$120,000: Who now owns Michael Jackson’s famous glove?

The rumor spreads, grows, and comes to life through a unique album cover. A release that’s making the news, an album that became the most-streamed of 2026 on Spotify in just 24 hours, and an artist who has likely just given himself the best gift of all.

Let’s untangle the threads.

Drake has just simultaneously released three albums: "Habibti," "Maid of Honor," and "Iceman." And if you thought that was already a feat, you’re in for more surprises. The Canadian rapper, in addition to propelling "Iceman" to the ranks of the most-streamed albums of 2026 on Spotify (in just 24 hours), has managed to turn heads with the album’s cover art.

It’s a cover like no other, featuring the iconic Michael Jackson’s white glove, sparkling with Swarovski crystals. A detail that reportedly cost the artist $120,000. The ultimate pop culture accessory, the glove first appeared in 1983–1984. Originally designed to hide the superstar’s vitiligo patches, it quickly became an absolute stylistic signature (by far one of the most famous).

And if the information turns out to be true, it’s no coincidence. This year, Drake has indeed joined the King of Pop in music history, matching his all-time record for the most singles to reach number one on the U.S. charts.

A nod that joins many others, since Drake, from the start of his career, has never stopped playing with “Michael Jackson” codes. The legend’s influence seeps through, to the point of becoming a direct lineage. While he claims in interviews to be the “Michael Jackson of his generation,” the Canadian doesn’t hesitate to blend ultra-pop choruses with authentic rap verses. So that the legacy lives on.
