Drake gets Shai Gilgeous-Alexander tattoo to cover a LeBron James one

In the latest sign that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has turned into a global brand, Drake recently sported some new ink inspired by the NBA's MVP. The two Canadians are among the most successful individuals in their respective industries.

At a show, Drake had Gilgeous-Alexander's jersey tattooed on his arm. It replaced LeBron James' old high school jersey that was previously on the musician's arm. You can research it yourself, but Drake and James have beefed over the last year because the latter supported Kendrick Lamar.

Meanwhile, Gilgeous-Alexander has shown love for Drake in his superstar ascension. Any time you walk into a Thunder shootaround or practice, there's a coin flip chance you'll hear one of his songs being played. When the musician performed in OKC last year, the MVP winner starred in a hype video.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are fresh off an NBA championship. Gilgeous-Alexander just had one of the greatest individual seasons ever with an MVP trophy and ring. Considering OKC will be a perennial contender for the foreseeable future, not bad to align yourself with one of the league's best players and teams.
