No, Drake didn’t quickly put on a UConn shirt (although we admit it woulda been funny)

THE DRAKE BANDWAGON FANDOM METER does not appear to cover UConn. He appears to be a true loyal Kentucky fan.

Many a joke was made about Drake’s bandwagon fanship after he wound up in the Kentucky locker room post-Final Four victory. It’s understandable: people like calling people bandwagonners, and Drake does have a habit for bandwagonning. We did a whole post about it!

Drake’s shirt is actually a James Young logo, as James Pennington explains.

James Young is a freshman who plays for Kentucky, and he has his own personal logo, which is hilarious because he’s a college freshman who has his own logo.

You can tell the U-shape actually spells out “JY1.” He wears No. 1.In fact, Drake didn’t seem to bandwagon -- he looked rather forlorn about Kentucky’s loss (presuming this other popular photo is from tonight, which, judging from the hair, it isn’t)

Although it does appear the Huskies would’ve accepted his newfound fandom;
