The NBA Star Remains Unfazed by the Rapper's Comments
Chicago Bulls star DeMar DeRozan has brushed off criticism from renowned rapper Drake after the latter's controversial "Not Like Us" music video sparked backlash.
In the video, Drake is seen rapping about a group of people who are "not like us" while wearing a Bulls jersey with DeRozan's number. The lyrics and imagery implied that DeRozan and other Bulls players were not part of Drake's elite circle.
However, DeRozan has maintained his composure in the face of Drake's critique. When asked about the video, he simply replied, "It's not a big deal. He's entitled to his opinion."
DeRozan's response has been praised by fans and media commentators alike. They have commended him for not engaging in a public feud with Drake and for focusing on his basketball career.
Despite the controversy, DeRozan has continued to play at a high level for the Bulls. He is averaging 26.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game this season.
The Bulls are currently in 11th place in the Eastern Conference, with a record of 24-19. They are still in contention for a playoff spot, and DeRozan's leadership will be crucial for their success.
