Over the years, Drake has shown his admiration for his favorite athletes by showing love online or rocking their jerseys. He's also caught flack because of his sports buddies. In an interview with Complex, the rapper addresses the bandwagon talk and his love for Skylar Diggins.
"Well, first of all, I'd like to say that despite what everyone on the Internet thinks, I do not team jump," he said. "In the past I've always supported the player and not the institution—unless we're talking about the Kentucky Wildcats and the Toronto Raptors; I will never stray from them. But whether it comes to soccer or football or basketball, I have a lot of friends that play for a lot of teams. I'm not team jumping. I'm a supportive friend."
He also says that he plans to support LeBron James in his latest move back to Cleveland, and possibly check out some real estate.
"Of course, I'm gonna go watch games in Cleveland," he said. " If not for LeBron—who I said is a brother to me, we've got three kids from Toronto on one team, plus Manziel who is part of our family and our brother. I definitely have to look into some real estate in Cleveland and spend some months of the year out there. Like I said, my teams will always forever be who they are but I will support the group who has shifted to Cleveland. For Cleveland, a place that I've been to time and time again when I've been to touring, it's gonna be great for them, I'd love to see them grow."
As for his overwhelming love for Skylar Diggins goes, the "Trophies" rapper says he's never met Skylar and he most likely never will.
"I've never met Skylar, but I'm sure it'll be extremely awkward if she does show up. She probably won't though...her boyfriend will probably have her tied down to a chair that night."
