Drake's 'Certified Lover Boy' album is out and athletes are here for it

At long last, Drake's new album "Certified Lover Boy" has been released. With Drake's ever-shifting sports fandom and ubiquitous presence at sporting events, the sports world has been buzzing since the album finally dropped around 1 a.m. ET Friday morning.

The album, originally expected to be released late last year, is Drake's first full-length album since 2018's "Scorpion." NBA stars Kevin Durant and LeBron James were plenty hyped heading into the release.

In August, Drake released an athlete-laden video for the song "Laugh Now Cry Later" which was shot at Nike's world headquarters and featured cameos from Durant, and NFL stars Odell Beckham Jr.
