So, the other day, I was scrolling through my phone and this question popped up: Does Drake own the Raptors? I mean, we all see him courtside at the games, practically part of the furniture, right? I got curious and decided to do some digging.
First, I tried to check out what his role with the team is. Turns out, he’s their “Global Ambassador.” Sounds fancy, but what does that even mean? I went through a few articles, and it seems like he’s involved in promoting the team, collaborating on some projects, and overall being the Raptors’ biggest hype man. They even have this “Welcome Toronto” thing going on with Drake. They said it was something about giving back to the community, fixing up basketball courts, and throwing money at Canada Basketball. Sounds pretty cool.
Then, I thought about how much he’s actually involved in the business side of things. I saw that Drake is not just about music. The guy’s got his hands in all sorts of things, like Sprite and Jordan. But as far as owning a piece of the Raptors, I couldn’t find anything concrete. He’s everywhere when it comes to the Raptors, but that’s not the same thing as owning part of it.
I looked for information to see if there were any specific instances that showed a change in his role, especially from a business perspective. I found one news piece saying that his partnership with the Raptors is still going strong. So I guess he’s not going anywhere anytime soon.
But here’s the thing, after all this searching, I realized that while Drake is a massive part of the Raptors’ image and maybe even their heart, owning the team? Nope, doesn’t seem like it. He’s like that super-involved friend who’s always around, always supportive, but doesn’t actually live in your house. You know?
- Drake’s the ultimate Raptors fan and a big part of their brand, but he doesn’t own the team.
- He’s more like a super-dedicated friend than a landlord.
My final thought:
It was a fun little investigation, though. Sometimes, the things you think are obvious turn out to be a bit more complicated when you really look into them.
