Kevin Richardson's kids couldn't believe Drizzy was a fan.
The Backstreet Boys have soundtracked a lot of formative memories for fans over the years — including Drake. In a video interview with Billboard that went live Wednesday (June 24), the members of the boy band recalled the special moment they shared with Drizzy a few years ago in Toronto, which apparently included the rapper revealing his first kiss had been to one of their songs.
Sitting down with Billboard‘s Jerah Milligan, Nick Carter, Howie D, AJ McLean, Brian Littrell and Kevin Richardson were chatting about times when it finally dawned on their respective children how famous their parents actually are. That’s when the subject of Drake first came up, with Richardson saying, “For my kids, probably the coolest thing that ever happened is when we were on the DNA Tour.”
While stopped in Champagne Papi’s hometown, Richardson recalled that “we went to a restaurant, and it just happened to be Drake’s” go-to place to eat. “The maître d’ is like, ‘Excuse me, Drake is here, and he would love — when you’re finished — he would love to be able to come over and say hi,” the 1990s pop icon continues, mimicking the look of shock on sons Mason and Maxwell’s faces. “My kids were like, ‘Dad!'”
