Drake once experienced a meeting of the minds like no other.
That’s what the Toronto-born rapper, 36, told the crowd at his L.A. show on Monday when he revisited a once-in-a-lifetime experience he once shared in a tour bus with Lil Wayne and the late NBA superstar Kobe Bryant.
While speaking with the audience at his It’s All A Blur tour, Drake was handed one of Bryant’s jerseys on stage by a fan. The timing was especially significant, as it was just a few days before what would have been Bryant’s 45th birthday.

Drake then revealed that Lil Wayne let him listen to one of his most iconic albums of all time first-hand, The Carter III, noting that Wayne then invited Bryant to join the exclusive listening party.
