 The chain started with the appearance of LeBron James and Jayson Taytum at Drake’s concerts over the last few months. New teammates and close buddies Kevin Durant and Devin Booker have also graced the occasion recently. And with the announcement of the album “For All the Dogs” ahead of the upcoming championship season, it’s safe to say Drake has piqued everyone’s interest.

However, in the 2019 NBA Finals, when Durant’s Warriors came up against Drake’s beloved hometown Raptors, the rapper would often be seen taunting the 2x Finals MVP from the sidelines every time he missed a shot. The Raptors would go on to win their maiden NBA Championship that year, helped by an untimely injury to Durant. After the series, Drake claimed that it was all in the spirit of fun, and the pair have continued with their friendship. They remain close friends to this day, and Durant has been spotted on Drake’s Instagram feed multiple times. Their friendship has now blossomed into a business relationship as well, with Durant being given A&R credits (Artists & Repertoire) on Drake’s latest album “For All the Dogs”. 

Devin Booker, who walked out with Drake at his concert 30 days ago, gave his fellow All-Star a shout-out on Instagram, too. The Phoenix Suns Shooting Guard posted Drake’s post to his story and captioned it with the words “perfect timing” as if to indicate that the album couldn’t have come at a better time than the start of the NBA Season, when players need their pre-game songs.

Devin Booker made a grand entry at Drake’s concert

 The appearance of Pheonix Sun’s star player Devin Booker mesmerized the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale. Well, Devin Booker has his way of driving people baffling, but this time he chose to make his mark off-court.
