Chet Holmgren, star of OKC Thunder, was also in attendance, in addition to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Before Drake entered the stage as the headliner, Holmgren reportedly left the venue with Chicago rapper Lil Durk.

Many have pointed out that Drake’s attendance at an OKC Thunder game in 2021 was the beginning of their relationship, which spans years. In an exhilarating introduction this week, Drake brought Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to the stage while also mentioning their common Canadian connection.

The NBA sees greatness in him. You may call him Shai Gilgeous. He adores you all with all his heart. Even if we both represent the six, he is more into the other team.Here you can watch Drake’s introduction of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to the stage and Chet Holmgren and Lil Durk’s exit from the show:

It was expected that they would do so, given their shared Canadian heritage, but many fans speculated that Drake might be trying to entice SGA to move to Toronto. Drake has long been associated with the Toronto Raptors as their ambassador.

Even though there isn’t much proof that Drake is attempting to lure SGA away from the Thunder, they have become extremely close. For instance, earlier this season, SGA sent Drake a signed jersey with a touching letter that read:

“To the boy: Shout out to the flashiest, the splashiest, the craftiest … my fly brother, the GOAT … appreciate you 4L.”Drake snapped a selfie with the autographed jersey and posted it to his Instagram story, drawing attention to the friendship between the two Canadian celebrities.

The Thunder and SGA will face the Jazz on Wednesday, following their participation at Drake’s concert with Chet Holmgren.

Oklahoma City is hoping for the best as the playoffs approach and the squad takes first place in the Western Conference.
