Multi-Grammy-winning artist Drake recently released his much anticipated Hip-Hop album 'Certified Lover Boy', which features popular artists like Future, Young Thug, and Travis Scott. Simultaneously, a video for one of the popular songs 'Way 2 Sexy' was also released, in which Drake, Future, Young Thug and Kawhi Leonard are seen parodying yesteryear pop sensation Backstreet Boys.

The video parodies various pop culture references, including Sylvester Stallone's popular movie franchise 'Rambo' and Michael Jackson's iconic dance steps. However, NBA fans were quick to point out Leonard's appearance in the video, and here are some of the funniest tweets -

Kawhi Leonard appears around the 2:41 mark, clad in an all-white attire alongside Future and Drake. Leonard breaks into a groove for a few seconds in the background, following which the camera focuses on him after Drake and Future gesture towards him. The NBA superstar acts clueless in that instance, and then the camera cuts to a different montage.

Kawhi Leonard is usually very conservative in his media and public appearances, and his participation in Drake's music video comes as a mild surprise. However, he is always known to unintentionally provide comic relief, whether it was his laugh during a Raptors presser or his poker-face expressions which he gives from time to time.
