“It was good while it lasted,” he added. “I’ll be back one day.”
Drake did not share the reason for his headphone ban, but fans think it is linked to his recent courtside remarks about Raptor’s player, DeMar DeRozan.
“If you ever put up a DeRozan banner, I’ll go up there and pull it down myself,” Drake told Canadian sports network TSN in November. “Unfortunately, we’re playing this goof tonight, but it is what it is.”
He was also seen yelling “F-ck outta here, p-ssy” as DeRozan walked off the court.
