Drake Makes Toronto Raptors Broadcast Focus On Jessie Reyez And Gushes Over Her

by

Drake always reps his city, whether it’s attending NBA games and hopping on broadcasts to support his beloved Toronto Raptors or shouting out the 6ix’s musical talent. During a Raptors game versus the Sacramento Kings this month, he combined both by urging the Toronto basketball team’s broadcast to turn the cameras over to Jessie Reyez, who was watching the game from the sidelines. “Put the camera on Jessie Reyez,” the OVO mogul remarked on air. “She looks 29 out of ten tonight. Let’s get a camera shot of her, forget these clowns. Oh, yeah, let’s get a shot of her real – Look at that. Wowzers. Wowzers. An absolute national treasure right there.”

Meanwhile, in other Drake-related sports news, he didn’t have the best gambling luck in the world recently, adding more fuel to the “Drizzy curse” fire. He bet on Mike Tyson to beat Jake Paul in their boxing match last night (Friday, November 15), but Paul’s victory resulted in him losing $355K. As a proud Stake affiliate and betting man, we’re sure that Aubrey Graham’s stacks of millions don’t make him sweat over a six-figure loss.

Nevertheless, there are some other rumblings concerning Drake in the sports world these days, and they have to do with the aforementioned Sacramento Kings. One of their players, DeMar DeRozan, was a Toronto Raptor at one point before moving to other teams, eventually landing with the Kings in his native California. The superstar rapper shaded DeRozan through various means when he attended the Raptors’ first game against the Kings this season, and it was all due to the basketball player’s choice to attend Kendrick Lamar’s Juneteenth concert and appear in the “Not Like Us” music video dissing the 6ix God.

“I think Drake was hurt a little bit because of the relationship he built with DeMar in Toronto,” NBA star Carmelo Anthony recently posited. “Representing the 6ix, Raptors — You know that was a lot of connection with those two. He’s a Raptor for life from a basketball standpoint. Yes, that jersey should be going up. Drake did a lot when he said, ‘I’ma go up there and take it down.’ That part is a lot. Those are shots. You my man, we in the crib, we hanging, we building the 6ix up. From that standpoint, that would f**k me up, too.”

DeMar DeRozan Mocks Drake Once More After Mean-Mugging At Raptors-Kings Game

Drake and DeMar DeRozan were once good friends, but the former Toronto Raptor chose his side in the Kendrick Lamar beef and ended up going to the Sacramento Kings later in his career. Now, the 6ix God is pretty peeved. He attended the Kings-Raptors game in his home city, and we’re sure he’s pretty pleased that Toronto won. But what likely made the OVO mogul happier was being able to mean-mug DeMar the whole game, even spouting insults in his direction when he walked by. He said it was “unfortunate we’re playing this goof tonight” on his team’s broadcast, even remarking on what he’d do if the team honors DeRozan. “If you ever put up a DeRozan banner, I’ll go up there and pull it down myself.”

Well, DeMar DeRozan issued a pretty unbothered response to the whole thing. “He’s going to have a long way to climb to take it down, so tell him good luck,” he remarked about the Drake situation in a post-game press conference. In addition, the NBA player posted an Instagram Story of a clip of the classic film Friday in which Chris Tucker’s character Smokey tries to act tough against a bully named Deebo, much like Drizzy attempted. “I got mind control over Deebo,” Smokey boasted. “He be like, ‘Shut the f**k up.’ I be quiet. But when he leaves, I be talking again.” A lot of people thought that the Certified Lover Boy did the same thing.

For those unaware, DeMar DeRozan not only got a lyrical shoutout on Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” but he also appeared in the Drake diss’ music video. Previously, DeRozan had expressed that he still has love for the Canadian superstar, although that love clearly disappeared.

“Drake’s still my man, still my man, none of it changed,” DeMar DeRozan explained. “It’s so easy to get overlooked and look at it for what it looks like. But at the end of the day it’s music, entertainment. Two of the biggest rappers in the world went at it from a competitive standpoint and they battled it out. That’s what you want to see as a fan: Kobe (Bryant) playing (Michael) Jordan 1-on-1 and see who wins, see the trash talking, and whoever wins out of that, you’re still going to have the debate, so that’s all that is.”
