Drake made a hilarious New Balance joke in front of everybody at Nike headquarters and it didn’t seem to go over too well

Listen, man. Say what you want about Drake. His music can be kind of corny sometimes, to be sure. But he also hits the nail on the head a lot too.

He also definitely has some sort of sports curse following him. I’m not sure what it is or how it actually works, but it definitely exists in. You can’t tell me otherwise.

But, when you put all that to the side, you see that the dude is actually…kind of funny. Drake is hilarious, man. He’s got jokes. Really good shady and spicy jokes, too.

He actually laid one on Nike on Thursday night, which is a bit of a case of friendly fire considering that Drake is a Nike endorsee. But hey, man. Jokes are jokes. And the one he told on Friday is a good one.

Nike is celebrating it’s 50th anniversary this year. Obviously, the company is old. How old, you ask? Drake has the answer.

Nike is 50. Nike’s so old, it’s wearing New Balance.” 

YEOOOOOOOOOO. That’s golden. So golden. For those of you who aren’t in tune with the sneaker world, Nike is the leader. It’s the biggest sneaker company out there.

But New Balance? It’s climbing up the ranks, man. So much so that Nike reportedly has concerns that some of its customers are moving to New Balance.

That’s a bit of inside baseball, so it’s not anything to really worry about. But that’s why you hear some of the cringey laughs you do in the video. It’s great.

Shoutout to Drake for bringing some humor to the party. Please, give us some New Balance bars soon, Drizzy. The streets need it.
