Drake Spotted With Ayesha Curry And Her Friends In Milan

On Instagram, Ayesha shared a carousel of the trip, wine-cellar tours, pasta, Florence landmarks, and a playful caption.

The friendships here aren’t new. Drake’s ties to the Curry family go back years; he’s referenced Stephen Curry in lyrics, showed up courtside during Warriors runs, and even sports a Curry-with-a-halo tattoo. Ayesha, Canadian by birth, has likewise kept things friendly with the Toronto icon. 

When the Drake–Kendrick Lamar feud dominated timelines last year, hoops fans noticed the Currys’ circle of loyalty, Steph even went viral for bristling at yet another arena DJ blasting “Not Like Us” during Team USA summer exhibitions. He later said the moment was less about picking sides and more about hearing the track everywhere, all the time.

Naturally, a photo of Ayesha alongside Drake poured gasoline on the discourse machine. But context matters: this was a post-show group snap, the sort of backstage “thanks for coming” moment that happens nightly on tour. Ayesha’s feed showed a European birthday weekend with friends and family.

Drake’s was another packed date on a short European run after finishing his U.K. shows. Celebrities move in overlapping circles, and music, sports, and fashion are among those that collide in Milan.

At the end of the day, it was just a group picture after a concert. Drake has been close with the Curry family for years, so it wasn’t surprising to see Ayesha and her friends backstage celebrating the night. She was in Italy for her cousin’s birthday, he was in town for his tour, and their circles overlapped. Nothing more, nothing less.

Of course, once the photo hit social media it instantly went viral. That’s the nature of having two huge names like Drake and the Curry family involved; fans will always add layers of drama and speculation. 

But in reality, it looked like a simple moment of friends linking up overseas, the kind of thing that happens all the time in music and sports culture.
