Drake now has the run of the Toronto Raptors' practice facility.
Raptors president Masai Ujiri flew to Manchester, England last month both because he'd never seen a Drake concert in person, and to present the Grammy award-winning artist with a key to the training facility in celebration of its new naming rights.
"Drake and OVO are an important part of our city's landscape, our team's identity, and our plans to bring a championship to Toronto," he said. "With each step of our partnership over the last five and a half years, we have worked together to build a winning basketball program in Toronto and deliver for our fans and our community.
OVO, an acronym for "October's Very Own," is the name of a record label and clothing line co-founded by Drake.
