DeMar DeRozan Trolls Drake After The Rapper And His OVO Crew’s Suspenseful Courtside Stare Down

You may have moved past Kendrick Lamar’s chart-topping Drake diss, “Not Like Like Us.” But Drake surely hasn’t. After Akademiks dispelled rumors of a reconciliation between Drake and Future, the “First Person Shooter” rapper attempted to flex his star power against another foe.

Yesterday (November 2), Drake attended the Toronto Raptors and the Sacramento Kings game at Scotiabank Arena. Instead of focusing on the friendly matchup, Drake and his longtime friend Nessel “Chubbs” Beezer decided to laser in on former Raptors star DeMar DeRozan (now the the Kings). Throughout the game, Drake could be heard hurling remarks at DeRozan (supposedly including “p*ssy” and “goof“), and it doesn’t seem to be sports related tension.

At one point, Drake and Chubbs (both courtside) can be seen standing up and staring down DeRozan (viewable here). Well, just as viewers at home caught the suspenseful moment, so did DeRozan. Over on Instagram, DeMar DeRozan decided to troll Drake back by posting a video clip from Friday (viewable here).

In the scene, starring Ice Cube (playing Craig) and Chris Tucker (playing Smokey), Tucker’s character attempts to regain tough points after being punked by the neighborhood bully, Deebo (played by the late Tommy Lister). “I got mind control over Deebo,” says Tucker. “He be like shut the f*ck up. I be quiet. But when he leaves I be talking again.”

This comes after Drake vowed to “pull down” DeRozan’s number should the Raptors ever decide to retire it after Vincent Carter’s number retirement celebration.

DeRozan claimed that he and Drake were “still family” even after he appeared in the “Not Like Us” music video. However, it appears Drake doesn’t feel that same.

Ab-Soul May Have Dissed Drake’s Associate, Chubbs, During A New Funk Flex Freestyle

Ab-Soul joined Funkmaster Flex‘s radio show on Monday to perform a new freestyle, which may be referencing Drake’s friend, Chubbs. On the show, he rapped over the beat from Big L‘s freestyle on The Stretch & Bobbito Show in 1998 while possibly referencing one of the OVO associate’s recent social media posts.

When Hot 97 shared the freestyle on YouTube, fans expressed their love for the effort in the comments section .”NY loves you Soul! God bless your journey always!” one user wrote. Another posted: “Nice, hella short. Which was to the point and dope. Hope no ish comes out negative for this man. The industry is wild lol.” As caught by HipHopDX, however, other fans noticed that it appears Soul may have been dissing Drake’s OVO affiliate Chubbs when he rapped: “Actions speak loud but so does moments of silence.” Last week, Chubbs posted a series of selfies on Instagram with the caption: “Actions Speak Louder Than Words. Y’all Boys Talk To Much.”

Both Soul and Chubbs have weighed in on the feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar on social media. Taking to X (formerly Twitter) back in July, Soul referenced Lamar’s diss track, “6:16 in LA.” He wrote: “GOD… my confession is yours!!! But, who am I if I don’t go to War? There’s opportunity when livin wit loss. I discover myself when I fall short… This was not a rap battle. It was scripture.” Chubbs, on the other hand, has dissed Lamar in posts online throughout the year as well. He once referred to him as a “little boy” who “knows better” than to take on OVO.

OVO Chubbs Likes IG Post Mocking ASAP Rocky’s New Drake Diss

OVO Chubbs has been riding with Drake for a decade. He’s appeared in videos and been spotted at parties with the Toronto superstar. He was even referenced by Kendrick Lamar on “Not Like Us.” The longtime OVO member has remained loyal to Drake, though, as evidenced by his recent social media activity. OVO Chubbs decided to like an Instagram post that poked fun at ASAP Rocky’s new single, “Ruby Rosary.” The single includes bars aimed at Drake, and like most people, Chubbs was not very impressed with what he heard.

@Keep6Solid made the initial IG post. It’s a pro-Drake account, as evidenced by the 6, and proceeded to lay into ASAP Rocky. The headline for the post made fun of both Rocky’s looks and his relationship with his more famous partner, Rihanna. The headline described the ASAP star as a “Metrosexual rapper and full-time kept man.” It also poked fun at J Cole, who was previously on Drake’s side before switching up. Cole contributed a verse to “Ruby Rosary,” confirming that he’s anti Aubrey moving forward. “J Cole is a slimeball,” the caption read. OVO Chubbs was seemingly onboard with both of these sentiments. He liked the post from his personal account.

ASAP Rocky’s bars are, admittedly, pretty weak. “Ruby Rosary” is a good song overall, and Cole skates, but Rocky stumbles when it comes to dissing Drizzy. Cut the sh*t, cut the lies, word to the wise,” he raps. “Who in your top five? Haha (F*ck your top five).” It’s clearly in reference to Drake, who has several top 5 bars under his belt. That said, nothing is really being said. It doesn’t get much better when ASAP Rocky tries to riff on Drake’s “Family Matters” and his “Buried Alive” interlude from 2011.

“I don’t get fresh step, b*tch, I’m buried alive,” Rocky raps. “I heard dawg talkin’ funny, like it’s Family Guy. Carin’ for n**gas like I’m Mary or Bob.” More nothing. It’s telling that Drake has become the loser of the 2024 rap beef when it comes to Kendrick Lamar. When it comes to ASAP Rocky, though, everyone agrees that Drizzy got the best of him each time out. OVO Chubbs didn’t go out of his way to bash his Harlem competitor, but his like made it clear that Rocky fell short.

Drake Celebrates His Head Of Security Chubbs On Instagram Amid Kendrick Lamar Beef

Drake still hasn’t publicly responded to Kendrick Lamar’s “Pop Out” at press time, but fans are already looking for the hints. Moreover, he did recently send a message to his head of security and OVO member Chubbs on his Instagram Story, including a picture of them together for what read like birthday well-wishes or some other form of celebratory remarks. “More life Capo,” the Toronto superstar wrote on the black-and-white pic of them together. “Plenty love in the family to go around and just wait till that other s**t comes back around [crying-laughing emoji] [party hat and confetti emoji] @chubbsview.”

Furthermore, this follows some other OVO affiliates (that Kendrick Lamar called out on his Drake diss tracks) defending their leader on social media. Baka Not Nice, for example, posted some videos of the 6ix God performing in Los Angeles for his most recent tour, and it was unsurprisingly electric to see the crowd rock out with him. Of course, this was most likely a direct rebuttal to “The Pop Out,” K.Dot’s concert that rounded up the whole West Coast behind him on his victory lap around the rap beef arena. However, the jury’s still out on whether or not Drizzy will ever return to this topic again or if he’ll focus on beating his competition with hits and more artistic engagement.

Drake’s Message To Chubbs

Meanwhile, there’s also some journalistic conflict in the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef, albeit some light caution-advising between two former colleagues. “Ak is the one on stream during the NBA finals,” Joe Budden recently said about DJ Akademiks’ coverage of the feud, in which he believes Ak’s relationship with Aubrey has played a bias-inducing role. “Good journalistic s**t you was doing, but you gotta know that any Drake news coming from you is viewed through a different type of eye. It comes off as a mission sent from Drake.”

Whether or not Drake and OVO choose to worry about themselves or chase a comeback will be one of 2024’s most burning questions. We already saw a bit of a return to normalcy, as we’re back with the old rumors about the XXXTENTACION murder that folks already debunked. Perhaps the Kendrick Lamar beef won’t cause a headache for Chubbs and company any longer. Or maybe it really comes back around.

OVO Chubbs Laughs Off Drake’s Beef With Metro Boomin & Supposed NAV Rift

Rap fans seem to be witnessing the start of a civil war within the game, and a lot of affected parties are starting to remark how overblown and dramatic it’s being presented as on social media. Moreover, OVO Chubbs -– Drake’s security guard, close friend, and much more -– recently commented on a post that reported on his partner’s current beef with a couple of opponents. Kendrick Lamar, Metro Boomin, and supposedly NAV, Future, Rick Ross, and others are against The Boy here. However, with just a simple crying-laughing emoji to offer, it seems like Chubbs is relatively unbothered about all this.

What’s more is that, given Drake’s recent speech during last night’s (Sunday, March 24) Big As The What? tour stop with J. Cole -– who’s also caught smoke in this beef -– it seems like he’s unbothered by this, too. “I got my head held high, my back straight, I’m ten f**king toes down,” he told the crowd. “And I know no matter what there’s not another n***a that could ever f**k with me on this Earth.” This seemed more of a direct reference to Kendrick Lamar asserting the hip-hop crown, but could also apply to other spats.

One of these, fans think, is Drake’s rift with NAV, as the latter seemed to unfollow the former on Instagram, something that Rick Ross also apparently chose as his stance. While it’s not really clear if this actually coincides with the release of Future and Metro Boomin’s new album, that’s still the prevailing narrative online. NAV is likely loyal to Metro Boomin, who has been supposedly beefing with Drizzy for a while now, as they have a collab tape together. But it’s also quite odd to see so many supposedly tight relationships crumble.

As such, a lot of fans are still calling cap on the whole affair, either it not being as deep as people think or it being impossible that the “Scholarships” duo is at odds, since Metro Boomin seemed to shut this down recently. But from what this beef story has held so far, it seems like anything is possible. Maybe we won’t ever get direct confirmation on these conflicts, but they definitely paint the rap world under a different context. On that note, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and more updates on Drake.
