Rap sensation Drake has again stirred the media with his latest facial tattoo, photographed during a weekend outing.
Positioned above his brow, the tattoo features the word "miskeen," causing a wave of speculation and raised eyebrows.
What Is Miskeen?
In Arabic and Amharic, "miskeen" translates to "poor" or "pathetic."
However, in Drake's hometown of Toronto, it is commonly used to characterize someone as "sweet and innocent," as reported by NOW Toronto.
The intriguing word choice has left fans puzzled, as Champagne Papi has yet to provide any clarification or context regarding the meaning behind his new ink.
The ambiguity has led to various interpretations, with some finding it ironic that the rapper, known for his extravagant lifestyle, might be labeling himself as "poor."
Social Media Reacts
Social media has been abuzz with comments, with one individual on X, formerly known as Twitter, sarcastically noting, "The dude lives in a $150 million mansion. If Drake is miskeen, what's the word for the rest of us?"
Another chimed in, highlighting the stark contrast between Drake's lifestyle and the word's connotation.
Drake's opulent lifestyle is far from the term "miskeen."

Is Drake Poor?
The "In My Feelings" hitmaker owns a lavish mansion in Toronto, reportedly valued at $100 million.
This sprawling 50,000-square-foot property, aptly named "The Embassy," was showcased during Drake's cover shoot with Architectural Digest in April 2020.
The mansion boasts a marble interior and features modern Art Deco finishes. It includes a basketball court meeting NBA regulations, adding to the luxurious ambiance.
He even described the property as "An overwhelming high luxury," emphasizing the grand scale conveyed through room sizes, materials, and intricate details of floors and ceilings.
The award-winning musician also expressed his long-term vision for the mansion: "I wanted it to have a monumental scale and feel. It will be one of the things I leave behind, so it had to be timeless and strong."
The rapper's commitment to his roots is evident, as he built the home to stand for more than 100 years in his hometown.
In addition to his Toronto mansion, Drake owns an impressive 18,000-square-foot Beverly Hills home valued at $65 million. In a move showcasing his luxurious lifestyle, the "IDGAF" put the Beverly Hills property up for rent in October 2021, with an estimated monthly rent of $215,000.
