Vince Carter’s jersey retirement was overshadowed by Drake claiming he’d rip down Demar DeRozan’s hypothetical retired jersey.
Last night the NBA and the Toronto Raptors finally retired the jersey of hoop icon Vince Carter. A night celebrating the franchise’s first retired jersey quickly went viral for all the wrong reasons. The game featured the Raptors facing the Demar DeRozan and the Sacramento Kings. Raptors ambassador Drake was on hand for the special occasion and eventually made his way on the live broadcast.
When broadcasters inquired Drake’s opinion on potentially retiring DeRozan’s jersey the Candiana didn’t hold back.
“If you ever put a DeRozan banner up I’ll go up there and pull it down myself….shout out to Kyle” a hostile Drake proclaimed.
DeRozan was mentioned in Kendrick Lamar’s beefing ending hit “Not Like Us” and appeared in the following video. Toronto and Drake helped develop DeRozan into an NBA star, so it’s understandable that Drizzy is in his feelings.
Later the game cameras caught Drizzy mumbling “f*ck out of here P***y” as Demar passed by.
Demar was asked about the 6 God’s comments and shrugged them off by stating Drake and his beige rage would have a long way to climb. Later the Kings star would hop on Instagram to post Smokey from the movie Friday discussing his actions when Deebo does away. Seemingly clowning Drake for talking trash as he walked away.
