After hosting Saturday Night Live earlier this year, Drake is preparing to take the helm once again for the ESPYs Awards this week.

In an interview with Styleblazer, the "Draft Day" rapper shared how he plans to take over the show, his respect for LeBron James, and why he's currently "coasting" in the dating world.

Drake commented on LeBron's choice to head to Cleveland, and commended him for his essay titled"Coming Home."

"For the last week and a half I've probably been bothering LeBron as much as the press has trying to figure out what his decision is going to be," he said. "I think if we can give out an award at the ESPYS for incredible essay writing, I would definitely love to present that to him because I think what he just did was Patriotic in its own way, was courageous and was just, to me, I think it's going to be one of the most historic things of our generation. I'm just honored to know him and glad that I've gotten to, no pun intended, witness this moment for sure. I think it's an incredible thing."

He also played coy when it came to answering questions about his love life. Over the past few months, the artist has been linked to Rihanna. Reports claimed that the two broke off their relationship over his excessive love for her.

"Well, actually, my status hasn't changed, just to clear that up," he said. "I've always been out here coasting. But aside from that, the ESPYS is my main focus. When I commit to something, I don't let my focus stray."

Check out the ESPY Awards, airing Wednesday night at 9:00 pm EST on ESPN.
