Toronto Blue Jays Crowns Five-Time Grammy Winner Drake with Prestigious Title in Recognition of Unprecedented MLB Milestone

Striking a chord resonating from the diamond to the recording studio, the ‘6 God’ is known for hitting milestones every now and then. In an extraordinary crossover between the rhythm of hip-hop and the heartbeat of home runs, the Toronto Blue Jays have crowned homegrown icon Drak with a special title.

The Canadian rapper Drake, who is known for his lyrical prowess and global influence, just added another feather to his crowded cap full of countless accolades. Who would’ve thought the Jays fan would be as famous in the ballparks as he is in the entertainment world? Let’s find out how Drake has earned a special place in the hearts of ballplayers and the games’ spectators.

Drake sure knows how to win hearts

Like other sports, MLB is also an avid follower of long-standing traditions of its history. And one such tradition is the walk-up songs. These are the songs that are played when a hitter or an ace is walking up to the plate or the mound. With the growth of hip-hop in recent years, many players have chosen songs like this to pump them up before they show their talent on the diamond.

And Drake, being the hip-hop icon, has 23 of his tracks used as walk-up songs by MLB players. Which is by far the most than any other artist from the entertainment world. And since such an achievement is worth celebrating, the Blue Jays took it upon themselves to crown their star. Hence, while replying to this milestone of Drake’s, Jays on Twitter crowned the Canadian-born rapper with the emoticon of a Goat. 

Considering the numerous achievements by Drake in the entertainment industry and now an MLB milestone, the iconic rapper probably deserves such a title, at least that is what the Jays believe.

The award-winning rapper is a huge fan of the Jays 

In the past, despite being a native of Toronto, Drake has pledged allegiance to an MLB team other than the Jays. However, as time passed, his fondness for the Jays increased tenfold. And now, Drake has done everything in his hands to make the Jays as famous as possible. Which includes his music festival’s product specially cured to give a hint of the Jays in majors. 

Notably, the product was an absolute hit among Drake and the Jays fans, selling out earlier than the team thought.
