The NBA world noticed the interaction and adored Adonis while also worrying if Drake’s “curse” would strike again. Fans wrote, “Not the Drake curse. Keep your bets away from our team.” and “Drake about to jinx us”. A fan believed it was over for the Suns now, “Its over dear Phoenix Suns fans 😃 keep watching your lose dumba”. One fan wanted no part in the Drake effect, “Oh hell no we don’t need the Drake effect”

Fans also loved Devin Booker’s interaction with Drake’s son Adonis, “Love the class and acknowledgment // tap given to Drake’s son. The kid smiled.”

Drake’s “Curse” became a rage on the internet when people started observing that any team or athlete Drake backs, suffers a huge downfall in the coming years. It started with Drake becoming the Raptors’ global ambassador in 2013. The Raptors had a great team, but always fell short of getting past King James in the playoffs. Drake’ “curse” also struck Serena Williams, Conor McGregor, and Anthony Joshua, who all lost in huge upsets after the Grammy-winning artist picked them to win.

Drake’s “Curse” strikes again

To everyone’s shock, Drake’s “Curse” claimed another victim tonight. The Phoenix Suns ended their 7-game winning streak after losing 112-105 to the Toronto Raptors. Devin Booker and Co. were in great form prior to this game, but could not deliver tonight. Booker scored only 8 points, his worst performance of this season. It cannot be a mere coincidence that Booker had his worst game after his meeting with Drake.

Booker has had an incredible season so far, averaging 29.4 points and 8.9 assists this season. But something was not clicking for the Suns’ star tonight. Maybe it was the incredible defense by the Raptors or the aftermath of the Drake meetup, but Booker had nothing going in his favor. Phoenix’s loss will only fuel the Drake “Curse” on the internet, and fans will wait to see who it strikes next.
