While talking to the fans during Nike’s 50th anniversary, he felt great honor to represent Nike; he was also wearing a Nike jacket. “It’s really and truly an honor. When you put things into perspective, you know Adidas has Kanye (West) I think. Nike, we have LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Giannis (Antetokounmpo), Michael Jordan,” Drake said.

“The greatest creative mind of all time, Virgil Abloh, rest in peace. We have Cristiano Ronaldo, we have Serena Williams, we have Tiger (Woods) and I’m pretty sure Reebok has Tyga; so, we are pretty good,” he further said.
