The Steph Curry–Drake bromance is well-documented (as is Drake’s bromance with anybody who’s ever been good at anything, ever). The two have enjoyed a little late-night In ‘N Out Burger before, and the Curry household has never been shy about doing Drake parodies involving everyday activities. But that’s nothing compared to Drake dropping a couple of Golden State references in his song “Summer Sixteen,” one of which involves Curry directly.
According to Curry, the story behind the lyric “Golden State running practice at my house” in “Summer Sixteen” comes from a rather mundane time he and his brother-in-law were playing one-on-one at Drake’s house with the rap star, plus family and friends, in the “stands.”

But, hey, when you’re a rich and famous rap star, it’s only natural to want to write lyrics about times that you hung out with other rich and famous people. (Note: it would be understandable that Drake would not write about playing Curry one-on-one, as that would inevitably have disastrous results for Drake.)
Curry also shed some light on how teammate Draymond Green reacted to getting a name drop in the song. It’s only a matter of time before Drake makes the clean sweep and mentions the entire Warriors roster, coaching staff and entire front office.
