It’s safe to say that Stephen Curry dominated the NBA over the last decade. The Golden State Warriors under the Steve Kerr-Curry era have reached six finals in the last nine seasons.
Steph along with Klay Thompson and Draymond Green formed a Warriors dynasty with sheer domination.
Moreover, this unstoppable run fetched him several nicknames over the years. Nicknames like Baby-faced Assassin, The Golden Boy, are pretty common.
But the name Chef almost became synonymous with the superstar.
How did he get that nickname? Let’s find out.
What’s the origin of the nickname Chef Curry?
Will it be hard to believe that it was a rapper who gave Steph the iconic nickname? Yes, it was the Canadian rapper/singer Drake.
The singer and Curry have a great friendship and it often shows up at events and shows.
During Drake’s 2023 music tour, It’s All A Blur, he gave a shout-out to the Dubs superstar and his family. Importantly, he referred to Steph as his brother.
Curry‘s nickname is widely popular among social media users as they mostly refer to the superstar as Chef in the comments.
The name became popular because of a song dropped by Drake, along with Steph’s wife, Ayesha Curry.
The song titled Chef Curry With The Pot sung by Drake and Ayesha took over the internet by storm in 2014. Moreover, Mrs. Curry dropped the video song on her YouTube which garnered more than 5 million views until 2023.
Substantially, the name Chef Curry became popular among the hoops community; eventually becoming synonymous with the superstar.
Furthermore, in an interview with Wired, the superstar himself clarified the origin story of the nickname. He said, “Drake dropped the first line… which is obviously a call to me kind of cooking him up on the court.”
However, he concluded by saying, “The real Chef Curry is Ayesha Curry.”
Steph says so because Ayesha Curry runs a successful restaurant business and does her magic in the kitchen as well.
Even though Steph’s collaboration, Drake has come out with flying colors for the superstar, once it backfired for Ayesha Curry. During Drake’s 2023 music tour across the country, Steph and his family attended the New York show.
While the rapper gave a shout-out to Steph, a video clip of Ayesha side-eyeing her husband went viral on social media. Following that, fans accused her of being jealous of her own husband.
Despite all the noise on social media, the couple continued to inspire their followers with love and affection.
