Drake is not happy with Raptors legend DeMar DeRozan.
Over the summer, DeRozan, who now plays for the Sacramento Kings, appeared in the video for the Drake diss song ‘They Not Like Us’ by Kendrick Lamar.
Despite appearing in Kendrick’s video, DeRozan said he still had love for Drake.
“Drake’s still my man, still my man, none of it changed,” “It’s so easy to get overlooked and look at it for what it looks like, but at the end of the day it’s music, entertainment. Two of the biggest rappers in the world went at it from a competitive standpoint and they battled it out. That’s what you want to see as a fan: Kobe (Bryant) playing (Michael) Jordan 1-on-1 and see who wins, see the trash talking, and whoever wins out of that, you’re still going to have the debate, so that’s all that is.”
On Saturday night, the Kings took on the Raptors in Toronto, and Drake sat courtside to watch.
During the game, Drake stared down and cursed at DeRozan.

Drake would later jump on the Raptors broadcast to say he would rip DeRozan’s jersey from the rafters if they ever retired his jersey in Toronto.
“If you ever put up a DeRozan banner, I’ll go up there and pull it down myself.” said Drake.
DeRozan was asked about Drake’s comments and this was his response.
DeMar DeRozan’s reaction to Drake saying he’d pull down his banner if Toronto put one up:
“Well, he’s going to have a long way to climb to take it down…Tell him good luck.”
