Drake Throws DeMar DeRozan Jersey To The Ground During Concert
Drake is standing firm in his beef against DeMar DeRozan. During a recent show, the 38-year-old slammed a DeRozan jersey on the ground after it was seemingly tossed to him on stage. While jumping up and down performing 'Rich Flex,' the rapper unfolded the jersey, clarified it was that of DeRozan, balled it back up in disgust, and threw it off the stage. Akademiks shared a clip of the moment on social media. According to Complex, the video comes from Drake's first Sydney show as he kicked off his Anita Max Wynn Tour. Drake's feud with DeMar DeRozan stems from his ongoing beef with rapper Kendrick Lamar. Although the Canadian musician and the NBA star were once close friends, DeRozan's support of K. Dot drew a line in the sand. After appearing on stage with Kendrick Lamar at his 2024 Juneteenth concert dancing to the Grammy Award-winning diss 'Not Like Us,' the Sacramento Kings forward also appeared in the acclaimed music video. DeRozan is also referenced in the song with Kendrick Lamar rhyming, 'I'm glad DeRoz' came home, y'all didn't deserve him neither.' '[I] Love Drake, always can play him. [But] Kendrick been a friend of mine—Damn near family, we both from the same city. Grew up damn near in the same neighborhood, but it's always been there, it hasn't been always publicized, but that's basically family,' shared the athlete in response to the moment. The Compton NBA star continued to elaborate that standing by Kendrick was bigger than rap, referencing the unity in their shared hometown adding 'Everybody was coming together in a peaceful manner and that was the beauty out of those moments.' Still, Drake took his allegiance personally, staring DeRozan down during a Toronto Raptors and Sacramento Kings matchup in November 2024. 'If you ever put up a DeRozan banner, I'll go up there and pull it down myself,' the 'One Dance' singer declared. Outside of the beef, Carmelo Anthony added his opinion on the entire ordeal saying, 'You gotta pull up on DeMar if you feel that way before you go on camera. Drake did a lot when he said I'ma go up there and take it down. That part is a lot.'

Drake Switches Up ‘Nonstop' Lyrics to Take a Jab at LeBron James
The deterioration of Drake and LeBron James' friendship appears to be part of the fallout from the Drizzy and Kendrick Lamar feud. Drake hit the stage for night two in Perth of his Anita Max Wynn Tour on Wednesday (Feb. 5), and in fan-captured video, flipped around some lyrics to 'Nonstop' during the show to slight King James.

The original featured on 2018's Scorpion had Drake rhyme, 'How I go from 6 to 23 like I'm LeBron?' Even James' former teammate and current ESPN broadcaster Richard Jefferson had some fun with Drake's tweak on X, sharing a gif in response. Drizzy previously called out those who switched sides on him during the Kendrick Lamar battle at the top of 2025 on his 'Fighting Irish' freestyle, which was uploaded to Conductor Williams' YouTube page and quickly taken down. 'The world fell in love with the gimmicks, even my brothers got tickets, seemed like they loved every minute/ Just know the s–t is personal to us and wasn't just business/ Analyzing behavioral patterns is somewhat suspicious,' he raps on the track. James was among those in attendance at Kendrick Lamar's Pop Out concert on Juneteenth in L.A. last year, rapping along to Drake diss tracks such as 'Euphoria' and 'Not Like Us.' The Fighting Irish also happen to be the mascot for James' St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, which he attended in Ohio during the early 2000s. LeBron has yet to address any of the speculation surrounding his relationship with Drake and whether that's changed in the recent months since the Kendrick Lamar feud.
