During a recent Drake show in Glendale, Arizona, Memphis Grizzlies' Derrick Rose was spotted playing chess on his phone.

In a video shared by his wife Alaina Rose via her Instagram Stories, D Rose appeared to be more than a little distracted by some gaming on his phone. "When I make my husband come outside," she wrote alongside crying emojis as she zoomed in on her husband playing chess as Drizzy performed.

Back in 2016, Drake actually brought Rose out onstage alongside his son PJ during a performance at Madison Square Garden. So perhaps he's just not into Drizzy's new stuff?

Drake's It's All a Blur Tour with 21 Savage has been garnering a lot of attention thanks to his antics, and some of his hilarious interactions with fans. Of particular note is the amount of bras he's been subjected to while performing, as plenty of fans have thrown their undergarments at the rapper between songs. In a post shared on Instagram this past week, the Canadian superstar posed alongside his neatly laid-out trophies from the tour so far.

At the start of the month, Drizzy finally announced the release date for his highly-anticipated new album For All the Dogs, which drops on Sept. 22 and boasts artwork by his son Adonis.

His father Dennis Graham recently shared his thoughts on the record, which he said he got to listen to in the dressing room ahead of one of his son's shows. "I must say that it is some of the best music that I've heard him do, and I am sure that every Drake fan throughout the entire world is going [to] feel this one," he wrote. Drake thanked his father in a comment and added, "I was so happy you loved it."

Lil Yachty, who is both a close friend and collaborator of Drake, has teased For All the Dogs on his podcast A Safe Place with MitchGoneMad. “It sounds current, you know? It sounds very current," he teased. I think some of the best Drake verses that I ever heard are on this album. … Some of the verses I’m just like, ‘Bruh, what’s wrong with you?’ You know what I’m saying? People gonna have a lot to say about some of his topics on this album. And I don’t think he does it on purpose, I think it’s just him—he just has a real...I will say he deals with some controversial things.”
