Drake To Host The ESPYs

04/10/2014
. (Radio.com) Get ready to honor some sportsball with Drake - the rapper is coming to the ESPYs. In a tweet from the rapper, he announced he'll be the host at this year's ESPYs, a sports award ceremony tendered yearly by ESPN. He tweeted that he was "honored" to accept the spot at the helm of this year's awards.

Drake tweeted the following, "Honored to be this year's @ESPYS host @espn 7.16.2014 #ESPYS #NWTS http://t.co/PFo7wOV0DE - Drizzy (@Drake) April 09, 2014."

Drake should be no stranger to many diehard sports fans; aside from his music, it's been well-publicized that the rapper is a huge fan of his hometown Toronto Raptors (more like Rappers, amirite? Nah?), particularly as the franchise's global ambassador as appointed at the beginning of this regular season. more on this story
