Durant and Drake have been closse for a very long time. Durant was listed in the credits for Drake’s “For the Dogs” album as an artists and repertoire (A&R) representative last October. He was then named an executive producer on the deluxe version of the album entitled “Scary Hours III.”
Kevin Durant comments on being mentioned in the credits on Drake’s new album
“I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t one of the coolest moments of my life”

One of the most infamous moments between the two came when Durant tore his Achilles against the Toronto Raptors in the 2019 NBA Finals. Drake, a diehard Raptors fan, was very emotional seeing Durant being helped back to the locker room.

Devin Booker is also very good friends with the rapper. In a video posted by Booker teasing his Book 1s ahead of the season last year, Durant and Booker were seen at Drake’s concert in Arizona before the Austin show.
At this Glendale show, Drake hinted at moving to Phoenix to watch Durant and Booker play.
This did not end up happening, but Durant and Drake, two of the best in their respective fields for over 10-15 years now, have clearly maintained a strong relationship.
