“Drake Is for Real an NBA Wife”: 5x Grammy Winner Catches Strays From Fans After Bringing Out $158,253,000 Worth All-Star’s Unreleased Sneakers

Several hip-hop artists have influenced the lifestyles of NBA athletes, ingraining themselves into the league’s culture. On the other hand, the athletes provided the artists an elite insight into the NBA world. These ties between the two worlds have been an age old phenomenon. However, these ties run the deepest for the legendary rapper, Drake.

The 5-time Grammy winner has been on his iconic “It’s All A Blur” concert tour lately. While one can assume the rapper may not have the time in his busy schedule to catch up with NBA athletes, Drake has still kept his ties with the league intact. He recently copped a $158,253,000 worth All-Star’s unreleased sneakers on his show, further proving his connections. However, neither the 5-time Grammy Award winner nor the sneakers received any mercy from fans.

Drake proves that his ties run deep

Drake has been one of the closest members of the entertainment industry to the NBA for years. Be it grabbing lunch with LeBron James or catching up with Kevin Durant during his workout, Drizzy cannot stay away from the league. However, turns out his connections run much deeper than one can imagine.

If you are familiar with Drake’s “wet like I’m Book” lyric in his Grammy-nominated track, Sicko Mode, you must be aware of his admiration for the Phoenix Suns guard, Devin Booker. However, Drake’s friendship with the $158,253,000 worth All-Star has now brought him some unforeseen benefits. The 5-time Grammy Winner recently brought out the 3-time All-Star’s unreleased pair of Nike sneakers in his iconic World Tour.

Champagne Papi sported the Orange Nike Book in his concert in Arizona, much to the fans’ surprise. This came in just a night after bringing the man himself, Devin Booker out on the Glendale’s Desert Diamond Arena stage. This interaction sent fans into a frenzy as they cheered on their hometown hero, Booker.

Drake’s two-night Phoenix stop delivered every bit of thrill that fans expected. Apart from Drake’s all-time hits setting the stage ablaze, his interaction with the 26-year-old Booker further excited the fans. However, Drizzy’s shoes did not receive the best of responses. Fans berated Drake as well as Booker’s signature shoe line after the 36-year-old brought them out in his concert. Evidently, Booker has some work to do on his shoes.

Fans do not seem pleased with Booker’s sneakers

Drizzy’s concert may have been a smash-hit but his shoes did not please the fans. After bringing out Booker’s unreleased signature sneakers, Drake proved that his ties with the NBA run deep. However, this did not fare well with the fans who berated Champagne Papi and his decision to cop the Book 1s brutally.

Fans remarked on Drake’s close connection with the NBA. “Drake is for real an NBA wife,” they said. Some fans added to the criticism, saying “Drake doing too much nowadays.” Fans then attacked Booker’s signature shoes, saying “Terrible shoe for a terrible dresser.”

They further mentioned, “They look uncomfortable af lol”. Users also hilariously mentioned the infamous “Drake curse”. “Welp there goes booker with the Drake curse,” they stated.

Devin Booker may have to work on his shoe following the fans’ reaction. However, Drake’s decision to cop the unreleased Book did not go as planned.
