"D*ckriding gang since 'Headlines'": Drake allegedly disses DeMar DeRozan in new song "What Did I Miss?"

Canadian rapper Drake and former Toronto Raptors star DeMar DeRozan had a falling out after DeRozan surprised fans by showing up at Kendrick Lamar’s “The Pop Out” concert. DeRozan danced along to “Not Like Us,” a diss track aimed at Drake, who has long been a vocal supporter of both the Raptors and Canadian talent.

Though the rap feud between Drake and Lamar had largely fizzled out, Drake seemed to reignite tensions in his latest track, “What Did I Miss?”, taking a jab that appeared to be aimed at DeRozan for switching sides.

“I saw bro at ‘The Pop Out’ with them but been d**kriding gang since ‘Headlines,’” Drake rapped in the song.

“Headlines” is a 2011 single from Drake’s second album “Take Care,” the same year DeRozan, then with the Raptors, started gaining prominence.

DeRozan, who hails from Compton, also made an appearance in the “Not Like Us” music video, standing alongside other notable figures from his hometown.

In the track, Lamar mentions DeRozan, saying:

“I'm glad DeRoz' came home, y'all didn't deserve him neither.”

DeRozan’s stint in Toronto ended after nine seasons, as he was traded to the Spurs in the deal that brought Kawhi Leonard to the Raptors. Since then, he’s suited up for the Chicago Bulls and now plays for the Sacramento Kings.

DeMar DeRozan opens up about Drake

In an interview with Kings reporter Sean Cunningham before last season, DeMar DeRozan addressed the chatter about his connection to Kendrick Lamar, saying Sacramento’s Golden 1 Center is still free to play Drake’s music.

DeRozan emphasized that he has strong ties to both artists, calling Kendrick “family” due to their shared Compton roots.

"Love Drake. You always can play him,” DeRozan said. “Kendrick has been a friend of mine. It's family. Damn near family. For a long time. for a while. You know. We from the same city [Compton]. Grew up down there in the same neighborhood.”

“It's always been there. It hasn't always been publicized, but that's basically family."

Back in February during Vince Carter’s jersey retirement night, Drake made headlines by shooting down the idea of DeRozan ever getting his own banner in Toronto.

“If you ever put up a DeRozan banner, I’ll go up there and pull it down myself," Drake said.

Next season will mark DeRozan’s 17th year in the NBA and his second with the Kings.
