Drake’s OVO Teams Up With The NBA For 6-Team Collab

If you are a fan of Drake, then you are aware of his OVO brand. Overall, the full name of the brand is October’s Very Own and it consists of a record label as well as an apparel line. Moreover, the OVO branding has grown to be quite iconic as it consists of a large gold owl. This iconography has stayed with Drake throughout his entire career, and it is not going away soon. It is simply too iconic of a logo to ever give up on. Additionally, it is a logo that has lent itself well to a whole plethora of collaborations.

These collaborations are typically with other well-established brands. Although, OVO is always able to add their signature touch, thus making Drake proud. Now, OVO will be teaming up with an organization that their found is quite close with. Of course, we are talking about the National Basketball Association or NBA for short. In a series of Instagram posts, OVO showcased a new NBA collection that is being teased by James Goldstein.

OVO x NBA Makes Drake Proud

Overall, this collection is beautiful as it will contain varsity jackets, hoodies, and various other forms of apparel. Furthermore, six teams are going to be featured in this collaboration. The teams include the Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix Suns, Golden State Warriors, Memphis Grizzlies, Toronto Raptos, and New York Knicks. So far, only the apparel from the Warriors, Suns, and Lakers has been shown off. However, the pieces all look fantastic, and we’re sure that fans are going to agree. Hopefully, we see the various other pieces, very soon.

As for the release date, it would appear as though these are all going to drop on Friday, April 21st. Moreover, the pieces will be found over at octobersveryown.com. If you love Drake and OVO, while also being a fan of one of the six teams mentioned, these might be the move. Let us know what you think of the collection so far, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the streetwear and sports worlds.

A Closer Look

Drake Shushes The Haters (And Losers) In New Stake Promo

Drake is unsurprisingly one of Stake’s biggest advocates, and the gambling site is taking full advantage of that. Moreover, the Her Loss MC recently uploaded a funny and tongue-in-cheek promo video for Stake, which forms part of the series “Playing Stake In Quiet Places.” Furthermore, Drizzy sat in front of his laptop while near a calm and peaceful golf course, celebrating his wins in the sun. However, the comedy angle comes from him shushing those around him, including a friend whose muscles are making too much noise. It’s strange, low-budget, kind of corny, but still kind of funny to see him joke about him and his mother’s birthdays as he wins big.

Of course, Drake is well-known for his gambling tendencies, and for placing huge bets that either net him a lot of money or make his heavy pockets about $2 million lighter. For example, he lost about that amount when betting on Israel Adesanya in a previous UFC fight. However, he often sees much better days. Most recently, he won his bet on the Kansas City Chiefs winning the Super Bowl, although some of his specific bets regarding the game fell through.

Drake Posts Understated Ad For Stake On IG

On that note, the 6 God is quite the fan of mixed martial arts, and is one to pay respects to the sport’s legends. Furthermore, UFC fighter Jorge Masvidal recently announced retirement, much to the dismay of that community given his incredible career. Despite the relatively sad announcement, Masvidal expressed his gratitude for his position and for everything that the sport has given him over the years. When Drake heard the big news, he took to his Instagram Story to tip his hat. “Street legend. UFC goat. Hats off to a great man,” he wrote.

Meanwhile, Drake is making a lot of headlines these days for his new music, whether officially released or otherwise. His most recent tease came from his SOUND 42 radio show on SiriusXM, where he played a Lil Uzi Vert collab that originally surfaced back in 2021. With the way fans consume everything he does, if he bet on himself in the music game, he’d probably be twice as rich. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest updates on Drake, whether for his bets or his career.

Who’s The Kim Kardashian Lookalike On Drake Single Cover Art? We Now Know

Even though it’s been over a year since Drake and Kanye West “resolved” their beef, the former is still sending shots at the latter– or at least, that’s what many believe. Moreover, the 6 God’s latest cover art featured a lookalike of Kim Kardashian on the cover, wearing matching motorcycle helmets with the rapper. While that’s up for interpretation, a lot of people came to that conclusion online. However, we now know that the woman on the cover art is actually an artist named Lilah. Still, a lot of factors in the song hint at the 36-year-old still wanting more smoke with Ye.

Furthermore, the most glaring piece of evidence is him sampling Kim talking about her divorce on “Search & Rescue.” “I didn’t come this far just to come this far and not be happy. Remember that,” she says in the audio clip, which comes through about a quarter of the way through the song. Considering Drake’s lovey-dovey lyrics on the track, many assume he rapped about the SKIMS mogul. He does, though, say that he doesn’t need someone as famous as him, so maybe that theory doesn’t hold much weight.

Kim Kardashian Lookalike On Drake’s Cover Art Identified

Regardless, that doesn’t mean that Kanye hasn’t noticed, especially after Drake’s subliminal diss on his Her Loss track “Circo Loco.” “Linking with the opps, b***h, I did that s**t for J. Prince,” he rapped on the track. Before that, the Chicago rapper addressed the situation on Twitter in a since-deleted message. “Enough already I done gave this man his flowers multiple times,” he wrote. “Let’s really see who [our] real opps are in this music game. Imagine all the rappers on the same side and everyone cleaning up each other’s contracts. It’s kingdom time. Love Drake.”

Before that, he accused Drake on Drink Champs of claiming to have gotten with Kim Kardashian, although she denied it. “It’s like somebody throwing a marble and hiding their hand,” Kanye expressed. Meanwhile, Dennis Graham, Drizzy’s father, said that he meant nothing by the song, and it’s all just coincidence at the end of the day. But do you think there’s something deeper going on with “Search & Rescue”? Let us know in the comments and return to HNHH for the latest on Drake and Kim Kardashian.

Drake’s Setlist At Dreamville Fest 2023

Dreamville Fest 2023 had a lot of notable moments, which of course took advantage of the festival landing on April Fool’s Day. However, one person who clearly didn’t play around with their set was Drake, who held a headlining spot with J. Cole on Sunday (April 2). Moreover, the “Middle of the Ocean” MC gave fans a setlist full of hits, surprises, and a run-through of his acclaimed catalog. Not only that, but he also brought out many guests: GloRilla, Lil Uzi Vert, 21 Savage, Lil Wayne, and co-headliner and label boss J. Cole.

Furthermore, this live performance left fans very satisfied, which at least partially makes up for Drake’s recent festival woes. Following a few controversial performances for Lollapalooza Argentina and Brazil, the Dreamville set brought his quality standards back up. Still, the 6 God probably shouldn’t receive as much blame for those mishaps, as they were probably due to planning and logistics not lining up perfectly. Regardless, it will be interesting to see how the rap star addresses or makes up for those criticisms- and if he’s even the right person to reprimand for them.

Drake Enlists A Stacked Crew For His Performance & Hints At More New Music

In other Drake news, recently released and teased tracks have fans ready for even more from the OVO mogul. Of course, it’s not like he needs the extra push, given his incredibly successful 2022. First, he shook fans expectations, albeit to mixed critical results, on the house-inspired Honestly, Nevermind. Then, he brought fans a hefty helping of 21 Savage collaborations on Her Loss, which many felt was much more in line with his skillset.

Despite what many might say about his recent artistic moves, you can’t deny that Drake finds new ways to both surprise fans and stick to his guns. Although not everyone got to see his Dreamville Fest set, it certainly got fans excited to see him on the road again. With that in mind, check out the tracklist below and some performance highlights.
