Drake owned by DeMar DeRozan in failed Kendrick Lamar revenge

Duck apparently it is I still hold a grudge not only against Kendrick Lamar, but against anyone affiliated with the infamous diss track “Not Like Us.”

DeMar DeRozan and the Kings of Sacramento fell into the hands of Toronto Raptors in overtime, 131-128. This is just an afterthought of Drake’s action, almost always sitting courtside at Raptors games, doing his best to make it known that he still takes umbrage with NBA All-Star DeRozan, who became a big player in Toronto, spending his first nine seasons with the Raptors.

Superstar rapper Drake was on the Raptors’ hometown show, and the bitter Canadian said, “If you ever put up a DeRozan banner, I’ll go up there and take it down myself.” Well then. (Also, aren’t all Canadians supposed to be nice?)

And if you believe the lip-reading internet experts, the salty 38-year-old said something much more inappropriate at the final whistle (was it audible?) while the 35-year-old NBA The Kings’ veteran small forward left the court in the loss.

When asked about it after the game, DeRozan responded. “Well, he’s going to have a long road to take him down,” DeRozan said. “Tell him good luck.” He then dropped the microphone and left the podium.

Who is right? It’s easily DeRozan. If Drake has a problem with anyone, it should be Kendrick Lamar. Not to mention, it’s easy to talk loudly when you’re sitting on the sidelines while DeRozan is busy playing on the court (scoring 33 points, mind you).

DeRozan also went all out to defend Drake after the fallout.

Sure, it hurts that DeRozan chose sides, but remember that he and Kendrick Lamar, 37, both grew up in Compton just two years apart. Not to mention, Drake better be careful, considering the Compton native is the Super Bowl halftime performer.

Like DeRozan said, good luck.
