Daymond John Curates 'Black Entrepreneurs Day' for October 24

Drake pulled up to an NBA open run with Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and more playing. But he was the talk of the game due to his hair and the oversized FUBU shirt he wore. Reacting to the moment was FUBU creator Daymond John.

“Time and time, I’ve seen Megan Thee stallion, SZA, Chris Brow, and now Drake. These people are defining our culture today, and to see something my partner and I came up with 35 years ago in our basement,” John said to TMZ. “They say trends come and go; fashion is forever. To see them rediscover the brand in the 50th year of Hip-Hop, it’s just an amazing thing. If I can do it, anybody can do it. Shoutout to Drake and the amazing artist who can educate the culture.”

Whether you love Drake or love to hate him, you can’t deny that the Canadian has always been a pro at walking to the beat of his own drum. Rather than looking outside of himself for inspiration, the legendary lyricist follows his intuition, even if it leads him toward some serious fashion risks. So far this year he’s been clowned for getting a pink manicure, and more recently, wearing clips of the same colour while switching up his usual hairstyle. It’s clear that not everyone was feeling those, but the FUBU shirt Drizzy donned at the same time is earning him some major flowers from founder Daymond John.

“Drake, I mean one of the world’s top artists,” the creative gushed in a video shared by TMZ on Saturday (August 19). “Wearing a shirt – I’ve seen Megan Thee Stallion, Chris Brown, and now Drake,” John added. “These people are defining our culture today, and I think that to think about the fact that it’s something that my partners and I came up with 35 years ago in our basement.”

The brain behind FUBU went on to point out that “trends come and go,” but it’s interesting to see the resurgence of the ’90s sportswear brand come together with the 50th anniversary of hip-hop. “It’s just an amazing thing, and if I can do it, anybody can do it,” John encouraged any other aspiring designers out there.

“Shoutout to Drake and all the amazing artists that go back in the vault and educate people on part of the culture. I love it,” his public message to the rap world ended. Elsewhere in the news, the 6ix God has been entertaining crowds all across the country on his It’s All a Blur tour, even bringing one lucky fan out on stage to perform one of Drake’s biggest hits together.
