The rapper Drake was recently spotted wearing a Kentucky recruit’s high school jersey.

According to SECCountry.com, it likely won’t cause any trouble for Kentucky (remember, Drake has already caused several minor violations), but…it’s at least a little weird for a grown man to wear to high school kid’s jersey.
There are certain lines you probably shouldn’t cross, especially once you turn 30, as Drake did last October. We’d prefer it in the future for Drake to draw those lines in Canada, and then stay there.
It’s not the first time Drake has pushed his fake love for Kentucky a bit too far. In 2015, Kentucky actually asked him to “cease and decist” after self-reporting a recruiting violation that he caused. And then he did it again anyway.
It doesn’t seem like this will be a violation, though it could be stretched into a minor “recruiting advantage” penalty despite having a commitment from Williamson already. But beyond that, it’s really just kind of weird. We all know Drake started from the bottom, but this type of bad behavior might send him back there. Forever.
I agree.
