\n\tDrake<\/a> pulled up to celebrate NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander\u2019s 28th birthday on Sunday (July 12), and even dished out a brief freestyle<\/a> showing love to the Oklahoma City Thunder superstar. <\/p>\n

\n\tSGA posted the clip<\/a> of Drizzy toasting his fellow Toronto native and rapping a few bars dedicated to the Canadian hooper.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cTo everybody here\/ To many more nights\/ To the ones that loved and to the ones that hated\/ And to the ones that are here to celebrate the greatest\/ Too many nights\/ We\u2019ve had too much fun\/ 2 on the jersey\/ But we\u2019re here for the one,\u201d he rapped, which drew applause from others at the party. <\/p>\n

\n\tGilgeous-Alexander is somewhat of a poet when crafting his own Instagram captions, which he\u2019s been known to turn into a few rhyming bars. \u201cAnother trip around the sun gotta step carefully now i can\u2019t trip around my son,\u201d he captioned his birthday post.<\/p>\n

\n\tDrake and SGA, who were both raised in Toronto, have been tight for years. Gilgeous-Alexander\u2019s manager, Simon \u201cSteez\u201d Gebrelul, is also cool with Drake and manages several producers affiliated with the 6 God.<\/p>\n

\n\tDrizzy has often been present courtside whenever SGA\u2019s Thunder visits the Toronto Raptors, and he even covered up his LeBron James tattoo <\/a>with ink dedicated to the NBA\u2019s second-leading scorer.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI understand why it might seem crazy that Drake tattooed me on his arm. But to me, that\u2019s just the homie,\u201d SGA told GQ<\/a> in October about Drake getting a tattoo of his Thunder No. 2 jersey.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlongside Giveon and his manager, Steez, SGA graced the cover of Billboard\u2018s<\/a> Sports & Music issue in February, in which he named Drake as one of the four artists he listens to \u201creligiously.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI listen to four artists religiously: [Giveon], Drake, [Lil] Yachty and Justin Bieber. Two rappers and two singers,\u201d Gilgeous-Alexander said. \u201cThose are my defaults. And then I just mix rappers in every now and then. If we\u2019re on the plane, the vibes are a little different. So I have to work the room and not just play what I want to play.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDrake is coming off his trifecta of albums in May, which debuted simultaneously in the top three slots of the Billboard 200. <\/a>Drizzy also name-dropped SGA on HABIBTI\u2018s \u201cHURRR NOR THURRR\u201d featuring Sexyy Red. \u201cYou flew out and Drake gave your boyfriend a 30-piece all in your face,\u201d he croons in the song.<\/p>\n
