Drake made a statement at his recent concert that had the whole crowd buzzing. While performing “Rich Flex,” the 6 God threw a DeMar DeRozan Raptors jersey into the stands, sending a loud message that his friendship with the NBA star was officially over. The tension between them had been building for a while, especially after DeRozan seemed to side with Kendrick Lamar in the middle of the beef between the two rappers.
DeRozan even joined Kendrick on stage during his pop-up concert, vibing to K Dot’s diss track “Not Like Us,” which was aimed directly at Drake. That move had fans questioning where DeRozan’s loyalty really lay. Things didn’t stop there. LeBron James, who’s usually been in Drake’s corner, was caught in warm-ups rapping along to Kendrick’s diss track word-for-word, and that only added more fuel to the fire.
Drake isn’t the type to let things slide, and he made it clear at his concert that he doesn’t rock with people who try to play both sides. So, when he tossed that DeRozan jersey, it wasn’t just for show—it was the end of that friendship. Drizzy doesn’t forget when people switch up, and the jersey toss was his way of letting DeRozan know it’s over. If LeBron keeps singing Kendrick’s diss, don’t be surprised if he gets the same treatment. Drake’s not about to let anyone take shots and play both sides—loyalty’s everything to the sensitive king.
