The Canadian star wrote, ‘Also, the face you said tryna dribble like off that bar we know you were ass at ball but your ting showed up and you started doing too much like this real af you are a guy for that bar.’

Drake’s Other Activities
In other news, Drake has been actively involved in saving a historic Venice soccer team.
According to reports, he played a critical role in helping the nearly 120-year-old Venezia club avoid bankruptcy by raising substantial funds.
Drake, along with his business partners, mobilized North American investors to gather the needed 10 million Euros ($10.9 million) immediately, followed by another 30 million Euros ($32.7 million).
Fundraising Efforts
Drake’s team was instrumental in the fundraising process. His chief business officer, Matte Babel, shared details with the media.
Babel stated, ‘Venice is an incredible city and Venezia has always been a special club. I spoke to Drake, then Brad [Katsuyama, co-owner of Venezia] and I discussed the details of how we could help. Within two weeks, we had a deal, raised the money needed to pay the salaries and avoid bankruptcy.’
This move reflects Drake’s deep ties with Venezia through his Nike sub-label NOCTA, which is now the team’s ‘official technical partner.’
