In the video, Champagnepapi(external link), as he's known on Instagram, is in the gym with his personal trainer(external link) wearing a University of Alabama sweatshirt.
The Tide then posted the video to their own Twitter account, presumably for good luck.
Innocent enough, right? So you'd think.

Toronto Raptors fans take note.
Drake has been the Toronto Raptors global ambassador for more than five years and they have yet to win a championship.
And Kawhi Leonard did recently get featured on the rapper's Instagram, so stay tuned.
