DeMar Derozan addressed his cameo appearance in the music video for Kendrick Lamar‘s Drake diss track, “Not Like Us.”

Speaking to Fox40‘s Sean Cunningham, the Sacramento Kings SG — who previously played for the Toronto Raptors for nine years — shared that he sees Dot as essentially “family” as they have a long history together. “Kendrick been a friend of mine, family — damn near family, for a long time, for a while. We’re from the same city, we grew up damn near in the same neighborhood,” Derozan said. “So it’s always been there. It hasn’t always been publicized, but, you know, that’s basically family.”

When Cunningham asked, however, if the Kings’ Golden 1 Center home arena will no longer play Drizzy’s catalog, Derozan answered, “We love Drake. We love Drake. We can always play him.”
