Victor Wembanyama refused to join Drake on stage at a concert unless his teammates could too

Victor Wembanyama showed incredible loyalty to his teammates.

During his tour last year, Drake brought several athletes to join him on stage at his concerts. Victor Wembanyama, however, was not one of them.

According to JJ Redick, who recently appeared on 7PM in Brooklyn with Carmelo Anthony & Kid Mero, explained why the NBA Rookie of the Year frontrunner wasn’t one of those players.

Here is what he said:

“There was a Drake concert in Austin and he got asked to come up on stage because Drake was doing that with a bunch of NBA guys this offseason. And Wemby was like: Can my teammates come up on stage with me? Because they are going to be at the concert with me. And Drake’s camp was like: No. And he’s like: Then I don’t want to do it … What 19-year-old kid doesn’t want to go up on stage with Drake?”

Remember, at the point of Drake’s concert, Wembanyama hadn’t even played any preseason games for the San Antonio Spurs yet.

So that is incredible loyalty from the 2023 NBA Draft No. 1 overall pick toward players he had never even officially gone to battle with yet.

Wembanyama, however, is built different both on and off the court. In another recent interview, for example, he explained why he never drinks or does drugs.

Here is what he told The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor:

“I feel like I’m immune … Distractions like partying, alcohol, drugs, whatever. Like, why would I ever do that?”

Wembanyama is truly one-of-one and unlike any player we have ever seen before in the NBA.

He has a disciplined focus and mindset that will continue to get him far in this league.
