Drake Acquires Rare Signed Michael Jackson Album

It’s no secret that Drake has a passion for collecting music memorabilia, and his latest acquisition is a true gem. The rapper has reportedly purchased an incredibly rare Michael Jackson album, adding another significant piece to his already vast collection. This isn’t just any album; it’s signed by both Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones and even features a unique hand-drawn sketch by the King of Pop himself.

A Coveted Piece of Music History

According to collector Alexander Bitar, this particular album is considered the rarest Michael Jackson album in existence. Its provenance traces back to Jackson’s assistant tour manager, Nelson Hayes, adding to its historical significance. This acquisition is particularly noteworthy as Drake and Michael Jackson are currently tied for the most No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 by a male solo artist, with 13 each.

With Drake gearing up for the release of his ninth studio album, ‘ICEMAN,’ and potentially surpassing Jackson’s record, this memorabilia piece feels especially fitting. His recent singles, “Which One” featuring Central Cee and “What Did I Miss?,” have already given fans a glimpse into his new project, with the latter even touching on his ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar.

Drake’s Growing Memorabilia Collection

This isn’t the first time Drake has made headlines for his impressive memorabilia purchases. Just recently, he showcased 2Pac’s Death Row Records chain from the ‘All Eyez On Me’ cover, which he apparently acquired ahead of his European tour dates. His collection spans across iconic figures in music history, solidifying his status as a major collector.

Drake’s passion for music history extends beyond collecting; he’s also deeply involved in current music industry battles. His lawsuit against Universal Music Group, alleging defamation and manipulation of Kendrick Lamar’s diss track success, is ongoing. A recent court ruling granted him permission to view Kendrick’s contract, indicating his determination to pursue the case.
