Drake greets University of Kentucky basketball fans at halftime of a 2014 game.

Drake has long professed his love for University of Kentucky men's basketball and he's now begun trolling on behalf of the Big Blue Nation.

News broke Wednesday night that Drake showed up on rival UCLA's campus to shoot some hoops – in a full UK game uniform.

The UK-UCLA rivalry has grown heated over the last couple of years thanks to Lonzo Ball and his father, LaVar. Lonzo Ball played one year at UCLA, which was enough for his knucklehead dad to proclaim him good enough to beat UK all by himself.
