Drake has forced the Kentucky Wildcats basketball team to self-report another NCAA violation.
This one is for “preferential treatment” and most likely comes from a picture that the VIEWS rapper took with then-Wildcats star Tyler Ulis in October, according to SEC Country.
The basketball program’s report, which is made up of 14 minor violations, does not name the player involved in the incident, but Ulis posted a picture to his Instagram in May of himself with Drake at an afterparty for Drizzy’s concert in his hometown of Chicago. The school says that the athlete did not receive tickets, access to the party or any other financial perk from the rapper. It explains that Drake’s management team recognized the student athlete at the concert and invited him to come hang out.
“They merely said hello and took a picture,” the report says of the celebrity’s interaction with the player.

Ulis, who was drafted by the Phoenix Suns this year, was briefly declared ineligible, but reinstated in October. The school says that after it learned of the incident, it gave the team a warning about receiving preferential treatment.
Drake was issued a cease and desist from Kentucky after the team had to self-report a violation stemming from his interaction with a recruit at a school-sanctioned event.
It has been a rocky relationship for Drake and his beloved squad. Besides these violations, he got ripped by the public for throwing an airball while warming up with the team in 2014. But he still bleeds blue.
