Toronto superfan Drake and former Raptors star DeMar DeRozan recently got into some beef, and now the Sacramento Kings owner is sticking up for his new player.

That is, during Wednesday night's 122-107 win over the Raptors, Kings owner Vivek Ranadive was seen wearing a "They Not Like Us" shirt.

For those who don't know, this is in reference to the diss track Kendrick Lamar made against Drake.
And this is what resulted in the recent feud starting, as DeRozan appeared in the Kendrick Lamar "Not Like Us" music video.
Drake must have been hurt by this, as he recently was asked if the Raptors organization should retire DeRozan's jersey.
And the famous music artist gave a surprising answer.
"If you ever put up a DeRozan banner, I'll go up there and pull it down myself," Drake said.

Then in last week's matchup, Raptors' 131-128 win vs. the Kings (11/02), Drake appeared to call DeRozan a "p****."
In view of DeRozan's six seasons in Toronto, he averaged 19.7 points (44.8% FG), 4.1 rebounds, and 3.1 assists.
Once he was famously traded to the Spurs in exchange for Kawhi Leonard, Drake must have had a fallen out with DeRozan.
At first after his departure, Drake showed support to his one-time friend.

Maybe everything began after DeRozan was tied to Kendrick's latest diss track.
Although the 35-year-old player defended himself by saying him being in the rival rapper's music video was only for visuals, Drake apparently took it personally.
All in all, the 16-year vet probably appreciates the support from his new owner.
