While Toronto Raptors fans were celebrating a massive Game 4 hometown win over the Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference Finals on Tuesday (May 21), it appears the game’s biggest winner was none other than the team ambassador Drake. The rapper was presented with a $550,000 custom OVO jacket by Raptors’ President, Masai Ujiri.
“We are so thrilled to have partnered with Garrison Bespoke to create this one-of-a-kind custom piece for [Drake],” wrote Diamond Foundry — who was responsible for icing out the jacket with 235 diamonds.
The jacket designer Garrison Bespoke notes that the inside of the jacket, which is the OVO crossover Jersey Drake himself designed, was made of fabric sourced from French mill House of Dormeuil’s private collection. It’s said to be one of the first examples of jersey cloth from the early 20th century.
Whether or not awarding Drake with such an opulent gift could ultimately jinx the team — as some fans have theorized — or perhaps keeping the league’s most A1 heckler’s energy up will remain to be seen in Milwaukee this Thursday (May 23) for Game 5.
Imagine what could be done with $550,000! This ain’t it for both the Raptors and Drake.
Imagine caring about this – You still mad pusha played himself for nothing yeah
Starving people in the world and you are giving a trash rapper a quarter million for doing nothing
Sorry half a mill
not drakes fault you mama smokes crack and has no money….
Math isn’t your strong point
-Drake
The Craptors are lucky they have Kawhi Leonard with them. Without him, they wouldn’t have made it this far. The Bucks will end them this round. If not, the Warriors will squish them like spiders in the Finals. No amount of corny Drake trolling will fool them.
They could’ve just awarded him shares in the franchise. Besides the fact that the jacket is ugly how do you justify not using that money to support a charity alongside drake to thank the city for it’s love and support (Drake also gets credit because the donation is made in his name)
Tho’ that bitch on eBay. Donate proceeds to kids who ain’t got a fuckin clothes or a fucking coat for winter. Drake already got the world in his hands. Rich get richer and the poor says fuck you.
Please ban drake from the arena. I can’t watch the game without drake jumping up and down like a high school cheer leader. Lil aubrey’s career is almost over. A new half man and half woman rapper is coming for his panties.
I am superstitious, People have speculated about the “Curse of Drake” when Leonard shot his shot and took raptors through to this final Drake wasn’t at that game , According to Drakes Insta Story Drake was in 76ers clothing at home. Clearly drake is aware of this curse also. I think this jacket is a 500K nail in the coffin for the raptors. But hey, what do I know?
Da G.O.A.T does what he wants, gets what he wants.
Nice to see how they spend their fans’ money. Giving shit away to an already rich celebrity who could buy one himself if he wanted to. What a joke.
drake is a girl who makes music for girls
A half a mil worth of bullshit lol…design is weak
Anyone who spends a half a mil on a jacket is a moron, so is anyone who wears something like that.
Sit the fuck down at the games btw.
