The rap icon showed up to support his fellow Grammy Award-winner Saturday night.

J. Cole wasn’t the only Grammy Award-winning rapper making headlines with their appearance at the Scarborough Shooting Stars game Saturday night in Toronto.

Fans in attendance for Cole’s first game inside the Pan Am Sports Centre were treated to a special appearance from Drake, who intently took in the game from his courtside seat. The platinum recording artist and noted Raptors ambassador also sported Cole’s No. 15 jersey.
