Drake has tapped one of his “favorite people in life,” Action Bronson, as one of the faces of OVO’s NFL Winter ‘23 collection.
Previewed on Tuesday (December 12) with a series of photos of both Bronson and Snoop Dogg in the new line, the full collection will be available on December 15. The latter is seen modeling a Pittsburgh Steelers varsity jacket and hoodie, while the “Baby Blue” rapper is holding it down for the New York Jets.

Posting one of Bronson’s photos to his Instagram story, Drizzy captioned it, “One of my favorite people in life.”
You can view Drake’s post below, along with the shots of Bronson and Snoop.
Drake isn’t the only big fan of Action Bronson, as The Alchemistshared some really kind words about their decade-long friendship while celebrating AB’s birthday last year.
“Man, You snap your fingers and 10 years passes by. A fucken decade. Its crazy because we’ve done a lot, individually & together, and in some ways it feels like we haven’t even started really kicking ass yet,” he wrote. “Bam is a maniac like me. But even more maniac. The amount of things he has approached, tackled & conquered since I’ve known him is actually wild. Not normal.

“We made history together in many ways and laid down our own blueprints for how to succeed simultaneously in multiple fields of entertainment by doing things our way. & u can see, hear & taste the influence everywhere. Now we both got kids , drink seltzer water and listen to talk radio. But aint shit changed we are still maniacs.”
The super-producer also hinted at more collaborations on the way coming up next year. “Stay tuned next year and see. Happy birthday to my brother Bam Bam Baklava @bambambaklava love you fool,” Alchemist concluded.

“You have a way with words to touch the heart. Love you bro,” the Queens MC responded to the love.
As for Drizzy, it looks like one person he’s no longer a fan of is Metro Boomin – as he recently unfollowed the producer after some shade he seemingly threw over the success of Her Loss.

Metro had previously expressed annoyance that Her Loss, Drake’s collaborative album with 21 Savage, keeps winning awards over his own album Heroes & Villains.
The apparent rift started after it was pointed out to Metro Boomin that Heroes & Villains had amassed more streams in a single year (3.7 billion) than any rap album since 2018, and is currently generating more than twice the amount of daily streams as Her Loss.
Commenting on the statistic, Metro took aim at the success of Her Loss by tweeting: “Yet Her Loss keeps winning rap album of the year over H&V. Proof that award shows are just politics and not for me.
“Idc about awards honestly, the true award and REWARD is knowing that the music I spend so much time on brings joy to people’s everyday lives.”

Drake appeared to fire back at Metro on his Instagram Stories by quoting the JAY-Z song “Heart of the City (Ain’t No Love)”: “Damn, little mans, I’m just tryin’ to do me/ If the record’s two mil, I’m just tryin’ to move three.”
Now, Drake has severed Metro from his social media, with the Boominati boss no longer appearing in the list of accounts he follows on Instagram.

Metro, however, is still following Drake on the platform as of this writing.
