Drake called Fury an "inspiration" and wished him "the best of luck" for the fight.
The 33-year-old Fury enters Saturday's bout with a record of 30-0-1, including a seventh-round knockout win over Wilder in their last fight in February 2020.
Wilder, 35, is 42-1-1 with 41 knockouts.
Saturday will mark the third meeting between Fury and Wilder, as they also fought to a split draw in December 2018.
Fury is set to put the WBC and The Ring heavyweight titles on the line in a battle between two of the most imposing and successful heavyweights in recent history.
The stakes are high since a win could set the stage for a unification bout with Oleksandr Usyk, who upset Anthony Joshua last month.
