Drake might have a death wish. Last night, the Toronto based rapper got into a heated exchange on the sidelines with 6^10 270 pound Cavs center Kendrick Perkins during game 1 of the Cavs-Raptors playoff series.
Raptors and their fans- as usual, hang around and make noise for a couple of weeks and then get knocked out 😆😂.

This went all the way into the tunnel, with Drake calling Perkins a “f—— p—-” and calling for him to come out. “I’m here in real life,” he said. He was mad.
After the confrontation, Perkins explained the Drake situation with ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
In a text message to ESPN, Kendrick Perkins says: “What happened was I was talking to my old teammate Serge (Ibaka) walking into halftime telling him ‘We about to win this game,’ and Drake butted in talking shit to me. So I said something back to him.”
Drake was made aware of Perk’s comments and had a pretty funny response on Instagram.

Drake has been talking shit throughout the playoffs but Perk is probably the wrong dude to mess with. Even with all of the security guards Perk would fuck Drake’s shit up. We’ll see if Perk continues with the beef when the Cavs play the Raptors again on Thursday.
