Eagles linebacker Mychal Kendricks concerned over Drake’s next visit to Philadelphia

The sports world entered the Drave vs. Meek Mill feud earlier this week after the Canadian rapper released "Back to Back" with art featuring the Toronto Blue Jays' victory over the Phillies in the 1993 World Series.

Now, football has gotten in on the action.

TMZ recently spoke with Eagles linebacker Mychal Kendricks, who claims that Meek "definitely runs Philly" and wonders if Drizzy himself may have some trouble coming his way should he come to the City of Brotherly Love anytime soon.

"I wonder how it's going to be if Drake tries to come and perform there," he told TMZ.

Kendricks, however, just might have an ulterior motive behind his ostensible concern for Drake's safety in Philly.

After all, Kendricks and Rihanna have been known to flirt pretty openly on social media, with the pop star naming Kendricks a "Man Crush Monday" pick earlier this year.

Rihanna also dated Drake for a short period in 2013 after her relationship with Chris Brown imploded. And, of course, in the clip above, Kendricks says that he is mistaken for Drake "way too much."

"I heard she has a crazy aura and people's energy are just drawn to her and she has the ability to attract other people's energy," Kendricks told E! in February this year.

Naturally, that particular element of Rihanna's personality is up for debate. But it should be a whole lot easier for Kendricks to find out what's up without any impending competition from Drake in town.

So, good move Kendricks. You may just end up being the real winner in all this.

Because, really, Meek Mill sure isn't.
