Even with as much success as Drake has enjoyed, the 6 God is still insecure about some things. While he hasn’t been shy about revealing vulnerabilities in his music, Drizzy opened up about how Gracie Abrams helped him get past hating a birthmark on his arm.

Drake took to his Instagram Story on Monday (Aug. 4), posting a recent selfie of the “That’s So True” singer and then followed up with a photo of himself performing with a similar brown birthmark.


“I used to hate my birthmark but Gracie got the same one,” he wrote. “Now it’s art.”

Fans chimed in about Drake’s claim. Some are looking to manifest a collaboration between the pair of superstars, while others are curious about his motive.

“Whys drake obsessed with gracie,” one person wrote. Another added: “Now why is drake posting gracie abrams…”

It’s not clear whether Drake and Gracie know each other, but this isn’t the first time Drake has posted Abrams to his IG Story this year. Back in March, Drizzy reposted “I Knew It, I Know You” lyrics from the singer’s sophomore album, The Secret of Us, while championing the track’s beat switch.

“[GOAT]’d beat switch on this,” he wrote. “Second half is [sad emoji, brain exploding emoji, blue heart emoji].”

At that time, the OVO fans discovered the “I Knew It, I Know You” music video and flooded the comments section.

Drake and Gracie Abrams are both currently on the road for their respective tours. The 6 God is across the pond where he’ll hit the stage in Manchester and Belgium this week, while Abrams has a pair of shows at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California.
