OKLAHOMA CITY – First, everyone wanted to know why Drake, a world-famous rapper, was sitting courtside in Oklahoma City on a Wednesday night to watch a humdrum Thunder-Rockets game in the NBA.
The next question: Who was the chatty senior couple next to him, and did they have any clue who the celebrity in the furry red coat was?
"Well, I knew his name was Drake," Renee Stanley told The Oklahoman, "but I didn’t know he was a rapper, and I didn’t know how popular he was. But let me tell ya, everybody else around me let me know."
Drake’s "new parents" are Renee, 71, and Jim Stanley, 75, of Oklahoma City. Yes, "my new parents" was how Drake captioned a selfie with the Stanleys that he shared to his 97.2 million Instagram followers.
"And that’s when my phone blew up," Renee said.
In the photo Drake and Jim Stanley are cheesing it up. Renee is looking at Drake instead of at the camera.
