Rapper and Toronto Raptors ambassador Drake has a history of getting into it with NBA players, but he has some history with Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid.
Back in May, when the Raptors faced the Sixers in the playoffs, Drake had some words for Embiid as the star walked off the floor in a Game 5 loss to the Raps. Drake had also mocked the Embiid airplane celebration in that game.
Fast-forward to Monday night. The Raptors defeated the Sixers 101-96, and Embiid shockingly went scoreless on 0-of-11 shooting in 32 minutes while also amassing five fouls and committing four turnovers. Not good.
And here’s what Drake had to say about it toward Embiid. It would appear to be “MVP!”:

You also have to wonder if Drake flashing his Raptors championship ring on Instagram was a bit of a taunt meant for the Sixers:
Either way, Drake has the upper hand here. Hopefully, we’ll see more of this in the postseason.
