Here’s Drake RUNNING HIS MOUTH LAST NIGHT — talking smack to 76ers star Joel Embiid at the Raptors game … while rocking his giant custom championship ring!
Of course, Drake is basically the official Raptors spokesperson and talked A LOT of trash to players during the ’18-’19 championship run … it was fun to watch.
But, with Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green both on other teams, we were wondering if Drake would keep that same energy this season. Answer — YES.
Check out Drake chanting, “MVP,” at Joel Embiid as he had his worst night of his career — scoring ZERO points on 11 shots as the Raptors went on to win 101 to 96.
As for Drake’s ring, the rapper went to famous jeweler Jason of Beverly Hills to get him a one-of-a-kind piece to commemorate his team’s title run.
The piece is incredible — it’s got 30 carats of diamonds, which is more than any other championship ring in NBA history.
Jason told TMZ Sports … “Drake had me fly to Turks and Caicos for an emergency design meeting.”
“It’s a championship that’s dear to his heart and he wanted to create an over the top ring that not only paid homage to his city but made a statement above and beyond anything else in history.”
Nice to see it doesn’t just collect dust in the safe — and if Drake is gonna go after star players again this year, we’re here for all of it!
