Redeem now - Drake thought Patrón tequila was invented by "Ghostbusters" star Dan Aykroyd.
- The Canadian rapper made the admission during a recent appearance on "Sundae Conversation."
- In 2005, Aykroyd started a company to import Patrón into Canada.
Caleb Pressley and his sidekick Glenny Balls had Drake in stitches during the Canadian rapper's recent appearance on "Sundae Conversation" as they teased him about his penchant for expensive jewelry, his parenting skills, and even his preferences in the bedroom.
The tables were turned, however, when Drake revealed to the pair that he thought "Ghostbusters" star Dan Aykroyd invented the famous tequila brand Patrón.
"Patrón, like, invented it, so had to live a decent life right?" Drake said of Aykroyd when discussing with Pressley and Glenny Balls who he thinks would be in the "Canadian Life Hall of Fame."
"What? Dan Aykroyd, like the 'Blues Brother' Dan Aykroyd? No he didn't," said Glenny Balls to Drake.
"Yeah, that's his liquor," replied Drake. "Who do you think invented it, T-Pain?"
After more back-and-forth and plenty of laughs from everyone, it was eventually concluded that Aykroyd did not invent Patrón.
It was, in fact, invented by John Paul DeJoria in 1989.
But while Drake may have been wrong, there is a simple explanation as to why he thought Patrón was Aykroyd's liquor.
Aykroyd launched his own vodka brand, Crystal Head, in 2007, but before that, in 2005 he set up a company to import Patrón tequila into Canada, according to the BBC.
So essentially, Aykroyd is the reason Canadians started drinking Patrón.
Like Aykroyd, Drake has his own liquor brand, Virginia Black Whiskey, which he launched in 2016 in collaboration with DeLeón Tequila founder Brent Hocking.
Last month, Uproxx taste-tested the whiskey alongside four other celebrity whiskey brands: Bob Dylan's Heaven's Door Redbreast Edition; Matthew McConaughey's Longbranch; Scottie Pippen's DIGITS Bourbon; and Terry Bradshaw's Bradshaw Bourbon.
Virginia Black came in last.
"The 40 percent ABV meant that water kind of took over the whole flavor profile and left a faint hint of what whiskey might have been in those barrels," wrote Uproxx. "This was just ... so disappointing."
