Renowned rapper Drake is known for his love for the Toronto Raptors. The moment that closely defines his admiration for his home team would probably be his antics during the 2019 Finals series when the Raptors defeated Stephen Curry‘s Golden State Warriors. However, Drake ended up making a huge claim even before his favorite team made it to the finals. During the Eastern Conference Finals against Milwaukee, the Bucks heiress Mallory Edens donned a Pusha T t-shirt beside NFL legend Aaron Rodgers, prompting a bold reaction from Drake.
