Young Money's Drake is living high these days after reportedly having the city of Houston give him his own "Drake Day" beginning next year. #HTownLove
Drizzy popped up in H-Town at the Houston Astros’ Minute Maid Park to receive the honor this week.
Drake has begun his celebration of Houston Appreciation Weekend with a bang tonight. Making an appearance at Minute Maid Park, where he is hosting Houston Appreciation Night at the Astros game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Drake received a certificate that declared June 10, 2014 to be “Drake Day” in the city of Houston. And while June 10 has come and gone this year, Drake will have the opportunity to celebrate his own special day next year. (Complex)
To make things even better, the Astros celebrated Drizzy by playing his music throughout the night.
At the very least, he has the satisfaction of watching all of the Astros batters step up to the plate with his songs playing as walk-up music. And Houston Appreciation Weekend will continue until Sunday, with a concert and more meet-and-greet opportunities. (Complex)
