Rapper Drake was born and raised in Toronto, Canada he loves the city more than anything in the world and he would do anything to support the city. So when the opportunity to team up with the NBA team Toronto Raptor he was all for it. He became the team global ambassador. The rapper was worried about his fans reaction to the news because he feels sports fans differ from music fans. Sport is a different type of appreciation and when people from other genres start coming in you do not know how it going to go still Drake felt the union made sense. The rapper/singer/actor/now host will take the stage at the 2014 ESPY to hand out award for Excellence in Sports Performance. Drake will serve as host business partner and consultant to the Toronto Raptors beginning with the 2014-2015 season.
