Multi-awarded hip-hop artist Drake was supposed to promote his new album ‘VIEWS’ during his appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, but instead, he ended up dunking a miniature basketball to the host’s face.
Fallon challenged the 29-year-old ‘Hotline Bling’ rapper, who’s also the global ambassador for the Toronto Raptors, to a very unconventional game of ‘Faceketball,’ during his show on Thursday (Friday in Manila).
The pair wore customized head gears with basketball rims, while Drake chose his hometown Raptors’ colors of red and purple as his set of game balls.
The makeshift game started as a simple shooting contest, up until Fallon hilariously dunked his attempt after missing all of his long-ranged shots.
Drake capped off their improvised dunk contest with a 360 dunk, with a sticker of ‘mini’ drake attached to the ball.
The actor turned musician’s fourth studio album, Views, has debuted atop the Billboard 200, with 20 simultaneous hits making the chart. Khristian Ibarrola
