Lots of NBA players tweeted about Drake’s new album, Certified Lover Boy, but only one was worth appearing on his new music video: Kawhi Leonard, of course.
The Clippers star made a cameo in the music video for Way 2 Sexy, which was released on Friday and features rappers Future and Young Thug. Leonard helped the trio recreate the visuals from the Boyz II Men’s video “Water Runs Dry”, complete with all-white outfits and choreographed dances. (If there are Clippers fans concerned about Leonard’s stuck too much after off-season knee surgery, don’t worry. The movements were pretty limited.)

Leonard also gave a lot of meme fuel to the NBA Twitter verse with this Ricky Bobby-esque pose.
The connection between Drake and Kawhi dates back to the 2018-19 season when Leonard led the Raptors to the NBA title in one of the most impressive single playoffs in league history. A Toronto native and the Raptors’ official brand ambassador, Drake was routinely seen cheering on his home squad from the sidelines and hopping on the team bus to the championship parade two years ago.
But even with that context, no one could have seen it coming. But surprise gigs are exactly what “fun guys” do.
