Aubrey ‘Drake’ Graham is one of the NBA’s most famous fans. Born in Toronto, Drake is an avid Toronto Raptor supporter – but often catches flack for supporting teams he has lose connections to.
Drake’s relationship with the Warriors is well documented, from lyrics in his songs to his frequent visits to the Oracle Arena. His music is in heavy rotation during Warriors games, and last year he even brought then-Warriors sideline reporter Ros Gold-Onwude as his date to the ESPYs.
But we didn’t know his Warriors connection was this…permanent.
I might be trippin, but I think Drake tattooed Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant’s numbers (and possibly last names) on his left arm: pic.twitter.com/knITeOuJrd

You’re seeing that correctly. It appears that Drake has the number 30 with with ‘Gifted’ underneath, and 35 accompanied by ‘Snipe.’ Snipe could be a reference to Kevin Durant’s Instagram handle easymoneysniper, and ‘gifted’ would fit as a reference to Curry. Both of the numbers look to be written in the same font used on Golden State’s jerseys.
Maybe it’s a coincidence that Drake has both Durant and Curry’s numbers right next to each other. Maybe Drake lost a bet to Curry and KD. He does boast on the song ‘Free Smoke’ that him, Curry and Durant bet on shots ‘for 20 Gs’.
Either way, let’s just hope any Toronto Raptors catch wind of the tattoos.
