Rapper-Designed Gentlemen's Clubs

'The Ballet' by Drake Spotlights Female Dancers in a New Way

'The Ballet' is the name of a gentlemen's club that was created by Drake. So far just a pop-up, the experience is a part of the Toronto rapper's stop in Texas for his 'Summer Sixteen' tour.

In order to promote The Ballet in Houston, where it's set to occur, Drake released a simplistic image of a woman's feet in point shoes, along with the pop-up's name in a cursive typography. In addition to this, he included a caption that reads "Tonight is a different take on how it should be done in Houston. Treat yourself don't cheat yourself. Where the women are on a pedestal and the surroundings are unforgettable."

Although The Ballet pop-up has already passed, the rapper finished the caption with "Grand opening early 2017," revealing that he's likely to open a permanent club sometime in the near future.
