Drake Salutes Big Sean at Recent Tour Stop: 'That's My Brother'

Drake is rapping up his run of shows in Los Angeles. During the Tuesday night (Aug. 22) show, he gave a shoutout to Big Sean, who was in attendance.

“We started this shit together, y’all make some noise for Sean Don one time,” Drake said before instructing the camera to pan to Big Sean. “That’s my brother.”

You can see the moment below.

Drake has made a trending moment out of his walkouts to the stage, evoking the same style as boxers getting to the ring for the big fight. For his opening night at the building formerly known as Staples Center, Drake brought out its current King, LeBron James, and maybe the future one in Bronny.

Fans from Los Angeles capture Drake strolling to the stage with Bronny on his right, Chubbs on his left, and King James behind him, making for an impressive visual. Once they reached the bottom, Drake and LeBron James embraced before the OVO superstar hit the stage to perform “Look What You’ve Done.”

A’ja Wilson Ties WNBA Scoring Record, LeBron Reacts To Her Doing It In LeBron 20s

by

On August 22, Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson tied the WNBA single-game scoring record with a 53-point performance against the Atlanta Dream. The mark had previously been by Liz Cambage in 2018 while playing for the Dallas Wings. Wilson went 16-for-23 from the floor, as well as 20-for-21 from the free-throw line. However, the Aces needed every single point, eventually winning out 112-100. Furthermore, the win also saw the Aces tie the single-season wins record, set by the Mercury in 2014. Following last night’s victory, the Aces are 29-4.

“She runs like a deer, jumps like a cat and catches as if she were Spider-Man,” Aces head coach Becky Hammon said. “She is just special. Her real gift is in her humility and grace and how she handles herself and her teammates. She is a phenomenal superstar.” However, the recently enshrined Hall of Famer wasn’t the only person to praise Wilson’s performance. Lakers star LeBron James also got in on the action.

LeBron Hypes Wilson’s Epic Performance

LeBron expressed his admiration for Wilson in response to a tweet from sneaker journalist Nick DePaula. DePaula had noted that Wilson’s record-tying performance was done in a pair of Lebron 20s. “Must be the 👟!!! Nah it’s definitely her game the whole way!! They do look good on her though! GO THE HELL OFF THEN SIS!!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 @_ajawilson22,” LeBron wrote as a quote tweet. Wilson chose the Lebron shoe over her own signature Nike for the game.

“I was just really aggressive today,” Wilson said of her own performance. “I’m out there having fun, and I get the opportunity to play with some amazing women. I don’t take these moments for granted. But it wasn’t a feeling like, ‘Oh, my God!’ It was kind of just in the flow. The biggest thing is just my timing. I see a lot of different defenses every possession.” The Aces will remain on the road for the rest of the week. They have games in Chicago, DC, and New York before closing out the month with a home game against the Mystics.

Drake is easily one of the biggest artists in the world. Overall, his tour is making a whole lot of money. Moreover, there have been some exceptionally famous people making their way to his shows. On Monday night, LeBron James and his oldest son Bronny showed up to the party. Bronny and LeBron got to walk Drizzy to the stage, which must have been an incredible sight to see. After all, LeBron is easily the most famous person to get to do this thus far. If you live in Los Angeles, these things are probably to be expected at this point.

LeBron and Drake have been friends for a very long time now. The NBA superstar has always supported Drizzy and his music. Additionally, the Canadian artist has always made it a point to go watch Bron play. This mutual respect has lasted over a decade. On Monday, during the concert, Drake decided to pay homage to his friend. Below, you can see a speech in which he spoke about just how supportive of a guy LeBron really is. It was a truly great speech to hear, especially when you think of the history behind it.

Drake x LeBron

“The gentleman that walked me to stage tonight is my brother,” he said. “In 2009, when nobody believed in anything I had going on, that same guy showed up to a release party for a mixtape that was called So Far Gone. He came all the way to Toronto, Canada to support me, when I was trying to figure out how I can live my dreams.” The crowd was loving every second of the speech, and rightfully so. It must have been an incredible atmosphere and if you’re LeBron, it was probably a great feeling.

Drake and 21 Savage continued their It’s All A Blur Tour in Los Angeles over the weekend — and keeping with the trend of bringing surprise guests. While Kendall Jenner and SZA have already popped up at past LA dates, the recent celebs had the crowd going wild.

None other than LeBron James and his son Bronny (who is doing “great” after his recent health scare) joined the rappers on stage. On the way through the crowd to get there, Drake also signed a fan’s copy of his poetry book. The Toronto performer was also paying tribute by wearing the Lakers colors.

Then, when Drake was on stage, he gave a heartfelt speech to LeBron. “The gentleman that walked me to stage tonight is my brother,” he said. “In 2009, when nobody believed in anything I had going on, that same guy showed up to a release party for a mixtape that was called So Far Gone.”

“He came all the way to Toronto, Canada to support me, when I was trying to figure out how I can live my dreams,” Drake added.

Drake and LeBron have continued to stay close for a while. Back in 2018, he appeared on an episode of LeBron’s HBO series, The Shop, where he opened up about his son, Adonis, and the two dads bonded over raising their kids.

A few years later in 2020, Drake went with LeBron to watch Bronny play at his high school basketball game. “My young demons doing numbers,” Drake posted when Bronny’s team won, according to HotNewHipHop.

This makes the fact that LeBron brought his son to Drake’s show all the more special.

Check out Drake entering the stage with LeBron and Bronny, and his speech, above.

LeBron, Bronny, And Bryce James Enjoy Dodgers Game

by

LeBron James and his two sons, Bronny and Bryce, recently visited Dodger Stadium to see the Dodgers beat the Marlins. The trio appeared to have been in good spirits based on photos, which comes as a relief to fans following the 18-year-old’s recent health scare. It was LeBron James bobble-head night, meaning that fans had an opportunity to get a free souvenir in honor of the NBA star. He also received a massive check of $100K to go towards his LeBron James Family Foundation.

At the end of July, Bronny suffered a cardiac arrest during basketball practice at the University of Southern California. He was rushed to the hospital where he was stabilized, and released a few days later. He appears to have been doing well after the incident, however, it’s left some wondering how his health could impact his future in the sport. Shaquille O’Neal’s son, who’s played amid his own health struggles, weighed in earlier this week.

Shareef O’Neal underwent open heart surgery back in 2018 to treat a heart condition. He gave a promising response to questions about Bronny, claiming that “He’s good.” He added that the health scare shouldn’t have an impact on his career in sports. “I don’t think it will affect anything,” the 23-year-old explained.

Following the news of his son’s cardiac arrest, LeBron took to X to thank fans for their support. “I want to thank the countless people sending my family love and prayers,” he wrote. “We feel you and I’m so grateful. Everyone doing great. We have our family together, safe and healthy, and we feel your love. Will have more to say when we’re ready but I wanted to tell everyone how much your support has meant to all of us! #JamesGang.”
