John Calipari has made a lot of friends since being the head coach of the Kentucky Wildcats and it seems there are a lot of new fans too. Drake is one of the new members of Big Blue Nation and he recently gave some [URL=”http://www.nationofblue.com/rap-star-drake-talks-kentucky-ashley-judd-2438/”]insight into his relationship[/URL] with Coach Cal.
When asked about Calipari Drake said “I don’t know if anyone sees Coach Cal in his private office time, but if I had to guess, I think he lights candles and listens to Phil Collins to calm himself down.”[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]
Well, Coach Cal doesn’t totally disagree with his assessment. He had this response to the interview with Drake:
“To have Drake say those things about me and our program, that means a lot,” Coach Cal said on Sunday. “I’ve enjoyed getting to know him and getting to see him in concert in the Spring, I really appreciated how hard he works and what an incredible talent he is.
“But I do want to clear up one thing: I do like Phil Collins, but I don’t light candles,” Coach Cal said. “Ellen likes to light candles, but not me!”
“When I first met him and told Erin, Megan and Brad about it, the were absolutely convinced I didn’t not know Drake,” Coach Cal said. “They all love Drake and when they found out I really did know him, they were like, ‘Wow, not bad Dad!’”
