Drake is hosting the ESPYs next week, so he was doing some media rounds about the event, including a conference call where he was asked by Complex Sports if the Cavs were now his favorite team because LeBron sign there.
Here is what Drizzy had to say.
“Well, first of all, I’d like to say that despite what everyone on the Internet thinks, I do not team jump. In the past I’ve always supported the player and not the institution—unless we’re talking about the Kentucky Wildcats and the Toronto Raptors; I will never stray from them. But whether it comes to soccer or football or basketball, I have a lot of friends that play for a lot of teams. I’m not team jumping. I’m a supportive friend.”
“Of course, I’m gonna go watch games in Cleveland. If not for LeBron—who I said is a brother to me, we’ve got three kids from Toronto on one team, plus Manziel who is part of our family and our brother. I definitely have to look into some real estate in Cleveland and spend some months of the year out there. Like I said, my teams will always forever be who they are but I will support the group who has shifted to Cleveland.”
It is a reasonable answer, but it isn’t going to stop the internet memes and photoshops, so I hope he doesn’t worry too much about it.
