Was Drake the Lucky Buyer of Michael Jackson’s White Glove Encrusted with Crystals?

It’s possible that Drake owns Michael Jackson’s iconic white glove, which is encrusted with crystals.

Did Drake Purchase Michael Jordan’s Replica Glove?


Drake, until Monday (Oct. 17), had the most No. 1 songs by a male solo artist on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, but now he has tied Michael Jackson’s record. Drizzy shared three images of himself on Instagram, each one showing him wearing a glove reminiscent of Michael Jackson’s. Drake also shared the news of his success on his Instagram Story by reposting a tweet about it.

On top of the post, he wrote, “‘Sicko Mode’ technically made 14, but they didn’t count my feature, so we got work to do.”

A subsequent IG Story showed him with a gloved hand carrying a wine glass. The glove looks like the one Michael Jackson wore when he sang “Billie Jean” at the Grammys in 1983 and on his 1984 Victory Tour; Swarovski crystals adorn its surface. Drake also posted a photo of his daughter Aubrey dressed like Michael Jackson. The “Rich Flex” rapper also uploaded a photo of Michael Jordan wearing an OVO hoodie that was digitally altered to depict him wearing the same glove. He also uploaded a second photo of himself wearing the white glove while carrying a martini glass.


The late fashion designer Bill Whitten’s custom-made glove for Michael Jackson has been up for auction more than once. Wanda Kelley, a collector from Los Angeles, purchased it in 2010 for $190,000. It went back up for auction in February of last year and sold for $123,000 that very month.

Drake is no stranger to purchasing stuff from the collections of renowned people. He spent $2.5 million in January on Pharrell’s old jewelry collection, which he had auctioned off. Drake dropped over a million dollars in July for a one-of-a-kind ring that belonged to Tupac Shakur. His It’s All a Blur Tour merch was similarly influenced by Michael Jackson’s Dangerous World Tour merch from 1992.
