Like his boss Lil Wayne, Drake is building a reputation as a bandwagon fan. Since he’s scheduled to host the 2014 ESPYS next Wednesday, July 16, he hopped on a media conference call to answer a few questions. Of course the big news was LeBron James going back to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The city is now big in sports since they have Johnny Manziel on the Cleveland Browns in addition to James and No. 1 draft pick Andrew Wiggins on the Cavs, all of whom are close friends with Drake. This means we’ll be seeing much more of the rap superstar in Cleveland, in fact he wants a home there.

“Well, first of all, I’d like to say that despite what everyone on the Internet thinks, I do not team jump. In the past I’ve always supported the player and not the institution—unless we’re talking about the Kentucky Wildcats and the Toronto Raptors; I will never stray from them. But whether it comes to soccer or football or basketball, I have a lot of friends that play for a lot of teams. I’m not team jumping. I’m a supportive friend.”
“Of course, I’m gonna go watch games in Cleveland. If not for LeBron—who I said is a brother to me, we’ve got three kids from Toronto on one team, plus Manziel who is part of our family and our brother. I definitely have to look into some real estate in Cleveland and spend some months of the year out there. Like I said, my teams will always forever be who they are but I will support the group who has shifted to Cleveland.”
“For Cleveland, a place that I’ve been to time and time again when I’ve been to touring, it’s gonna be great for them, I’d love to see them grow.”
