Rapper Drake has announced that Nike and he have partnered up for the rapper to design for the company. This following rapper Kanye West’s recent dispute and severance with Nike after West took shots at the company during a recent concert in Portland, Oregon.
Billboard reported Drake made the announcement December 3 during his concert. Drake stated “"Today also happens to be one of the best days of my life. So today, I came to Portland and officially became inducted into the Team Jordan family."
Both parties seem to be happy with the deal, with Michael Jordan confirming the next morning through Twitter, "He's home. Welcome the newest member of #TeamJordan: @Drake."
Drake is already releasing images of some of his designs via Twitter.
Fashion designing isn’t uncharted territories for the Toronto native, as he’s consulted for the NBA Toronto Raptors, as well as releasing his own clothing line, Very Own.
