After receiving season-ending ankle surgery on Monday night, New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham, Jr. was visited by rapper Drake.

Beckham and Drake posted about the visit on Instagram on Tuesday.

“Had to come visit bro...bounce back like 13 @obj),” Drake wrote.

The visit isn't for show. Drake and Beckham were roommates last year, according to GQ.

Beckham suffered an ankle injury during Sunday’s loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Beckham was one of four Giants’ wide receivers to suffer a severe injury on Sunday along with Dwayne Harris (broken foot), Brandon Marshall (ankle) and Sterling Shepard (ankle).

After coming out of surgery on Monday night, Beckham posted a message to fans on Instagram that he would come back stronger than ever.

“Thank u all for your prayers. You better believe I'll be back better than ever. God Speed,” Beckham wrote.
