Drake jetted out of L.A. in exchange for his OG home bases of Toronto and Texas … but his “California Love” and admiration for Tupac Shakur remains intact!!!
Drake posted a selfie Monday night showing himself in a green, airbrushed Tupac “Only God Can Judge” t-shirt … complete with a pair of sparkling emerald-colored Timbaland boots to match.
An interesting wardrobe choice considering the Tupac estate went the extra distance to block Drake from using the “AI 2Pac” bars heard on his Kendrick Lamar diss “Taylor Made Freestyle.”
Tupac’s brother Mopreme Shakur told TMZ Hip Hop … Drake using the late rap legend’s voice was pretty much a cheat code and a cease-and-desist was eventually issued to kill the track.
Whether Drake’s trolling in the aftermath of his Kendrick beef remains to be seen, but his Tupac fandom is in a class of his own … Pac was his top Spotify artist just a couple of years ago.
Drake really got Not Like Us banned in Houston

One thing Drake doesn’t have to worry about in Houston is trolling … at least according to local DJ Ari, who revealed she’s been reprimanded more than once for spinning “Not Like Us” in nightclubs, and fans suspect it’s J Prince‘s team shutting it down!
It would have to be someone pretty powerful to block the biggest rap song of the year.
lord this done went viral omg 🤣🤦🏽♀️ https://t.co/gR6BX2ePRr

That strongarming might not fly with H-Town radio stations, though.
