Drake, the musical savant of the modern era kick-started his ‘It’s All a Blur’ tour in Chicago. The first concert was wild, the crowd raving as the Canadian rapper and 21 Savage travel to promote their latest album. It was a typical Drake night, with the singer practically shaking the United Center with the number of fans jumping at the arena. Yet, it had some atypical moments, one especially stood out. It somehow involved Michael Jordan and his iconic shoe brand, ‘Air Jordan’.

Fans hurled some of their clothing at the ‘God’s Plan’ artist, causing an interruption in the show. But while Drake appreciated most of what was thrown on stage, one possession left him puzzled.

To make the experience unforgettable, they resorted to an old tradition at Drake’s concerts.

His followers blasted their undergarments at the savvy music artist. The stage practically filled up with multi-color attires. In ordinary fashion, Champagne Papi began collecting them. However, as he carefully selected the ones to make his ‘collection’, an unusual item came rocketing to the stage.

The artist dodged it, even adding a touch of embellishing to create the dramatics.

“The f**k,” said Drake with obvious disbelief in his voice. “This is not what we want to see up, a big a** shoe,”. 

Yes, it was indeed footwear. But it wasn’t just a regular running shoe. A fan of the rapper threw his black Air Jordan 4 on stage. It explains why the 36-year-old was as baffled as he was. Luckily, it wasn’t one of his very own signature shoes with the $10 billion brand.
