Georgia Amoore and the 16th-ranked Kentucky women's basketball have performed at a high level throughout the 2024-25 season. And their campaign got much better following a gift from popular hip-hop artist Drake.
Kentucky's Instagram account made a post on Thursday, showing the program received a gift worth $250 million from Drake and his clothing brand, Nocta. In the post, they are donning the gifted gear to show their gratitude to the artist.
"Thank you, @champagnepapi and @officialnocta, for the gear," the post caption read.
