Canadian rapper Drake is facing criticism over a recent Instagram post that compared his birthmark to that of singer Gracie Abrams. The backlash erupted after Drake shared a story featuring a selfie of Abrams alongside one of himself performing, highlighting their similar birthmarks. His caption, which read, “I used to hate my birthmark but Gracie got the same one. Now it’s art,” has drawn mixed reactions from fans.
Some followers interpreted the post as an innocent show of admiration, while others found it unsettling. Social media quickly lit up with a variety of responses. One user asked, “Why is Drake obsessed with Gracie?” while another remarked, “Drake reposting Gracie wtf wasn’t in my bucket list.” The discourse included concerns about the nature of the post, with one fan stating, “Why is Drake posting Gracie like this? Oh my god, stay away.”
The conversation intensified around the age difference between the two artists, with comments describing Drake’s behavior as “weird.” One user humorously noted, “Drake got her on his story quoting birthmarks like it’s poetry. I’d delete my whole identity if he posted me like that.”
Previous Interactions and Current Context
This is not the first time Drake has mentioned Gracie Abrams on social media. Earlier in the year, he praised her song “I Knew It, I Know You,” calling attention to its beat switch and expressing admiration through emojis in his post. Fans responded enthusiastically, revisiting the song’s music video and filling the comments with admiration for both artists.
Despite these interactions, there is no public indication of a friendship between Drake and Abrams. The 25-year-old singer is currently in a relationship with actor Paul Mescal, while Drake is occupied with his tour in Europe. Meanwhile, Abrams is preparing for her upcoming performances at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, adding another layer to this unfolding narrative.
The incident highlights the complexities of celebrity interactions in the age of social media, where admiration can quickly become a source of controversy. As fans continue to discuss the implications of Drake’s post, it remains to be seen how both artists will navigate their public personas and the reactions they evoke.
