Infamous Canadian rapper Drake posted a short message on social media as his hometown Toronto Blue Jays advanced to the World Series to face the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The image he shared was of him at Dodger Stadium when he rented it out for a date in 2021. The caption reads “World Series Bound,” with the song “OK Blue Jays” in the post.

Drake has always been connected to Toronto’s sports scene, especially the NBA’s Toronto Raptors.
The rapper was called the Global Ambassador of the Raptors in 2013and is often seen trackside during matches. After accepting the job, he stated the importance of not only the basketball team in Toronto, but also the city itself and his admiration for it.
“I’ve supported the franchise through our ups and downs,” Drake said in 2013. “More than anything, I’m a Toronto guy. I’m a city guy. I’m a Toronto guy.”
“I care about the city more than anything in the world.”
With Drake’s baseball team now in the Fall Classic, there appears to be a new layer of drama given their matchup with the Dodgers.
Drake was involved in one public feud with Los Angeles-based rapper Kendrick Lamar last year, and one of the songs released as a result, Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” was used by LA as a rallying cry during Dodgers home games.
Although Lamar — who grew up in Los Angeles and has been spotted at Dodger Stadium a few times over the years — and his Dodgers will take on Drake and his Blue Jays, there are bigger consequences at stake for the ball clubs.
The Dodgers have a shot in history, becoming baseball’s first back-to-back champions in a quarter century, and the Blue Jays are trying to return to the Fall Classic for the first time since 1993. That ’93 win happened to be the second of a consecutive series from Toronto.
