Rihanna is thanking Drake for his tribute to her at MTV’s Video Music Awards.
See Drake’s tattoo, Rihanna’s one and the original Instagram photo of the camo shark toy below.
At the VMAs afterparty, the pair were reportedly inseparable, and the “Hotline Bling” hitmaker was said not to be able to take his eyes off Rihanna.
Where did the inspiration for that tat come from, I hear you ask.
Apparently, the shark is a reference to one of their special dates when they visited an aquarium in Toronto and bought her a stuffed animal shark. Not only did this achievement win her even more affection from her Caribbean peoples, but her acceptance speech was quite impressive and heart warming.
Sources told TMZ Drake took Rihanna to an aquarium in Toronto last month, and bought her a toy shark as a souvenir, so she chose to have the tattoo as a permanent reminder of the trip.

“Also. I just found out you can zoom on IG- enjoy”. And it’s also because of you that I was able to pull off a night like this one, with 4 medley performances, 4 set productions, 4 outfits, 4 hair and makeup looks, and all in 4 days of rehearsal! I’m a lucky girl! Forever grateful to everyone involved creatively, from choreography all the way to wardrobe and production!’ To God be the Glory!
