Drake is not only good friend of J. Cole, heâs also one of his biggest fans.Â
The Certified Lover Boy was spotted Saturday night at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre, where Cole and the Scarborough Shooting Stars took on the Hamilton Honey Badgers. Photos and videos showed Drake sitting courtside, rocking Coleâs official jersey.Â
The Shooting Stars fell to the Honey Badgers, 69-84. It marked the teamâs third loss of its inaugural season.
Cole inked a deal with Canadian Elite Basketball League earlier this year, and made his official debut with the Shooting Stars in late May. Though Drizzy didnât attend Coleâs first CEBL game in person, he made sure to catch all the action from home.Â
âItâs real @scarboroughshootingstars. My brother just checked in,â he captioned photos of the gameâs broadcast. âCole World. Legendary Shit. First game on now.â
Drakeâs passion for basketball has been well documented over the years. The Grammy-winning rapper has been the Raptorsâ global ambassador since 2013, and is known to pal around with some of the NBAâs biggest stars. Drakeâs Toronto mansion also houses a full-size basketball court, dubbed âThe Sanctuary,â where frequently hosts pick-up games; practices with his son, Adonis; and shows off his trick shots.
