DeRozan hasn't turned out for Toronto in seven seasons, but his tie with the city remains as strong as ever. His relationship with Drake relationship looks to have faltered substantially, by comparison.
When the Bulls acquired Vucevic from the Magic and teamed him with Zach LaVine, and eventually with DeMar DeRozan, he never thought he'd be the last one standing.
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.
However, upon unfurling the jersey and seeing the name on the back, the performer threw it back into the crowd in apparent disgust. It looks like Drake still hasn’t forgiven DeMar DeRozan for supposedly siding with Kendrick during the two rappers’ beef.
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.

Drake is making headlines for his public dig at DeMar DeRozan. The Canadian rapper took to the stage at his Sydney show and help up the latter's old jersey for a few seconds before flinging it off the stage.
