Drake brings 90s nostalgia with Breaker High throwback at Raptors game

Drake loves breaking records and also Breaker High, it seems.

The Toronto rapper, who recently surpassed Taylor Swift's record for the most wins at the Billboard Music Awards, wore a sweatshirt with the logo for Breaker High at Tuesday's Toronto Raptors game.

The late 1990s series was filmed in Burnaby, B.C., and followed students who attend high school on a cruise ship.

Cast members included London, Ont., native Ryan Gosling and Tyler Labine of Brampton, Ont.

The plot maintained a light hearted tone dealing with issues like teen dating, finances, and friendship. 

Cori Stern created the series with science-fiction veteran David Winning helming the pilot and seven episodes.

The show ran from 1997 to 1998 on YTV and ended with 44 episodes. 

Raptors fans and viewers of the show united on social media in excitement over Drake's Canadian hoodie choice.

Of course, Drake himself is also a former teen TV series star, having played Jimmy Brooks on Degrassi: The Next Generation.

Many fans wondered whether the "Drake curse" would strike again as the rapper has been jokingly blamed for being bad luck for sports teams.

But Drake, who is an ambassador for the Raptors, sat courtside as the team beat the Philadelphia 76ers 125-89.
