Drake Threatens to Remove DeMar DeRozan's Jersey Banner
- Drake is a loyal fan of the Toronto Raptors and regularly attends their games.
- During a recent game, Drake publicly stated he would remove a DeRozan jersey banner if it were hung up.
- DeMar DeRozan responded with humor, suggesting Drake would not succeed in his intention.
Drake, a well-known fan of the Toronto Raptors, expressed his discontent regarding the possibility of the team retiring DeMar DeRozan's jersey during a game on November 2, 2024. The Raptors honored Vince Carter by retiring his number, which prompted discussions about DeRozan, a former player and six-time NBA All-Star. Drake made a provocative statement, claiming he would personally take down a banner for DeRozan if it were raised. DeRozan commented on Drake's remarks, suggesting it would be a challenge for him to climb high enough to remove the banner. Since being a key player for the Raptors from 2009 until 2018, DeRozan maintains a connection with the team despite now playing for the Sacramento Kings. The feud between the rapper and the basketball player sparked interest after DeRozan recently appeared in a diss track video aimed at Drake, which may have contributed to the ongoing tension.
