IN PICS: Rihanna covers up matching tattoo she had with Drake

'Fashion killa' Rihanna was spotted in the streets of New York with her Drake shark tattoo covered up with a new crown tattoo.


Barbados singer and fashion icon Robyn Fenty, commonly known as Rihanna, was spotted in the streets of New York with new bae Asap Rocky. And in some super close up pictures of her, or rather her feet, you can see she completely covered up the matching tattoo she got with Drake.

Rihanna got the matching shark tattoo done some time in September 2016 and shortly after Drake was spotted with the same tattoo.

According to Vanity Fair, the tattoo was an exact replica of the stuffed shark toy that Drake had given Fenty when they were both out on a casual date at the Toronto Aquarium.

The singer’s tattoo artist spoke to Vanity Fair not too long doing the tattoo. He said: “The significance is personal. That’s really all I can say. I’ve seen many people guessing the meaning online, but it’s not my place to share publicly.”

“I will say I’ve made many tattoos for Rihanna and this one is my favourite,” he added.

The Fenty Beauty founder has now covered up the once sentimental tattoo with a crown.

Tweeps across the globe have been shocked that anybody would dare to bounce Rihanna and deny her entry into any place she would want to go. Here is what they have had to say:
