Drake’s courtside seats on the Toronto Raptors‘ house sport Sunday evening underwent a novel alteration earlier than the sport.
The Raptors shared a picture of the chairs that included fake icicles dangling from them with the caption: “Drake’s seats froze.” It’s presumably a nod to Drake’s upcoming studio album, “Iceman,” which was initially rumored to be set for launch final yr. It will likely be his first solo album since fall 2023.
Drake favored the submit and shared a picture of the iced-out look on his Instagram story. The chairs are his spot when he attends Raptors’ video games at Scotiabank Arena, together with most notably in the course of the crew’s NBA Finals run in 2019.
The seats had been seemingly defrosted by Sunday’s tipoff and remained empty all through the evening because the Raptors defeated the Brooklyn Nets 136-101.
This is not the primary time the Raptors have labored with the Canadian rapper.
The franchise named him as its world ambassador in 2013, and he went on the quilt of Slam Magazine alongside with Raptors’ stars DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry in March 2016. Since 2015, Toronto has incorporated a black-and-gold colorway — a nod to Drake’s October’s Very Own model — although it was absent from this yr’s rotation. The Raptors even held a “Drake Night” in 2016.
With the Raptors again within the playoffs for the primary time since 2022, Drake will seemingly be again in his courtside seats — assuming they’ve thawed out.
