Drake’s Boeing 767 private jet is trending on social media because it’s getting a remodel.
After laying low since Kendrick Lamar’s diss anthem “Not Like Us” against him has dominated the airwaves since its May 4 release, the Toronto rapper recently revealed the impending redesign on Instagram, with artist’s renditions showcasing a new message on the exterior: “Chances are she’s on board.” This playful update follows the first iteration’s message, “If you’re reading this we left,” a nod to his 2015 mixtape “If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late.”
Old Plane, New Look
The new look sports a more dramatic look with an overcast sky and lightning.
Inside, the new look will boast three private suites, two living rooms, a business lounge, an entertainment room, and a bathroom with a shower. The interior is adorned with gold and wood accents, carpeted floors, and beige and light purple furnishings.
