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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
