Odell Beckham Jr. says he's been a Drake fan since his 'Degrassi' days

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has been spending a lot of time with Drake recently, even rooming with him while he worked on his new album.

Beckham opened up about their friendship in an interview with DraftKings, revealing that he's been a fan of the rapper since his days on the Canadian teen drama, "Degrassi: The Next Generation."

"I used to watch 'Degrassi,' funny enough," Beckham said. "To see his whole story and then to finally be able to meet him, and just - a guy like that whose mindset is very similar to mine. He wants to be the greatest, he wants to put out the best song every single time. I understand where he's at."
