Drake and OVO have teamed up with Mitchell & Ness for a Toronto Raptors clothing collaboration and the team's own Lou Williams stars in a commercial for the gear.
Drizzy offered up a first look at the collection this week. The line includes an assortment of T-shirts, hoodies, crewnecks, hats and more. In the minute and a half long clip, Williams sports pieces from the new line while practicing his game inside the Air Canada Centre.
The Toronto Raptors and Drake first revealed their collaborative efforts last year after a video of the self-proclaimed "6 God" cleaning himself with a lint roller while seated front row at Game 2 of the first-round NBA playoff series between the Raptors and the Brooklyn Nets went viral. The Raptors then decided to hand out 1,200 limited edition Drake/OVO lint rollers to diehard fans sitting in the "416 Zone."
The Toronto Star reported that Bounce, a Proctor & Gamble company "has come on board as the official lint roller supplier of the Raptors."
Drake now serves as a global ambassador for the team.
Last August, news broke that the NBA requested that the team strip Drizzy of his title because of a comment made at his 2014 OVO Fest.
As previously reported, Drake was accused of tampering following comments made during the annual festival.
"Before we leave, I just want to show one of my brothers something. You know, my brother Kevin Durant was kind enough to come to the show tonight and watch us. I just want him to see what would happen if he came to play in Toronto. Let him know what would happen," he said to KD who was in the audience.
The NBA later denied the claim.
