This is not the first time the Trinidadian-American recording artist has flaunted a fresh mani.
Last month, TMZ caught up with the “All Gold Everything” rapper, when he unveiled bejeweled fingernails while commenting on Drizzy’s headline-making clip, cut, and polish.

“A lot of people don’t know, I’m secretly one of Drake’s spirit animals — I’m Drake’s spirit animal,” said James when asked his thoughts in regards to Drizzy debuting a pink mani ahead of his It’s All A Blur Tour with 21 Savage.
“I love that for him,” he admitted. “It’s a lot of genders out here that people want to keep me boxed in about and I mean… hey the fact that it’s not like I told him to do it. He’s doing it because he wants to do it.”

“Obviously, he is Drake. But let me tell you, this is an amazing thing to see,” he continued, before explaining that while the “One Dance” rhymer may have been the biggest name to rock the trend, yet, he’s in a league of his own.
“His nails ain’t better than mine. So, it don’t matter. He could do it however he want to do it. Ain’t none of them boys got issues with me — it’s no smoke. Aesthetics is personal,” James said. “So, if he’s feeling comfortable. I’ve been feeling comfortable,” he added, referencing the stigma that’s typically associated with men rocking painted fingernails.

When asked whether Drake should take a leaf out of his book — go bold — the former Def Jam rapper revealed it would come at a cost. “If he wanna drop $7k — he got Chrome Heart Bentley — that ain’t no money. Tap in. Come to Brooklyn.”
Meanwhile, Sexyy Red recently had the rumor mill buzzing after she was spotted planting a wet one on Drizzy — which had fans wondering if there is a collaboration in the works.
