Drake had the sports world laughing and cheering as he hosted the 2014 ESPY Awards on Wednesday night. The Young Money superstar had many surprises in store for the audience with various comical skits, but one that has everyone talking was his performance of a song called “Side Pieces,” in which he was joined on stage by R&B legend Brian McKnight.
Looking like he just stepped off a boat in the tropics, wearing a cream colored linen outfit, and performing in front a breezy island sunset scene, the rapper/singer sang about the world of side chicks in professional sports.
“This goes out to all my side pieces, you know you’ll never be the main one / City to city I’ll see you when we’re in the same one,” he sang before introducing Brian McKnight, who asked all the side pieces in training to wave their hands in the air.

Additionally, Drake performed another song called “Honorable Mention” (The ESPY’s Song for Losers), which included some shots at people like rapper Macklemore, as he called him out for winning at the Grammy’s this year.
“Real talent doesn’t always win championships, like real music doesn’t always win Grammys but we’re okay,” he sang.
