With the game in hand and the time winding down as the Cavs held a 16-point lead with about a minute left, the Rocket Arena DJ
played
Kendrick Lamar’s
“Not Like Us” to hype up the Cleveland crowd and troll Drizzy and the Raptors’ fans.
The Cavaliers’ social media team didn’t waste much time, poking at Drake when the time ran out on the Raptors’ season.
“DEFROSTED,” the Cavs
posted to X
with a poster featuring Drizzy’s
Iceman
ice sculpture
from downtown Toronto, except there was a “W” inside instead of the album release date. “Internal Findings: Cavs W Detected in Core,” the graphic reads. “Final Conclusion: Cavs in 7.”
The Cavs also posted a
separate clip
taking over Toronto’s famed CN Tower. “Turned the 6 upside down,” the team captioned the post.
Drake, who serves as a team ambassador for the Raptors, wasn’t present in his usual courtside seats — which
were frozen
— at Scotiabank Arena when the Raptors were playing at home in Toronto during the series.
The 6 God has been busy preparing for the release of his
Iceman
album
, which is slated to arrive on May 15. Drake was also
spotted by fans
filming what appears to be a
music video
over the weekend.
Iceman
will serve as Drizzy’s first solo album since 2023’s
For All the Dogs
, which topped the
Billboard 200.
