Houston and tour with him, and as a result, Drake has been a City
Of Houston Ambassador, paying homage to Houston through his lyrics.
He frequently mentions Houston in his songs... and has also been
known to show kindness to the citizens of Houston.
"(The city) commends and appreciates Drake for dedicating his time
