Rap star Drake trolled Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani after the Toronto Blue Jays took a 3-2 series lead in the World Series.
The Canadian-born rapper is known for representing his nation’s sports teams, and with the Blue Jays on the verge of winning a title, there is no secret which side he is supporting.
Once the Blue Jays clinched their spots in the World Series by beating the Seattle Mariners in seven games, Drake posted a video on his story celebrating the final out of the ALCS. “One strike away, we’re going to the big show,” Drake said in the video. “Get the boys a pizza and some Cokes.”

After the Dodgers lost 6-1 to the Jays in Game 5, Drake took to social media to post a photo of Ohtani, captioned “ONE MORE!!!!”
Drake has some extra stakes in this World Series, considering one of the narratives going around is based on his dramatic rap battle loss to Compton-based artist Kendrick Lamar.
Lamar famously released “Not Like Us,” a hit song that attacked Drake’s character and persona. It has been played at multiple Dodger games, and Lamar is known for representing the city of Los Angeles, throwing out the first pitch at a Dodgers game before, and sporting their signature baseball cap.

Given the nature of the conflict between the artists and the fact that both teams are in the World Series, their music has been featured on the Fox broadcast.
In the lead-up to the World Series, Ohtani was asked about the Drake-Kendrick Lamar narrative, though he did not seem well-informed on the topic.
“I’m not too knowledgeable of music,” Ohtani said.
The Dodgers will get the chance to even up the series on Friday, Oct. 31, where Ohtani and the city of Los Angeles will want to give another loss to Drake and his city of Toronto.
