Drake shows support for Conor McGregor, opens Toronto press conference raucously
The Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor tour made a stop in Great White North Wednesday night. And what is an event in Toronto without a Drake appearance?
Drake greeted McGregor before the press conference. The two looked friendly, sharing a hug.
“It’s good to be in your city,” McGregor told the rapper.
