Reporting by The Times of India says Drake jumped into NBA banter after former player Brandon Jennings criticized Canadian stars, as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander responded with a standout performance for OKC.
The story frames the moment as a mix of sports talk, celebrity ego, and national pride—perfect for clip culture across social platforms.
It adds Drake’s IG Story became the punchline fans kept reposting once OKC secured a big result.
For verification, the report quotes Drake’s IG Story: “@shai boom what??,” while Jennings’ remark that Canadian players “benefit from modern rules” is cited as the spark for the exchange.
Echotitbits take: NBA culture thrives on this crossover. Watch for Jennings to escalate on podcasts and for Drake to keep using IG Stories as a sports lane.
