The Canadian rapper has been cutting up courtside during the Toronto Raptors Easter Conference Finals against the Milwaukee Bucks. The SCORPION rapper has been doing the most, dapping up the Raptors mascot, stanning out for the players, and hugging the coach.
Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer blasted Drizzy for standing on the sidelines alongside Raptors coach Nick Nurse during Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
“I see it in some timeouts, but I don’t know of any person that’s attending the game that isn’t a participant in the game a coach — I’m sorry, a player or a coach that has access to the court,” he said. “There’s certainly no place for fans and, you know, whatever it is exactly that Drake is for the Toronto Raptors.”
He added, “You know, to be on the court, there’s boundaries and lines for a reason, and like I said, the league is usually pretty good at being on top of stuff like that.”
Bucks’ baller Giannis Antetokounmpo’s rep also addressed the situation, stating, “Imagine a gig & an athlete on VIP seats, right next to the band, stands up on the stage just to show off during the entire game, knowing cameras are on him, occasionally even massaging the singer. Security & him both allow it. Never seen anything as disrespectful as this before…”
Now, the Toronto Raptors global ambassador is responding and trolling. In so many words, he said they can stay mad because he hasn’t broken any rules:

Mallory Edens – daughter of Bucks owner Wes Edens – wore a Pusha-T shirt to Game 5 last night. Drizzy saw it and jumped into troll mode by following her on Instagram, changing his avatar to her pic and then posting her picture on his story with the caption, “All is fair in war and war and trust me I’ll still get you tickets to ovo fest.”
Drake continued his game mode by reposting this:

Aside from his courtside antics, the Raptors beat the Bucks in Game 5, 105-99. Raptors lead 3-2. Their next game goes down tomorrow at 8:30pm on TNT and if the Raptors win, the Eastern Conference Finals are over.
