Lil Wayne
Lil Wayne could not have picked a better successor. While Weezy F still holds title as one of the all-time greats, he’s proved to be that rare artist that can also pick and prep talent of the same caliber. Drake, and of course Nicki, both fall into the aforementioned category with the former teaming up with his mentor for a tour and stellar set of stage exclusives from Jordan Brand.
Amir Johnson
Now a Celtic, Amir Johnson came up as a Raptor after a straight-out-of-high-school start in Detroit. The formidable forward wore the “Black” Air Jordan 12 OVO PE on court, a rare feat that still holds KOC weight today.
Fabolous
Drake jumping on the “Throw It in the Bag” Remix way back was fortuitous as Fabolous Sport was one of the first rappers gifted the “OVO” Air Jordan 10s. Drizzy even went as far as to give Fab a rare re-gram when he posted a shot in the first OVO shoe release.
