\n\t\u201cWe love Drake, we always can play him,\u201d the former Toronto Raptor said. \u201cKendrick been a friend of mine, family. D\u2013n near family, for a long time, for a while. We\u2019re from the same city, we grew up d\u2013n near in the same neighborhood. \u2026 It\u2019s always been there. It hasn\u2019t always been publicized, but, you know, that\u2019s basically family.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tKendrick name-dropped DeRozan in the second verse of his massive Drake diss song \u201cNot Like Us,\u201d rapping, \u201cI\u2019m glad DeRoz\u2019 came home, y\u2019all didn\u2019t deserve him neither,\u201d referencing the six-time All-Star getting traded from the Toronto Raptors to the San Antonio Spurs for Kawhi Leonard back in 2018.<\/p>\n

\n\tNot only did DeMar make a cameo in the song\u2019s video when he was mentioned, he was also in attendance at Kendrick\u2019s Pop Out concert<\/a> on June 19, and was one of the first people to hit the stage to dance to the song while K. Dot was performing it.<\/p>\n

\n\tDeMar played his first nine seasons in the NBA with the league\u2019s only Canadian team, and appeared on the June 2016 cover of Slam<\/em> magazine<\/a> alongside Drake and then teammate Kyle Lowry when he was a member of the Toronto Raptors.<\/p>\n
