Drake wasn’t having it, and he proceeded to blast DeRozan and the idea of the Raptors retiring DD’s No. 10 during an appearance on the Raptors broadcast in a game against the Sacramento Kings in November, threatening to “pull it down myself” if his number ever went up on a banner.

It's safe to say Drake and DeMar DeRozan, once friends when the Sacramento Kings forward played for Drake's hometown Toronto Raptors, are now, well, the opposite of friends. The Canadian rapper put that on clear and obvious display again Sunday, spiking a DeRozan Raptors jersey that was tossed to him while he was performing in Sydney, Australia.

It has been a rough stretch for hip-hop artist Drake recently. After being publicly embarrassed at the hands of Kendrick Lamar during the Super Bowl 59 halftime show, his issues have now reached another professional sports league.

DeMar DeRozan has played for the Sacramento Kings for just one season, but the franchise has his back after a viral spike from Drake. During the Canadian rapper's show in Sydney this week, a fan threw DeRozan's Toronto Raptors jersey on stage.

Mavericks All-Star guard Kyrie Irving dropped 30 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, and 3 steals, but Kings veteran forward DeMar DeRozan stole the show. DeRozan dropped 42 points and 7 rebounds on efficient 15-22 shooting from the field and 4-6 from deep.

Yeah, Drake still got smoke for DeMar DeRozan. While on tour in Australia, a fan tossed Drake a DeRozan jersey. After catching it, Drake took a look at it before slamming it on the floor of the arena.

The Sacramento Kings' social media team hilariously nailed a parody of Drake’s querimonious episode and showed support for DeMar DeRozan on behalf of the 916.
