Drake is getting into the fast-food business.
The Certified Lover Boy has purchased a minority stake in Dave’s Hot Chicken. According to Bloomberg, Drake will own less than 50% of the fried-chicken chain alongside investors such as Samuel L. Jackson and Boston Red Sox Chairman Tom Werner.
As its most high-profile investor, Drake’s involvement will likely give a boost to the fast-food restaurant. Launched in 2017, Dave’s now has 22 locations mostly in California and is planning 25 more by the end of the year.
“I tried the food and it was amazing. After meeting the founders and hearing their story, I jumped at the opportunity to invest,” said Drake, who recently posted a photo of himself with Dave’s chicken tenders, pickles, and crinkle-cut fries.
