Unfortunately for Drake, beating Quavo in a half-court shooting contest was not part of God’s plan. Just before the duo took the stage on Sunday in Kansas City, Drizzy and Quavo – one-third of the hip-hop group Migos – made a whopping $10,000 bet over a half-court shot. Quavo stepped up to the plate first […]

Anyone who gets name-dropped in any of Champagne Papi’s songs can take a walk into the streets banging their chests and acting like some kind of royalty. If you see Phoenix Suns Devin Booker doing any of that, it’s because he got his name immortalized by Travis Scott and Drake in the song SICKO MODE. […]

The intersection between sports and music, more specifically hip-hop and basketball, is always entertaining. Drake continues to be one of the central figures of that intersection. Despite his affinity for his hometown Toronto Raptors, Drake shows love to NBA players from all around the league. The most recent player Drake “shouted out” was DeMarcus Cousins […]

DeMar DeRozan’s connection with hip-hop star Drake runs deep. When news broke out that DeRozan was being sent to the San Antonio Spurs, he immediately went to Drake’s house and talked for hours. Speaking with Chris Haynes of ESPN, DeRozan went all out with his feelings about the shocker of a trade which sent him […]

The internet is not going to forget the Toronto Raptor’s unexpected decision to ship off DeMar DeRozan anytime soon. A Redditor has recently succeeded in giving readers the feels, after revising the lyrics of Drake’s “Marvin’s Room” in an attempt to encapsulate the emotions going through DeRozan’s head right now. Here’s the full transcript of […]

Drake is the most famous fan of the Toronto Raptors. He’s often found sitting courtside at the games of his hometown team and he’s always in the building during the playoffs. Earlier today, he took to Instagram to thank DeMar DeRozan for his time in Toronto while simultaneously welcoming Kawhi Leonard. https://www.instagram.com/p/BlYnf_ZnZRJ/?hl=en&taken-by=champagnepapi Drake expresses a […]

After being humiliated by LeBron James and his Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round of the Playoffs fans of the Toronto Raprots had to find a scapegoat. Dwayne Casey was the obvious choice and despite being voted as the Coach of the Year, the franchise still opted to part ways with the 61-year-old Indiana native. […]

Drake loves his Toronto Raptors — like he loves the other 97 (and counting) other teams he cheers for — so just imagine the degree of pain he had to go through watching LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers subject the Raptors to four games of medieval-style torture in the Eastern Conference semifinals. The torment […]

Drake is a fixture courtside at Toronto Raptors games, and he has always done his fair share of talking on the sidelines. But with his beloved Raptors down 2-0 to the Cleveland Cavaliers, there hasn’t been a ton to trash talk about. But that doesn’t mean that people are afraid to chirp at the vocal […]

After a heated post-game exchange with the Cleveland Cavalier’s reserve center Kendrick Perkins following Game 1, passionate Toronto Raptors fan and team ambassador Drake hasn’t exactly endeared himself to Cavs fans. Or just basketball fans in general — who simply couldn’t resist poking fun at several shots of the Canadian’s sullen expression as his beloved […]

The NBA Playoffs truly bring out the intensity and passion out of not only the players, but also the fans – most notably, the celebrity fans.

The Washington Wizards failed to even their first-round series with the Toronto Raptors, as they fell victim again to the Eastern Conference’s top-seeded team in Game 2 on Tuesday, 130-119. The series is far from over, but this hurts a lot for Washington, who are now down 0-2 in the first round. The setback probably […]

Drake has been a regular presence along the Toronto Raptors sidelines. He’s a valuable presence for the Raptors. Not only because he’s a bigtime celebrity, but he also makes an effort to help the team by trash talking their foes. Recently, Drake called Kelly Oubre a bum as he jogged to the other side of […]

Washington Wizards forward Kelly Oubre is a lot of things, but for Toronto Raptors celebrity fan Drake, he is nothing more than a bum. How do we know this? Well, Drake called Oubre just that on Tuesday, when he was caught by cameras talking trash to Oubre during Game 2 of the first-round series between […]

John Wall, if you’re reading this, it’s too late.

Hip-hop star Drake has always been on the sidelines of NBA games. As the Toronto Raptors’ ambassador, he’s almost always present in their games and has even served as a guest announcer several times.

Over the last several months, the video game Fortnite has become one of the hottest crazes in the industry that has reached the sports world with many professional athletes partaking in the action.

Multi-platinum rapper and Toronto Raptors Global Ambassador Drake had a bold prediction during his very own “Drake Night,” noting the Houston Rockets’ 17-game win streak would come to an end. “By the looks of it, this win streak is over,” said Drake before the game.

Drake and Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown may not have much in common, but there is at least one thing. They are both compassionate, charitable guys. After hearing about what life was like for a housekeeper working at the Fontainebleau in Miami Beach, they decided to something that would put a smile on her […]

In the last few days, there has been a lot made of rapper Drake apparently donning some tattoos that feature the numbers and nicknames of both Golden State Warriors All-Stars Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry.

Last night, the Golden State Warriors were able to close out a tight game against the Toronto Raptors, beating them 127-125.

The fans were very involved in the game, and Canadian rapper Drake […]

It’s no secret that Drake is the biggest – if not one of the biggest – bandwagon sports fan in history. He just does not have the concept of being loyal to one team. Drake has cheered or donned jerseys for/of the Kentucky Wildcats basketball team, the Texas A&M football program, the Pittsburgh Penguins, the […]

The Toronto Raptors have now won back-to-back games after drubbing the visiting Charlotte Hornets at Air Canada Centre Wednesday night, 126-113.

The Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics may be the favorites to make it all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals this year, but for Drake, he believes another team could reach that far and knock off one of the two aforementioned teams. The rapper and record producer recently predicted that the Toronto Raptors will […]

LeBron James has one year left on his current deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers, which means it’s high time to suspect that the four-time MVP would leave The Land. After all, he’s done that before and he’s already delivered on his promise to quench the city’s thirst for an NBA title last year. Among the […]

The motto in Toronto these days seems to be “Bring back Vince Carter”.

Drake […]

It’s good to be a Toronto Raptors fan nowadays. The team has four-consecutive playoff appearances to date and has an exciting roster core heading into the 2017-18 season consisting of a pair of three-time All-Stars in forward DeMar DeRozan and recently re-signed point guard Kyle Lowry, as well as three-time NBA All-Defensive First Team member, Serge Ibaka.

Despite cruising toward their league-high 14th straight win against a depleted New Orleans Pelicans team, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green would have no mercy on his fellow teammates — not when it comes to clothes at least.

Grammy-nominated rapper Drake showed up at the Toronto Raptors‘ “Drake Night” with an eye-catching black long-sleeved shirt with ESPN/ABC sideline reporter Doris Burke‘s face emblazoned on it.

The NBA season is right around the corner, and that means Toronto Raptors ambassador Drake‘s presence is back on the NBA scene too.
