Drake “Taunts” Wale After Raptors Win Over Wizards
I’m pretty sure this was all in good fun. From MTV:
As an ambassador for the Toronto Raptors, Drake has many jobs. Gloating might be one of them.
Drake playfully tagged Wale in a scoreboard image of the Raptors defeating Folarin’s favorite team, the Washington Wizards [of which he is the Creative Liaison].
At the time the pic was taken, Drake’s face appeared on the jumbotron and the score was 86 to 64. Drizzy’s simple caption? “@wale.” The Raps ended up taking a 103-84 victory to remain undefeated at home. Drake might just be a lucky charm for the 5-1 squad.
Wale Puts Sneaker Mob On Blast Over Deceptive Headline
Spotted on HipHopDX:

The website Sneaker Mob quickly posted an article with a headline claiming that “Wale Camps Out For Supreme X AF1” before the rapper himself clarified that he was just there taking pictures with fans and Tweeted an underhanded slight at the site.

Sidebar: Kendall hanging out with French? Could the New York emcee be back on good terms with Khloe Kardashian (or, perhaps Jenner was with her in-law Kanye)?
