” is a vampire thriller stuffed with lock-and-load ultraviolence, starring Jamie Foxx in imperious badass mode. At heart, though, it’s a knowingly eccentric goof of a movie, to the point that it’s hard, for a while, not to find it agreeable, even as you register what a preposterous piece of fluff it is. Unfortunately, it’s also an arduous piece of fluff.
