Drake has been challenged to a battle of the best manicure by his self-proclaimed “spirit animal,” Trinidad James.
On Thursday (July 6), the “All Gold Everything” rapper briefly chatted with TMZ, where he unveiled bejeweled fingernails while commenting on Drizzy’s recent 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.”

“Next he finna get his toes polished,” one person wrote. “N-gga got his hair and nails did,” someone else added. “cuh got the little girl special all he missing is beads,” another said with a laughing emoji.
Meanwhile, earlier this week, Drake kicked off his It’s All A Blur Tour in Chicago, where he became the unsuspecting victim of a thrown cell phone.
On Wednesday (July 5), a video surfaced on TikTok, showing a cell phone being hurled at Champagne Papi as he performed a rendition of Ginuwine‘s “So Anxious,” on the tour’s opening night at Chicago’s United Center.

In the clip, Drizzy, who dodged the toss, looked perplexed as he continued on with his set, unfazed. “What was that?” yelled a bystander off-stage. While another confirmed it was “a cell phone.”
