Drake takes Kanye West's spot at Nike, Joins Jordan Brand ? (Article)

#AMPtv got the word that Young Money's Drake is making himself bigger than a artist just months after taking an executive position with the NBA's Toronto Raptors by linking up with Nike subsidiary Jordan Brand.

 The Toronto superstar broke the news of his Jordan partnership during a performance near Nike's Portland headquarters the other night (December 3).

"Growing up, I'm sure we idolized this guy. He goes by the name of Michael Jordan, you understand what I'm saying?" Drake said to the crowd at the Rose Garden Arena during his tour stop in Portland, Oregon, on Tuesday night. Known for its microbreweries, chainsaw wielding and local hero Timber Joey, Portland is also home to Nike and Jordan Brand's corporate offices. "So today, I came to Portland and I officially became inducted into the Team Jordan family so I feel like I'm at home right now, if you understand what I'm talking about," Drake said without getting into specifics. "And it is a family and I don't take that word lightly."

 Drizzy also resorted to his Instagram to gloat about the situation.

Drake took to Instagram soon thereafter to share photos of two offerings from their collaboration: AIr Jordan 10's and OVO Stingray 12's. Jordan announced the partnership early this morning on Twitter, tweeting: "He's home. Welcomem the newest member of #TeamJordan: @Drake."
