Drake is never too shy to share his admiration for the late singer Aaliyah. In fact, he tattoo’d the beauty’s face on his back! During an interview with Tim Westwood, the “Take Care” singer hinted at a posthumous collaboration with Aaliyah, saying “I have some great Aaliyah news coming soon. Some special things.”

Drake featured Aaliyah’s vocals on his debut album Thank Me Later and the song was an instant hit. When asked about rumors of the collaboration, Drake replied:

“Just some special things, you know. Great things for music, period.”
