Drake's connection to the collaboration
In 2017, Drake took to amplifying obscure television shows when he became the executive producer and brought back the british crime series Top Boy.
Aubrey Graham, popularly known as Drake, was billed as the producer of the show and revived the TV show, which only existed on DVD's to a Netflix series. Following its cancelation in 2013, he expressed an interest in producing the show.
In 2014, he spoke about the show via an Instagram post, in which he posted a picture of Ashley Walters, writing that it was the best show he'd seen.
After learning about the cancelation via fans, he joined the show as a producer. Ashley Walters told Radio 1 Newbeat show in a podcast saying:
"“Next thing I knew, we were sitting in a room with Netflix. And here we are."
Now that the series has been rebooted with a second season, Drake has leveraged his own Nike line, NOCTA, for a collaboration capsule of the apparel. Previously, Netflix and Nike collaborated on an offering for the popular sci-fi show, Stranger Things, for an apparel line in 2019.
