A Tour Of Drake’s $242 Million Private Jet While It’s In The Air
Drake’s $185m private jet has a hidden message under the belly of the aircraft
With a net worth that’s fairly quickly approaching the half billion dollar mark, Drake can spend money on just about anything he wants, and in fact he does.
Even though his private jet cost him nothing, it was a gift, he spent a large chunk of money to have it customized.
And there’s one detail that stands out.

Drake’s private jet was gifted to him by a Canadian cargo jet company as part of an endorsement deal.
The jet in question is a 767, which is absurdly large for one that’s privately owned.
The 767-200, with a whopping 206 ton cargo capacity and a 20,000 gallon fuel tank, served for 23 years as a cargo plane.

The plane was a gift from Canadian cargo carrier Cargojet back in 2019.
It’s not entirely clear when the relationship between Drake and the cargo carrier began.
However, a Cargojet spokesperson confirmed that the carrier service has had a lengthy relationship with the 36-year-old.
Apparently, Cargojet has transported supplies and equipment for his tours in the past.
However, before he could use it as a private jet, Drake had to have it repurposed and customized.

The aircraft may have been old, but Drake’s renovations were extensive and thorough.
The customization was carried out by the late designer, Virgil Abloh, who also worked with Mercedes in the past, who decided, along with Drake, to rename the plane ‘Air Drake’.
Inside the cabin there’s leather armchairs, luxury bathrooms, and a full kitchen.
From the outside, the plane almost looks like any other, although the clasped hands on the tailfin and the OVO Owl painted on the front door give away who it belongs to.

It still carries the massive Cargojet name that has been emblazoned across the side for more than two decades, but it has gotten a fresh coat of paint to spruce it up.
Air Drake is sure to make a great home away from home for the iconic rapper, as he takes on international tours.
Mind you, the cherry on top of the cake is the decal that adorns the belly of the plane.
It reads: “If you’re reading this we left”.
Drake has been flying in luxury through the skies in his $185 million private jet, dubbed “Air Drake.”
The Boeing 767 private plane, which was gifted to the “Hotline Bling” rapper in 2019 for free through a partnership with Cargojet, seats 30 people and features a custom paint job designed by designer Virgil Abloh, who died after a battle with cancer in 2021.

Cargojet’s president and CEO, Ajay Virmani, said the company was very excited to partner with Drake, whose real name is Aubrey Graham.
“We have had a lengthy relationship with Drake and this partnership has grown organically between both parties. Cargojet and Drake are both great Canadian successes, we are thrilled to be partnering together,” Virmani said in 2019.

Drake’s private jet comfortably seats nearly three dozen people, with plush velvet sofas and luxe leather armchairs.
The “Controlla” emcee has spent time with several of his friends on the aircraft, often enjoying a meal or playing cards on one of the many tables.
The aircraft has three private suites.
The jet features three private suites, two living rooms and a bathroom that comes with a shower.
In one of the rooms is a king-sized bed, which is similar to the one found in an alleged leaked tape of Drake, that has a curved, light-colored headboard.

The outside of the Grammy winner’s plane is covered in a unique sky blue and white cloud-like design, which was created by Abloh.
The tail section of the jet is adorned with a white owl, which is the logo for Drake’s brand, October’s Very Own (OVO), while the side of the plane near the wing reads, “AIR DRAKE.”

Under the belly of the aircraft, which you can see when it flies over you, are the words, “‘IF YOU’RE READING THIS WE LEFT,’” which references Drake’s 2015 mixtape, “If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late.”
