Drake has been found on the sidelines during almost all big Toronto Raptors games in recent times. With LeBron James playing, it was no surprise that he was courtside for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Cavs and the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday.
As players from both teams were heading to the locker room for halftime, Cavs guard Jose Calderon went over to speak with Drake. At that point, something ensued which led to a heated exchange between Drake and Cleveland Cavaliers reserve Kendrick Perkins. The reason behind the friction is unknown at this point. Watch the footage below.
"I don't think Drake want that one."

That was not all. It happened again during the game. Drake can be heard saying “I never said that” to a few people who surrounded the area in the video clip below.

We’re not sure what happened but Drizzy definitely doesn’t want it with Kendrick. Drake was seen wearing his “Scorpion” jacket to promote his forthcoming album of the same name which drops in June. The exact release date is yet to be announced.
UPDATE: We have a little bit of background on it:
In a text message to ESPN, Kendrick Perkins says: “What happened was I was talking to my old teammate Serge (Ibaka) walking into halftime telling him ‘We about to win this game,’ and Drake butted in talking shit to me. So I said something back to him.” https://t.co/sJ3Ntx6zVy
