Jermaine Dupri Couldn’t Believe Drake Missed Lil WeezyAna Fest For A Raptors Game
Jermaine Dupri couldn’t believe Drake skipped out on Lil WeezyAna Fest to be in attendance for the Toronto Raptors’ game against the Sacramento Kings on Saturday night. He expressed his shock at the move on X (formerly Twitter). “I cant believe drake missed that,” Dupri wrote. “Couldn’t have been me.”
Dupri isn’t the only one who criticized Drake for not making an appearance. Fans in his replies joined in as well. “Me neither … this was a big moment for young money cash money. Him at a basket ball game instead of with them kind of drove me the wrong way man. That wasn’t very hip hop,” one user responded. Another wrote: “Why it’s good he wasn’t there and let Turk bg juvenile and the rest hot boys shine. If he would have been there everyone would have flipped the narrative and said he ruined the moment and bunch of other made up bs narratives.” Others noted that Drake serves as a “Global Ambassador” for the Raptors and it was thus important for him to be present for Vince Carter’s jersey retirement ceremony.

While in attendance at the Raptors’ game, Drake made headlines for dissing DeMar DeRozan, the former Raptor who appeared in the music video for Kendrick Lamar‘s “Not Like Us.” Labeling him a “goof,” Drake joked on the broadcast: “If you ever put up a DeRozan banner, I’ll go up there and pull it down myself.”
