DeMar DeRozan is still cool with the Toronto rapper.
DeMar DeRozan spoke at length about his relationship with both Drake and Kendrick Lamar during an interview with The Sacramento Bee published on Wednesday. The Compton native, who spent years in Toronto playing for the Raptors, returned to his hometown for Lamar’s The Pop Out – Ken & Friends, last month. The appearance quickly sparked rumors that he and Drake had a falling out. He’s since clarified this isn’t the case. Instead, he says the concert was far more important than just the beef.
“It was fun to be a part of (‘Not Like Us’),” he said. “For that moment, it was so much bigger than what people look at it as a beef between (Lamar) and Drake. It brought our whole city together in a different type of light where there wasn’t no issues, no violence. Everybody was coming together in a peaceful manner and that was the beauty out of those moments.”
