Does Drake get a ring?
Does Drake get a ring?
Aaron Ortiz
Ayden Collins
He's an employee of the team so yes
Ethan Reyes
Lmao are you forreal
Camden Powell
I'm not sure what his contract is like or how much they pay him but he is officially employed as a "brand ambassador". Like it's well known the team pays him to be around.
It might seem like a scam but the reality is he would be around anyways, being sn actual employee of the team lets him get away with the shit he does. For all we know they could be payi g him 10 times a game.
Andrew Long
he actually said he is designing the rings
Brayden Baker
yeah drake knows all about male rings
Grayson Cox
isn't he a minority owner or something like that?
Jaxson Reed
No, he’s a (((brand ambassador))), whatever that means
Nicholas Torres
bit racist
Tyler Reyes
No way. The biggest corporate media company in the country own the team, not him.
Lincoln Hall
It's not a joke. He joined the team as an employee in 2013 but he's been a Raptors fan since they got here. Drake is also accountable for roughly 5% of Toronto's tourism revenue. The raptors training facility is also repping his OVO brand and is called the OVO athletic centre.
Ian Stewart
Nah, his slaves are all white
Parker Baker
Kek
Charles Brooks
>hire a guy with tattoos of 2 warriors as a raptors ambassador
canada...
Adam Bailey
He's a basketball fan and they're some of his best friends. His tattoos are literally two very tiny numbers half the size of a penny. It's fucking gay and lame but who gives a shit. The guy is a total poof but he doesn't try to act like something he's not, half his music is him crying over fucking rihanna still. He's still been a raps fan since '95 and he's one of our few celebrities who actually sticks around
Robert Gray
The dude really does deserve credit for putting the city on his back and making it as relevant as it is, you could honestly argue that he may Toronto one of the trendiest cities this decade.
Eli Parker
does every brand ambassador and such get a ring?
Eli Price
nobody gave a shit about toronto before drake, let's be real
Landon Barnes
He's a marketing genius
Pretty much this. Toronto was a tier 2 north american city before him. Vancouver was higher tier than fucking Toronto internationally and Toronto was pretty much a financial services and F500 HQ office park. Now Toronto is a fucking monolith and up there with Chicago and New York.
Jordan Harris
Vince Carter
Ryder Rivera
No.
Drakes role is the first of his time
Wyatt Nelson
I’m born and raised in Toronto and this is absolute nonsense.
Leo Parker
I would assume no but it depends on how his ambassador contract works
Sebastian Nguyen
The city of Toronto literally attributed about half a billion dollars (440+ million) of tourism revenue towards Drake. As in the dude is directly responsible for a fuckload of money coming to the city
Joshua Stewart
Every employed member of the team generally get rings mascot/cheerleaders etc
Henry Long
Vince Carter and then Chris Bosh made the team somewhat relevant.
Sebastian Harris
are you saying people go visit toronto just because drake's from toronto?
Anthony Jenkins
Unfortunately, people really are that stupid.
Oliver Cooper
No don't be an idiot. People go to Toronto because of its spike in popularity. People go because Drake has been repping Toronto and marketing it. People don't go because Drake is there, they go because he's built a brand around Toronto and that resonates with people. It's like if Toronto decided to run a tourism marketing campaign to convince people to go except instead of the government doing it Drake is doing it himself.
Jack Ross
>Drake is also accountable for roughly 5% of Toronto's tourism revenue
Bullshit. What percentage is Nardwuar accountable for Vancouver's tourism revenue?
Justin Turner
It's a thing trust me, people go visit usain bolts home district here in Jamaica. You better believe they are going to Toronto to sniff Drake's farts
Nathan Diaz
That all sound extremely cucked

>As proof, Vice points to Drake's influence in coining the nickname "The Six" or "The 6ix," his OVO brand, featuring various landmarks and local establishments in music videos and on album art and more
>Ward 37 Councillor Michael Thompson, he described using Drake as a selling-point to bring a $147 million tech conference to Toronto for the next three years.
>"When I mentioned this was home of Drake, the people just kind of went crazy -- just the mere mention of his name," he said
Michael Torres
Well, if you go to Jamaica and you get tired of the beach what else can you do besides going to Marley or Bolt home districts?
Jeremiah Thomas
People are dumb, who cares? He makes money for the city and people are drawn to him.
Jaxson Green
Hahaha Christ
Robert Reyes
He's not even that good. They're not going to make shrines of him when he dies like Elvis or Michael Jackson
Kevin Ross
I mean i'm not the biggest fan of his music but he's literally the worlds largest artist right now. I could see Toronto making a shrine of him.
Connor Russell
Ive so many conflicting
Noah Hughes
There is a fuckton here to do. Weed farms, parties, river rafting all that shit. I've lived 5 mins away from Bob Marley s place for 20+ years and ive never been on the tour.
Carson Bennett
smoke weed
