While it still remains to be seen which team Chicago Bulls forward and free agent DeMar DeRozan ultimately lands, one thing is for sure: In the Kendrick Lamar-Drake beef, he’s firmly Team Kendrick.
DeRozan, who’s mentioned in Lamar’s hit/Drake diss “Not Like Us,” makes a cameo appearance on the track’s video, which dropped on Thursday. DeRozan, known as “King of the Fourth” for his late-game heroics, shows up around the 2:43 mark when the rapper says “I’m glad DeRoz’ came home, y’all didn’t deserve him neither.” The guard-forward was drafted in 2009 by the Raptors in Toronto, which is where Drake hails from.
A fellow Compton native, DeRozan also joined Lamar on stage last month for another holiday: the Pop Out: Ken and Friends concert on Juneteenth.
With the Bulls bowing out of the season early with a play-in tournament loss to the Miami Heat and the team’s offseason moves pushing a youth movement, it appears DeRozan’s exit is imminent. A source told the Sun-Times late Sunday night that the Alex Caruso-for-Josh Giddey trade was the final straw for the unrestricted free agent.
