Vivek Ranadivé, the owner of the Sacramento Kings, made it abundantly clear where he stands regarding Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s continued hip-hop conflict.
The 67-year-old businessman donned a” Not Like Us” clothing during the Kings ‘ 122-107 home win over the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday nights. The Billboard-topping insult track, Not Like Us, is directed at American rapper Drake, who has been the Raptors ‘ global embassy since 2013. With Ranadivé taking a open stance and in the process siding with Kings sun and Compton local DeMar DeRozan, who scored 27 details on Wednesday evening, the feud between Lamar and Drake took a new direction.
DeRozan and Drake were once close pals when he was selected by Toronto in 2009 and spent nine seasons with the Owls. The relationship ended however when the six-time All-Star and Raptors top scorers Lamar and other Californian Lamar collaborated on a song called” Not Like Us.” DeRozan was one of several West Coast officials who performed the song this summer at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, alongside Lamar on level.
On the TSN television broadcast, Drake stated that he would pull down a DeRozan banner if the company actually decided to retire his jersey. He was staring at DeRozan from his courtside seats during the Raptors ‘ 131-128 household win over the Kings next Saturday.
” He’s going to have a long way to climb to take it down”, DeRozan said, unmoved.
Drake’s banner feedback drew criticism from various artists and players, including former Raptors standout Lou Williams, who called Drake” greedy” given DeRozan’s contributions to the business. Williams publicly supporting DeRozan was noteworthy, especially since Williams and Drake were once close and Williams was named-dropped in the well-known Drake track 6 Man.
On the Run It Back podcast, Williams said,” It goes way beyond his personal relationship with Drake, it goes way beyond his personal relationship with Kendrick Lamar. ” So, for Drake to say,’ If you put up a banner and I’ll personally pull it down,’ it’s like, is it just about you or is it about the Toronto Raptors”?
This is n’t Ranadivé’s first involvement with Drake. The star gave his private jet to Ranadivé back in 2019 in order for players and coaches to arrive in India for preseason games in a timely and comfortable manner. The” Air Drake” travel accommodations, though, were n’t enough for the owner to avoid getting in the middle of one of hip-hop’s biggest feuds in recent memory.
