Drake sits down with the team of First Take on ESPN to speak about the relationship he has with superstar quarterback Johnny Manziel.

Drake defends the Texas A&M QB from all the criticism he has received from the media for his “immature” actions. The Toronto rapper says that he encourages the young football star to have a stronger discipline than everybody else because they are in it for the long run.

Drake also spoke on the weekend that Johnny Manziel spent with him in Toronto saying “It bothers me, and it is very offensive to me, for people to think that when they hang out with Drizzy that their careers is going down the drain.”

Check out the very interesting interview with Skip, Stephen A. Smith and Drizzy below.
