Drake is an official Toronto Raptors global ambassador, and now the team’s refurbished training facility bears the name of his company, OVO.

The team announced that the facility has been renamed in honor of the record-setting rapper.

“We made it happen. Introducing the OVO Athletic Centre.” the Raptors tweeted, along with a video of Drake interacting with the team members.

“Introducing the OVO Athletic Centre, the official training facility for the Toronto Raptors,” the “Nice for What” rapper commented on an Instagram photo of the building.
