It appears that even the owner of the Sacramento Kings has joined the feud involving DeMar DeRozan, rapper Kendrick Lamar, and Toronto Raptors superfan Drake.
On Wednesday, Kings owner Vivek Ranadivé was seen sitting on courtside during his team’s home game at Golden 1 Center versus the Raptors while wearing a shirt with a print that read “They Not Like Us.”
Sacramento Kings owner trolls Drake during game vs. Toronto Raptors
Those familiar with the aforementioned feud can easily tell that Ranadivé’s shirt was a subtle shot at Drake. It can be recalled that last week, Drake voiced his disagreement with the idea of Toronto retiring DeRozan’s jersey. Drake’s stance stems from DeRozan apparently siding with Lamar when the former Raptors star appeared in K-Dot’s video “Not Like Us,'” hence Ranadivé’s shirt.
Ranadivé got people on the internet as well because of his shirt.
“I bet anything his kids made him wear that. Not a good look for an owner.”

Ranadivé did not just get to troll Drake; he also saw his team avenge its 131-128 overtime loss to Drake’s team last week with the King returning the favor on Wednesday. Domantas Sabonis dropped a triple-double of 17 points, 13 assists, and 11 rebounds while DeRozan dropped a game-high 27 points on 11-for-21 shooting from the field to help the Kings eke out a 122-107 win over Toronto.
The Kings moved up to 5-3 after the win while the Raptors dropped to 2-7.
