Overview
- Cleveland knocked out Toronto 114-102 in Sunday’s Game 7, and the arena DJ blasted Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” as the final buzzer sounded.
- The song choice lined up with the track’s two-year anniversary, adding a pointed music-feud layer to the Raptors’ season-ending loss.
- Minutes after the win, the Cavs’ accounts posted an “DEFROSTED” graphic that mimicked Drake’s ice-core teaser by swapping the hidden date for a giant Cavs “W.”
- Another Cavs post showed a faux scan of Drake’s Toronto ice monolith with “Specimen status: removed” and the former site tagged as Dundas/Bond St., plus a separate CN Tower clip captioned “Turned the 6 upside down.”
- Drake, the Raptors’ global ambassador, has not engaged with the trolling and kept his rollout on track, including a weekend video shoot in Toronto and prior arena stunts like his frozen courtside seats.
