Drake Teams Up With NFL For OVO Collab Despite League’s Association With Kendrick Lamar

by

Drake and Kendrick Lamar engaged in one of the most jaw-dropping beefs in the history of hip-hop. Overall, this is a feud that is going to go down in history, especially with the way it ended. Kendrick ultimately got the win, and he did so in a brutal fashion. His mastery of tone and strategy were second to none, and Drizzy didn’t really have an answer. In the aftermath of Lamar’s win, he was even awarded the Super Bowl Halftime Show, which has proven to be a controversial decision.

Despite the league’s newfound association with Kendrick, it would appear as though Drake is still in business with the league. Over the years, Drake has dropped a few collaborations alongside the NFL, through his OVO brand. The OVO imprint is mostly known for its impressive streetwear designs. Overall, these collaborations draw a ton of hype, and most importantly, they look good. Now, OVO and the NFL are teaming up for a brand-new collection.

Drake’s OVO x NFL Collab Sneak Peek

As you can see in the tweet above, it would appear as though this new collaboration is going to bring the OVO aesthetic to some unique jackets. In fact, these jackets seem to be in the same style as those iconic Starter jackets that were popular decades ago. As for the release date of the collaboration, you can expect the new pieces to arrive on Friday, December 13th. Essentially, these are coming out right in time for the Christmas holiday.

It will be interesting to see what else Drake will do with the NFL, in the future. There were rumblings that Drake had been asked to perform the Super Bowl Halftime Show twice. However, on both occasions, Drake decided that it would be best to just politely decline. One has to wonder if the artist will change his tune on that in the future. After all, performing at the Super Bowl is one of the biggest things you can do as a legacy act.

Birdman is someone who has repped for Louisiana quite a bit over the years. Overall, he has been a huge representative for Southern hip-hop, and he remains a powerful figure. Having said that, it should come as no surprise that he is a fan of the New Orleans Saints. The Saints are a team that has been around for a very long time. Moreover, they won a Super Bowl over a decade ago and have a fantastic history. For people in NOLA, the Saints are a very meaningful team, especially with how they rallied the city amid Hurricane Katrina.

Now, the Saints are part of the new OVO x NFL collaboration. This collaboration honors eight NFL teams with some incredible merch. This includes hoodies, shirts, and a gorgeous varsity jacket. The eight teams represented are the Saints, Kansas City Chiefs, New York Jets, Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles, Atlanta Falcons, Seattle Seahawks, and the New England Patriots. Birdman got to wear the Saints gear, and in the image below, you can see he looks good in black and gold.
