Drake's star-studded sports history: A timeline
— -- Where there's star power in sports, Drake usually follows -- and often in courtside seats.
The Canadian hip-hop artist is often criticized for being a bandwagon fan, but he bristles at the notion.
"Despite what everyone on the Internet thinks, I do not team-jump," Drake told Complex in 2014.

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."
Here are several instances when Drake was extremely supportive of his friends, along with the fallout:
