Like Drake he saved Venice FC

Drake contributed to saving Venice FC from bankruptcy.

Venice FC was sailing in bad waters from an economic point of view and, submerged by the debts, was one step away from bankruptcy.

The co-proprietary of Venice FC, Brad Katsuyama, was in contact with Drake and with his Chief Brand Officer, Matte Babel, and, after explaining the critical situation of the team, the rapper intervened. An agreement was stipulated that led to the collection of around 40 million euros by North American investors, including Drake. The Venice FC managed in a few weeks to pay its debts, pay back wages and plan future projects, including new acquisitions.

Drake also comes into play with Nocta, his brand, which will become the team's technical supplier.
