Drake, the beloved Toronto Raptors ambassador, is facing a one-year ban from commentating at their games.
- In a surprising move, Drake shared on Instagram that he’s been silenced for a year at Raptors games.
- The ban seems connected to comments he made about former Raptors player DeMar DeRozan.
- Drake’s playful demeanor didn’t hide his disappointment over the ban.
- Fans speculate the ban started after Drake’s live TV remarks about DeRozan.
Drake, the Toronto Raptors’ ambassador, has been hit with a one-year mic ban at their games, leaving fans both shocked and sympathetic. He announced the news on Instagram during the Raptors vs. Warriors game, questioning how long his headphone ban would last.
Despite the ban, Drake expressed his continued passion for commentating, stating, “I was born to commentate… good ol’ 1 year ban? It is what it is, it was good while it lasted, I’ll be back one day…” His mix of humor and frustration was evident in his words, demonstrating his love for the game.
Speculation suggests the ban is linked to Drake’s comments about DeMar DeRozan in November. During a live TV commentary, Drake didn’t hold back, calling DeRozan a “goof” and vowing to remove any DeRozan banner himself. These strong words likely struck a chord with the Raptors organization.
The tension originated when DeRozan participated in a music video for Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss “Not Like Us.” DeRozan, in an interview, explained his deep connection to Compton and his loyalty to Kendrick, though he admitted having love for Drake as well.
The ban has fans buzzing, with many wondering if or when the Raptors will welcome Drake back to the mic. His playful yet sincere acknowledgment of the situation leaves room for a hopeful return.
Only time will tell if Drake’s mic ban truly lasts a year, but his enthusiasm for commentating remains unwavering.
