Victor Wembanyama's decision not to join Drake on stage at a concert sparked discussion among an NBA insider and player because Wemby showed loyalty for his teammates.
Victor Wembanyama, the rising star of the San Antonio Spurs, showcased not just his exceptional skills on the court during his debut NBA season but also his remarkable humility off the court. In a surprising turn of events, Wembanyama declined an invitation from the renowned music artist Drake to join him on stage during a concert in 2023. Interestingly, this only came to light when NBA insider JJ Redick sat with Carmelo Anthony on his podcast 7PM in Brooklyn.
During his time at the podcast, Redick said, “There was a Drake concert in Austin and he got asked to come up on stage because Drake was doing that with a bunch of NBA guys this offseason. And Wemby was like 'Can my teammates come up on stage with me? Because they are going to be at the concert with me.' And Drake’s camp was like 'No'. And he’s like 'Then I don’t want to do it' … What 19-year-old kid doesn’t want to go up on stage with Drake?”
