Drake has gotten designer Virgil Abloh to redesign his private jet and that’s the kind of boujee energy we need.

The God’s Plan rapper’s private plane – dubbed Air Drake – was introduced to the world a while back, but he’s recently asked the Off-White fashion designer to give it a makeover.

Virgil uploaded a few snaps of the process, sharing what could be the biggest flex of the year so far.

He wrote: ‘The tail number is a problem and the FBO is a whole other story… ⁣@champagnepapi c/o ABLOH ENGINEERING.’

The new design is a nod to Drake’s Nothing Was The Same cover art, with blue skies and clouds covering the entire plane.

As the pandemic continues around the world, he might not be flying it anywhere any time soon.

Once the coronavirus travel restrictions lift, we’re sure Drake will be taking his plane to the skies immediately.

Drake first showed off his plane in May 2019, and he didn’t even pay a cent for it.

According to TMZ, CargoJet gifted the artist the used plane in exchange for publicity and it worked.

The renovation into the insane machine was estimated to cost between £64 million and £80 million, per E! Online.

Last year, President and CEO of Cargojet Ajay Virmani explained: ‘We are very excited to partner with Drake as our ambassador and assisting him with his logistical needs and requirements

‘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.’
