When it comes to celebrity beef, Drake is no stranger. Recently, he found himself in hot water again, this time with NBA all-star DeMar DeRozan.
It all went down at the Raptors game on November 2nd, where Drake was present for Vince Carter’s jersey retirement. Coincidentally, the Sacramento Kings, DeRozan’s team, were in town. During the event, Drake reportedly referred to DeRozan as a ‘goof’ and made some under-the-breath comments.
DeRozan didn’t stay silent. He fired back through a post-game press conference and a cryptic Instagram Story, fueling the feud further. With both Drake and DeRozan having shared the spotlight for nearly a decade, their fallout seemed inevitable to some.
The situation caught the attention of Joe Budden, who had plenty to say on his podcast. Known for not mincing words, Budden disagreed with those who believe that Drake had given DeRozan clout back in the day. He referenced a ‘Not Like Us’ cameo and shared that if a friend refused to discuss issues, that friendship was no longer worth it.
Budden also criticized Drake’s methods of handling the conflict, stating that while Drake has the right to his feelings, it’s his inability to “navigate the conflict” that is problematic. His boldest move was labelling Drake a “b****” for his actions both during the broadcast and game sidelines, a comment sure to cause waves.
While Budden’s remarks have divided opinions, they have also stirred lively discussions among fans. Is Budden simply hating, or does he have a point? This saga leaves fans questioning where their loyalties lie in the ongoing drama.
