During the Toronto Raptors game against the Sacramento Kings, Drake didn’t hold back as he took a playful jab at former Raptors star DeMar DeRozan.
The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement as Drake attended the game, primarily to witness the jersey retirement of the legendary Vince Carter. Amid the celebrations, Drake found time to hop on the team’s broadcast and deliver some spicy commentary about DeRozan.
Reflecting on Carter’s honor, Drake couldn’t resist joking about DeRozan, playfully calling him a ‘goof.’ He quipped, “It’s unfortunate we’re playing this goof tonight,” further teasing that he’d personally take down any banner put up for DeRozan.
This light-hearted exchange between Drake and DeRozan stems from recent events, including DeRozan’s appearance in Kendrick Lamar’s music video, ‘Not Like Us,’ and his presence at a big concert in Los Angeles. Despite the jabs, it seems there’s no real animosity between the two.
In an earlier interview with the Sacramento Bee, DeRozan expressed warmth towards Drake, emphasizing that their bond remains strong. “Drake’s still my man, still my man, none of it changed,” DeRozan had commented, chalking it up to competitive entertainment.
DeRozan compared their friendly rivalry to iconic sports matchups, describing it as thrilling for fans who love the suspense and trash talk. “That’s what you want to see as a fan,” he explained, drawing parallels to classic one-on-one basketball showdowns.
Meanwhile, Drake’s antics during the game have become a social media delight, with a clip of him teasing DeRozan circulating widely. This playful banter only adds another layer to the storied friendship between the rapper and the basketball player.
Despite the playful jabs, it’s clear that the camaraderie between Drake and DeRozan is intact. Their friendly rivalry entertains fans and adds an exciting dynamic to both music and sports.
