- Drake has said that he wants to get a tattoo of Celine Dion’s face on his body, but she’s not into it.
- In a new interview, the Canadian singer urged the Canadian rapper, “Don’t do that.”
- Celine offered up various other ways the performers could bond, sans permanent ink.
Celine Dion is an iconic singer (I mean, just try not to belt out “My Heart Will Go On”), so much so that her talent has caught the attention of rapper Drake. Apparently, the fellow Canadian wants to get a tattoo of Celine’s face on his body, adding to his collection of ink.
ICYDK, Drake already has tattoos of some of his favorite female performers, including Sade (he has two tats of her).
It’s also been rumored that he has a tat of Rihanna, too.
While Drake first floated the idea of a Celine tattoo in 2017, she recently shared some, ahem, thoughts on his preferred method of artist appreciation.
“Please, Drake, I love you very much,” Celine said during an interview with iHeartRadio Canada on September 18. “Can I tell you something? Don’t do that. You can write me love letters. You can send me autographs for my kids. You can come and visit.”
She continued, offering up some other ways for the performers to get closer beyond getting one of their faces permanently etched onto the other’s body. “I can have you home for lunch or dinner. We can go for a drink,” she added. “We can sing together. Whatever you want to do. I can talk to your mother. Whatever you want, but please…”
Celine went on to explain her concerns that the tattoo won’t age well. “As time goes, as you go older, you too—when time comes, my face will go longer and it will go not prettier,” she said. “Please don’t tattoo. If you do it, just do a fake one.”
