DRAKE GETS CELEBRATOR­Y INK

- Chris Arnold

In 2018, Drake beat The Beatles’ 1964 record for most top-10 songs in a year, with 12 to the Fab Four’s 11. The Canadian rapper recently showed off a new tattoo re-creating the Abbey Road album art with himself in the front looking back toward the group and waving.

Drake, shown, rapped on Meek Mill’s 2018 song Going Bad: “Back home smoking legal. I got more slaps than the Beatles.”

His new album, Care Package, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart this week, his ninth to achieve the feat. It’s a collection of songs released from 2010 to 2016, previously unavailabl­e for convention­al streaming.

The tattoo reveal comes days after the 50th anniversar­y of the iconic Beatles photo shoot. Abbey Road will be reissued in a special box set later this year.
