CLEVELAND, Ohio – Northeast Ohio may be getting another famous resident.

Complex.com's sports section reported on Friday that hip-hop superstar Drake has jumped on the Cleveland sports bandwagon. During a conference call regarding his hosting duties for ESPN's ESPY Awards (which air Wednesday night), Drake was asked about his reputation as a bandwagon sports fan and if he now plans to support teams in Cleveland.

Even though he is from Toronto, Drake's response was that he plans to look at real estate in the Cleveland area. He wants to attend Cavaliers and Browns games in support of LeBron James and Johnny Manziel, who Drake said are like family. Drizzy also said he roots for the three Canadian basketball players – Andrew Wiggins, Tristan Thompson and Anthony Bennett -- currently on the Cavs' roster.

Drake's love for Cleveland is rather interesting, considering the rap star has skipped out on the city recently. Drake notoriously canceled a concert in Cleveland last October.

The cancellation was part of a change in Drake's schedule that called for a few shows to be switched around. However, while other shows were rescheduled, the rapper and his team completely removed Cleveland the list.

When Drake announced his joint summer tour with Lil Wayne in June, Cleveland was noticeably absent from the list. Still, Drake told Complex he's been to Cleveland "time and time again" on tour. His last performance in the area was in 2012.

Let's hope local fans aren't bitter:
