Toronto-native, Drake, is showing even more love for his hometown by agreeing to become a Global Ambassador for the Toronto Raptors.
The basketball team is hoping that Drake’s worldwide fame will assist in their rebranding efforts. Drake’s position was officially announced on Monday in front of a crowd of adoring fans at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre.
The Raptors have been given the green light to play host to the 2016 NBA all-star game. It’ll be the first time in history that the game has been held outside of the United States, so the team is hoping that Drake’s star power will help promote the big event.
Drake has been a life-long Raptors fan and is more than pleased with the position, but promises to take his duties seriously.
