Hip-hop artist Drake praised Cleveland and LeBron James on Thursday night at the House of Blues.Minutes before hip-hop artist Drake took the stage on Thursday night at the Cleveland House of Blues, camera phones and pocket digital cameras flashed like fire crackers as LeBron James and his party made their way to the balcony seats in a private area.
The King was here.
After Drake breezed through his first song, the Toronto native told the sold out crowd that he loved the city of Cleveland. He also thanked the city for supporting his career. Cleveland is the fifth stop on Drake's tour that ends July 27 in Vancouver.
Following cheers and several seconds of applause, Drake turned to his right and looked up toward the balcony.
"I want to thank LeBron James," Drake said. "Thank you man for being there for me. I'll do anything for you."
James nodded and smiled in agreement.
Cleveland fans hope to receive the same nod and smile from James when he becomes a free agent on July 1.
