“I used to hate it”: Drake opens up about his birthmark after noticing Gracie Abrams has the same one

Drake might be one of the biggest artists in the world, but that doesn’t mean he’s immune to insecurities. Despite all the fame and success, even he has things about himself he’s struggled with. In a rare personal moment, the rapper opened up about something as simple and relatable as a birthmark and how fellow singer Gracie Abrams helped shift his perspective on it.

The revelation came via Instagram Stories, where Drake shared a selfie of Gracie Abrams and pointed out that she has the same kind of birthmark he does. What followed was a surprisingly honest confession: he used to hate his own birthmark, but seeing Gracie with hers made him see it differently.

“Now it’s art” he wrote. A short line, but one that sparked a lot of talk online.

Drake's birthmark post goes viral

Drake’s post didn’t go unnoticed, especially not by fans who are always quick to spot any hint of connection between artists. The fact that he shared Gracie’s photo and commented on a personal insecurity caught people’s attention. Some praised him for being vulnerable, while others couldn’t help but wonder if this meant something more was brewing, maybe a collab, or at least a friendship.

It wasn’t the first time Drake posted about Gracie either. Earlier this year, he shouted her out again, this time for her track “I Knew It, I Know You” from her album The Secret of Us. He highlighted the beat switch in the second half, calling it a GOAT move. His appreciation didn’t go unnoticed then either, with fans flocking to Gracie’s video and speculating about their connection.

Naturally, the internet did what it does best: react. Some were genuinely touched by his words, while others joked about his growing interest in Gracie. One user asked why he’s “obsessed” with her. Another simply wondered aloud why he’s posting her again. Whether they actually know each other remains unclear, but it’s obvious that he sees something special in her work and now, apparently, in her birthmark too.

Both artists are currently busy with their own tours. Drake cancelled his concert in Manchester, while Gracie is holding it down in California with shows at the Kia Forum. Still, fans continue to dream about a possible musical crossover, especially now that there’s this unexpected personal link between them.

Drake turning something he used to hate into a source of pride is a small moment, but it clearly hit a nerve. It shows that even someone as established as him can be influenced by someone else’s quiet confidence. And whether or not anything comes from this newfound connection with Gracie Abrams, one thing’s for sure: his fans are paying close attention.
