Summer Walker stunned her fans this week when she revealed that she tattooed her boyfriend’s name on her face.
The singer is currently dating rapper LVRD Pharaoh, whose real name is Larry. The ‘Girls Need Love’ hitmaker debuted their matching tattoos on Instagram.
“Bestfriend,” she wrote.

Summer Walker’s fans were shocked by the move, especially after the release of her new album, ‘Still Over It’.
The R&B star poured her heart out on the album, which many of her fans described as relatable and vulnerable.
She dropped the album following her break-up with London on da Track. Summer gave birth to their daughter in March.
Their romance came to an end a few months later. Summer’s new album is inspired by their rocky relationship.
Summer’s fans think her new face tattoo is proof that she still has a lot of healing to do.
“Girl you never gonna learn,” one Instagram user commented.
Another user added: “Summer I love you but this ain’t it sis… you haven’t even healed from the last relationship.”
Twitter users have also been sharing their thoughts on her new ink.
“Not Summer Walker giving us a whole album about how men aint s**t and then going and doing some wreckless sh** like tattoo a man’s name on her forehead? Girl, who TF is LARRY?? Bye,” a tweep posted.

Still Over it makes history
Despite receiving flak for her new face tattoo, Summer still has a lot to celebrate. ‘Still Over It’ was a major success when it dropped earlier this month.
It topped the Billboard 200 album chart. The last R&B album by a female artist to claim the #1 spot was Solange’s ‘Seat at the Table’ in 2016.
All 18 songs on the album made an appearance on the Billboard Hot 100. She is one of only two female artists to have 18 songs on the chart simultaneously.
Taylor Swift’s ‘Lover’ album achieved the feat in 2019.
Summer’s fans are split over her new tattoo, but they all can agree that her next album is going to be amazing.
“We finna have another good album after this,” an Instagram user commented.
