At halftime of last night's thrilling Game 1 between the Cavs and Raptors, Drake and Kendrick Perkins exchanged some words as both teams headed to the locker room. That's nothing new, we've seen Drake talk shit to the likes of John Wall and Kelly Oubre Jr. during the Raptors' first round series against the Washington Wizards.
But the back-and-forth didn't end there.
Perkins and Drake continued barking at each other following Cleveland's 113-112 victory, which resulted in several bodyguards intervening.
After the game, Perkins discussed what went down during his heated exchange with the Raptors' global ambassador, telling ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski that Drake "said something slick" so he told him to sit his ass down and watch the game.
"I was fucking with Serge, my old teammate," Perkins said after the game. "I wasn't talking to [Drake]."
"[I was] telling him, 'We about to win this game,' and Drake butted in talking shit to me," Perkins told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. "So I said something back to him."
"He said something slick, so I said something back: 'Sit your ass down and watch the game.'"
According to ESPN, when Perkins exited the Cavs' locker room for good Tuesday night, a member of the Cavs' security staff asked him if he wanted to be escorted to the team bus in case he encountered Drake along the way. "I'm fine," Perkins said with a smirk, per ESPN. "What's he going to do?"
After learning of those post-game comments, Drake dropped the following caption on an IG post, "I just said I like the hem on his capris."
The Cavs and Raptors will be back at the Air Canada Centre tomorrow, with tipoff scheduled for 6:00pm ET.
