Drake and Toronto. Toronto and Drake. Few artist-city relationships in the 21st century have been more symbiotic, as the rapper has risen to worldwide fame spinning tales of urban revelry and heartbreak over icy, wintry beats.
Along the way, the rapper has kept his beloved hometown teams close to his heart. Drake has served as the Raptors’ global ambassador for over a decade, and slapped a picture of former Blue Jays outfielder Joe Carter’s iconic World Series-home run on the cover of his 2015 single “Back to Back.”Tuesday evening, however, Drake took his affection to the next level. In conjunction with celebrity jeweler Alex Moss, the musician unveiled a chain celebrating Toronto’s three Big Four sports teams — the Raptors, Blue Jays and Maple Leafs.
The chain, which also depicts Toronto’s CN Tower, drew a variety of reactions on social media.
