Following the celebrity-driven support similar to Blaze Pizza, the Canadian rapper joins Dave’s Hot Chicken alongside other investors like Boston Red Sox Chairman Tom Werner and actor Samuel L. Jackson. 

Launched in 2017, the Drake will own less than 50% of the company, however, will stand as the biggest investor along with Werner and Samuel L. Jackson.

On his new partnership, Drake said,

“I tried the food and it was amazing. After meeting the founders and hearing their story, I jumped at the opportunity to invest.”

With the success of Drake’s new album, Dave’s Hot Chicken could expect an increase from the celebrity co-sign.

As previously reported, ‘CLB’ landed nine top 10 songs on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, with ‘Way 2 Sexy’ in the number one spot. Additionally, all the tracks from Certified Lover Boy were in the top 40 of Billboard’s Top 100.

Currently, Dave’s Hot Chicken has 22 locations throughout Califonia and is reportedly planning to expand into Chicago and into one of Drake’s favorite cities, Houston.
