Drake & The Toronto Raptors Celebrate "Drake Night"

Great honors for Aubrey Drake Graham as the Toronto Raptors honored their hometown hero on Saturday evening with “Drake Night.” As the club’s newly appointed Global Ambassador, Drizzy attended the Raptors game against the Brooklyn Nets at the Air Canada Centre after. He gave away an exclusive Octobers Very Own x Raptors collaboration shirts as well as two pairs of his OVO x Air Jordan sneakers to lucky fans during his halftime set with DJ Future the Prince after announcing the team’s lineup over his song “Trophies” meeting with the media to discuss a wide range of Raptors-related topics at a press conference. In regards to this special event, he said:

“What a morbid start to this. I’m honoured. I feel great. Tonight’s not really about me, despite the title of the night. I think it’s just more about the momentum in the city, bringing the city together, how well these guys have been playing, honouring this squad that is really finding each other, finding stability with each other and the revamp of this team. Since the announcement, there’s a new energy that everybody is feeling. That’s really what tonight’s about. I wanted to black out the stadium, give out the t-shirts. I’m going to DJ at halftime. I’ve got gifts and tricks up my sleeve. I’m going to announce the players with my own little twist. It’s a fun night that I was able to curate and facilitate. Other than that, it’s more about Toronto and this team and how well they’re doing.”
