The Grammy winner posted a picture on Instagram with the accessory in his hand which had a visible signature by the Smooth Criminal crooner.

According to the online community, Drake is attempting to be the next MJ of new era as he gave a tribute to the King of Pop in his new studio record.

One of the X users speculated about the singer: “He hates MJ and now he’s trying to be him… lol not gonna happen.”

Another netizen was of the opinion: “This man buys memories for fun.”

Meanwhile a third compared: “Someone with allegations involving kids buying something from someone who had allegations with kids as well.”

Why is Michael Jackson facing backlash?

Michael has been accused of having inappropriate bond with minors during his life; however, none of the claims have been proven in the court.

On the other hand, Kendrick Lamar dissed the musician with a track last year Not Like Us, calling Drake a paedophile.
