Drake's It's All A Blur tour may be one of the most popular tours of the last decade but NBAer Derrick Rose didn't seem to be all that impressed with the show.

At one of the two shows in Glendale, Arizona, Rose was recorded by his wife Alaina Rose playing chess on his phone. "When I make my husband come outside," she said on IG stories, with a flurry of crying emojis.

Though the footage was blurry, he seemed to be in a difficult position as there were many opposing pieces surrounding the few he had left.

In a reply to Complex's tweet showing Rose's chess game, one user pointed out a bar Drake rapped in his verse on "Pound Cake."

"Took a while, got the jokers out of the deck now / I'm holdin' all the cards and n— wanna play chess now," he rapped in the song.

Sounds about right. 🤣 pic.twitter.com/KyIYoCP5l4

Though Rose wasn't quite enthralled with the concert, he might have a change of heart on September 22 when Drake is slated to release his forthcoming album For All The Dogs.
