In another act of representation for his hometown, Drake appears on the cover of SLAM magazine with Toronto Raptors players Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan.
The publication calls the cover “historic” for combining the Toronto Raptors’ global ambassador with a team that is poised to be the Eastern Conference’s No. 2 seed in the NBA Playoffs.
Drake shared pictures from the shoot, which took place at the team’s practice facility, on his Instagram page and expressed his own excitement at the opportunity. He is scheduled to release his Views From the 6 album next month.
“@slamonline @demar_derozan @kyle_lowry7 @raptors Another very important moment in my life to be on the cover of one of my favorite magazines of all time. #6SIDE #VIEWS” he writes in the caption for a picture of the cover, which is titled “6 Gods.”
All three Toronto representatives appeared at the 2016 NBA All-Star Game, which was held in the Canadian city. Drake coached Team Canada to a 74-63 win over Kevin Hart’s Team USA in the celebrity game. DeRozan, who is Toronto’s leading scorer, had 18 points off the bench, and Lowry, who started, added 14 points in the All-Star game.
SLAM’s “6 God” issue with Drake and the Toronto Raptors’ All-Stars is set to hit stands next week.

Wack. Imagine being on of the best ball players in the world and a rapper is stealing YOUR shine in YOUR sport. Drake needs to step aside and let the raptors have their own spotlight in their best season ever.

Drake is ugly and gay. He likes sucking basketball player’s cocks.
bitch ass pop singer, only thing he is good for on a court is trying to distract the other teams players and getting penalties called on his own team. fucking dipshit. #DRAKEISFAKEDRAKEISWACK #THE 6FRAUD WITH VIEWS FROM A BITCH
Haha gotta love the hate on a simple magazine cover… that’s when you know you made it.
How much time is this nigga spending on the intro…? As you guys would say, this ugly pop singer took over.
6 of your favourite rappers killed by a singin nigga
where can i buy nembutal? i need nembutal! i need nembutal! i need nembutal!
happy the guys made the cover. huge fan of drake but he should have sat this one out and leave it to the players. masai or the coach should be the ones on the cover. drake is an ambassador, he has no effect on the players stats or accomplishment this season. let them enjoy the cover, both kyle and droz deserves it.
the 6 god in person hahaha fck yall hatin puccies
