Drake’s It’s All a Blur Tour has had no shortage of viral moments, and that trend continued as the 6 God shared a moment with Steph Curry in New York City this week.
The Toronto hitmaker packed out the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Monday night (July 17), and paused his performance to show love to his friend and four-time NBA champion who was stood right beside him.

Steph was enjoying the show in the VIP section alongside his wife, Ayesha Curry, and mother, Sonya, when Drake pointed out their apparent resemblance and told the audience to embrace him.
“I got my brother in the building tonight. They say we look alike,” he said. “Make some noise for my brother Steph Curry in the building one time. And of course, the lovely Ayesha Curry. And mama bear, you know.”

Drake’s friendship with Steph Curry runs deep. He was once fined $500 by the Golden State Warriors for flying on the team plane with the point guard.
“We were flying to L.A. after our home game and we all got to the airport and Steph [Curry] and Draymond [Green] weren’t on the plane at the departure time,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr recalled in January 2021. “Steph said, ‘Oh my fault. I’m with Drake and Draymond and were at the arena still.’

“We had a team rule at the time that you could bring a friend on the plane a couple times a year. Unbeknownst to me, Steph decided to use one of his slots for Drake. So Drake got on the plane that night with Draymond and Steph and I fined all three of them for being late. Drake paid his $500 fine.”
Drake also rapped about “Golden State running practice at my house” on his 2016 song “Summer Sixteen.” Shortly after its release, Steph Curry confirmed there was some truth to the line.
“That got some real-life aspect to it,” he told SportsCentre at the time. “Me and my brother-in-law, I was playing one-on-one with him at Drake’s house. They were watching. They didn’t really shoot that much that day, but my brother-in-law got all that work, so that was good.”
Drake also told Comcast SportsNet: “I was like, ‘Man, we gotta ball this summer. We gotta actually play. You should bring the whole squad,’ He’s like, ‘Alright, we might come out there and really run a little scrimmage.’

“I was like ‘Okay, I might have Golden State practicing at the house.’ That was kinda where the line came from. That’s what I like to do. I like to say things kinda right before they happen.”
Drake’s It’s All a Blur Tour with 21 Savage continues with a further three nights at the Barclays Center, followed by three dates at Madison Square Garden.
