​Cadence Weapon Tweets Ode to Toronto Raptors

Drake isn't the only Canadian rapper that's been a longtime supporter of Toronto's basketball team. Cadence Weapon has just revealed himself to be a lifelong fan, penning a touching tribute to the Raptors ahead of tonight's Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
 
The rapper reminisces about the first game he ever saw (an exhibition game against the Vancouver Grizzlies in 1999), the brutal lineups fans had to suffer through for years and the tragedy of getting excited about a slice of Pizza Pizza if the Raps could scrounge more than 100 points and win.
 
Despite the air of disbelief that remains, Cadence Weapon goes on to say that he's ready to "cherish the moment" tonight, all while remembering the years of being a Raptors fans that were a lot less exciting.
 
Read his full tweet thread below.
 
The Raptors play the Golden State Warriors in what could be a series-winning Game 5 tonight in Toronto. The game starts at 9 p.m. EDT.
