Canadian rapper Drake rented out the entire Dodger Stadium for a romantic date with Johanna Leia. Leia is the mother of Amari Bailey, a freshman UCLA basketball recruit for the 2022 season.
Drake and Leia were seen from a ABC7 helicopter dining alone in the massive stadium on July 9. A spokesperson from the Dodgers said that Drake had made a large donation to the team, and the empty stadium for his date was a thank you to the Toronto rapper.
Speculation began about Drake and Leia after he showed up at one of Bailey’s high school games last month with actor Michael B. Jordan. Bailey was a senior at the Sierra Canyon School in Chatsworth, Calif. Bronny James, the son of LeBron James, was also on the Sierra Canyon basketball team. While some folks assumed he was there to watch James play, others wondered if he was dating Leia, who he sat next to during the game he attended with Jordan.
According to TMZ, the couple has been dating for several months after meeting at one of the high school games. Drake has also been mentoring Bailey. Twitter users had fun with the news and cut up on the social media platform.
