The Toronto Raptors announced Thursday they renamed their training facility the OVO Athletic Centre as part of a collaboration with rapper Drake, who owns the October’s Very Own brand.
Drake wrote in an Instagram post “Introducing the OVO Athletic Centre, the official training facility for the Toronto Raptors. ?? just wanted to add that I am so proud of my brothers and so proud to be from this city I swear this one feels like a high school dream and it’s a blessing to be able to raise up the levels and make the human mind stretch when it comes to thinking about what is possible in your lifetime!! Much love to everyone involved”
Toronto posted a video about the change, highlighted by giving a key to the building to Drake:
