Last night (July 16), the 2014 ESPYs got a little taste of Drizzy. Rapper Drake went back to his Degrassi: The Next Generation days and pulled hosting/acting duties during the annual sports awards show, and one of the many hilarious sketches between trophies features a former enemy and possible future collaborator... Chris Brown.
In a sketch entitled "Drake vs. Blake," the "Hold On, We're Going Home" rapper and Los Angeles Clippers player Blake Griffin had a little bit of a face-off regarding the title of their upcoming blockbuster film. Destined to be a hit, the two name rhymers couldn't convince others if the film's name should be "Drake and Blake" or "Blake and Drake."
What drama!
In typical comedic sketch style, Drake and Griffin battle it out for the lead title name in a series of escalating pranks. There's a less-than-sexy twerk-a-gram, a spa commercial with an aging co-star and, in a major twist, a surgery gone horribly awry.
Instead of an actual, qualified surgeon, the man performing Drake's appendectomy is none other than his fellow R&B cohort Chris Brown!
Say "Breezy" and breathe deep...
The sketch as a whole is hilarious, but the true star is "America's Sweetheart" Chris Brown. Watch the comedic ESPYs video below:
The nearly five-minute video isn't the first time recently that Drake and Brown have been spotted together. Formerly enemies thanks to a squabble over their ex-girlfriend Rihanna, Drake and Brown seem to have put their past aside and are reportedly recording new music together. The two were seen in the studio earlier this month rocking out to some (likely) sick new beats.
