Champagne Papi was given the opportunity to host the first ever NBA Awards that played on TNT last night. Being a fan of basketball, I don't think Drizzy could have ever declined the offer.
The rapper opened the awards with a long monologue that included some rather corny jokes. The show also had a performance from fellow Young Money member, Nicki Minaj. We absolutely love Drizzy as a rapper (not singer), but this whole hosting thing may need a bit more practice.
