Drake wouldn’t miss the Toronto Raptors’ first championship parade for the world.

The Raptors’ global ambassador marched into the party with his security detail, glowing, and headed toward Serge Ibaka’s float, while the champion center continued dancing.

The rapper wore an OVO Raptors jacket onto a float, celebrating alongside Fred VanVleet and Kyle Lowry.

Drake later joined Kawhi Leonard and his mother, while the Finals MVP smoked a cigar and wore a Board Man Gets Paid shirt.

Drake has his own float, however, and after hanging out with the Raptors’ guards, waved to the crowd with a number of OVO affiliates aboard.

With the parade running behind schedule, the 6ix God probably needed to quench his thirst. A fan had him covered.

An estimated two million people are on hand to celebrate with the Raptors and Drake, and he may be performing later today. We’ll keep you covered throughout the day with all updates on the parade, the Raptors, and October’s Very Own.
