Speaker 1: Now I want to talk about Drake, who, for the
Speaker 1: second time this week, is making headlines. On Wednesday, we
Speaker 1: talked about the rap Superstars suing his own record label,
Speaker 1: Universal Music Group for promoting Kendrick Lamar is not like Us. Now,
Speaker 1: the Canadian born raping Rappers and Raptors global ambassador as
Speaker 1: in the Toronto Raptors, has been reportedly banned from commenting
Speaker 1: on their games. The one year ban reportedly stems from
Speaker 1: his controversial remarks about former Raptors star DeMar DeRozan. You
Speaker 1: may recall back in November when Drake appeared on a
Speaker 1: live broadcast and called DeRozan a goof take a listen,
Speaker 1: speaking of national treasure. Yes, if you ever put up
Speaker 1: a DeRozan banner about glo up there and pull it
Speaker 1: down myself, that's the answer.
Speaker 2: You what question is that what you're gonna ask?
Speaker 1: No, I didn't, well, you know, to yot Kyle, Yeah,
Speaker 1: well shout out status. The statues are next, Well, yeah
Speaker 1: they are.
Speaker 2: I'm looking at you. It's gonna be then like this.
Speaker 1: These remarks sparked backlash and the Raptors organization have now
Speaker 1: decided to respond. But before I respond, I be remiss
Speaker 1: neglecting to show you. DeMar Deroza's response immediately upon hearing
Speaker 1: what Drake had to say about him today's broadcast, Drake said,
Speaker 1: if you ever put up de rosen inventner up, I'll
Speaker 1: go up there and put it on myself. What's your
Speaker 1: actually better?
Speaker 2: Well, he gotta he gonna have a long way to
Speaker 2: climb to take it down, so I tell him good luck.
Speaker 2: Drake is looking weaker and weaker every day.
Speaker 1: I said the other day, I understand how it can
Speaker 1: be a bit sensitive when he's got to take his
Speaker 1: kids out of school, the mother of his kid, along
Speaker 1: with his child, has to move out of Toronto because
Speaker 1: of the treatment they were receiving. In light of Kendrick
Speaker 1: Lamar's not like a song blowing up the spot. I
Speaker 1: got it, But I also felt like, if somebody gets
Speaker 1: the better of you in the studio, you either stand
Speaker 1: down and say they got me, or you come back
Speaker 1: with something stronger. When you're as great as Drake is,
Speaker 1: why can't you do that? But this DeMar DeRozan thing
Speaker 1: took it a bit too far. Damar Russell Westbrook and
Speaker 1: those guys they're from that area. They're from the same
Speaker 1: spot as Kendrick Lamar when they're listening to the song
Speaker 1: they liked the song or whatever. You on stage and
Speaker 1: it's constant dancing the way that they were. Drake was
Speaker 1: salty about that was Hell's.
Speaker 2: Wrong with you?
Speaker 1: DeMar de Rozan starts with the Toronto Raptors for nine years.
Speaker 1: Jamar DeRozan has an average less than twenty points a
Speaker 1: game in the last twelve years of his NBA career.
Speaker 1: Damar de Rozan, his crime is one crime and one
Speaker 1: crime only.
Speaker 2: He could not beat Lebron James. That's about it. He
Speaker 2: was an elite NBA player for the Toronto Raptors and
Speaker 2: was always cool with Drake.
Speaker 1: And because Kendrick Lamar got you, you got to turn
Speaker 1: around and it's like, yo, you're gonna hate on DeMar DeRozan.
Speaker 2: Now, I personally think that this was said in November.
Speaker 1: I don't know why the hell of Raptors are coming
Speaker 1: out now talking about Drake his band from talking about
Speaker 1: of talking to you know, comment commentating for a year
Speaker 1: with free speech is free speech. You the hell of
Speaker 1: you to say you can't speak for a year, you understand.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that if you're Drake, really do you
Speaker 1: want this reputation, bro, you want the reputation as being
Speaker 1: somebody that's that, that is that weak.
Speaker 2: Cat. Get you listen.
Speaker 1: Ain't nobody look listen and if you look, look at
Speaker 1: the lyrics. He didn't specifically and directly call you a pedophile. Look,
Speaker 1: Kendrick Lamar, he did not do that. But ain't nobody
Speaker 1: thinking about whether or not you're a pedophile or not
Speaker 1: when they listen to the music, they just saying, damn,
Speaker 1: he ripped you the shreds. What you're gonna do about it?
Speaker 1: You gonna respond to You're gonna stand down, That's all.
Speaker 2: That's all.
Speaker 1: Ain't nobody looking at you differently? They looking at you
Speaker 1: as a bit soft because every time we turn around,
Speaker 1: there's a reaction from you that sparks a reaction from somebody.
Speaker 2: Else because you've taken what Kendrick Lamar did to you.
Speaker 1: To heart very very significantly. You Damn they're making people
Speaker 1: look at you and wonder what you are.
Speaker 2: Because of how.
Speaker 1: Not because of Kendrick.
Speaker 2: Lamar's music, but because.
Speaker 1: Of how you're reacting to it and other people vibing
Speaker 1: with the song tomorrow Derozen ain't looking at you like
Speaker 1: some pedophile or something like that. He liked the song
Speaker 1: like the beat saw Kendrick Lamar going at you. They
Speaker 1: from the same hood. He on stage dancing support him.
Speaker 1: So what.
Speaker 2: So why that's just me?
Speaker 1: I just think that in these kind of situations it's
Speaker 1: great and somebody like Drake is, you're minimizing your own cachet.
Speaker 2: You're compromising it.
Speaker 1: Rather because you're making people look at you in a
Speaker 1: different light because of how you're compelling people to react
Speaker 1: to you, because of how you've reacted to people, just because.
Speaker 2: Of a song. Universal Music Group represents both of y'all.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 1: Put there in the money making business, if you came
Speaker 1: out with a song and you've tried, but if you
Speaker 1: came out with a song that checked Kendrick Lamar to
Speaker 1: the degree that he checked you and they could make
Speaker 1: money off of that, Kendrick Lamar would not like it.
Speaker 1: But I think when we look at him and we
Speaker 1: see him, you know what we suspect he would not
Speaker 1: have went to the courts. He wouldn't have been about
Speaker 1: suing the music group or you for you getting at
Speaker 1: him in front of the mic. Behind the mic. He
Speaker 1: need to stand down and he come back at you anytime.
Speaker 1: We see a different story. Now it's a basketball player
Speaker 1: and the team, the Toronto Raptors, who demarga. Roza doesn't
Speaker 1: even play for any longer. He played in San Antonio,
Speaker 1: he played in Chicago. Now he's with the Sacramento Kings.
Speaker 1: Hasn't played for them in years. Even they said you
Speaker 1: would band from commenting or commentating for a year. Even
Speaker 1: they are salty, they want to separate themselves from you.
Speaker 2: Come on, Drake, it's just a song.
Speaker 1: Bro.
Speaker 2: You too great for this. You too great to be
Speaker 2: in the news for this kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: Man, too much you bring to the table, bro, Come on, man,
Speaker 1: come on.
