A host of NBA All-Stars are enjoying their offseason by spending time at Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Pop Out and Show’ concert in Los Angeles, but Russell Westbrook and DeMar DeRozan took it a step further.
The two joined Lamar on stage to perform “Not Like Us,” which is a scathing commentary on fellow rapper Drake. Westbrook and DeRozan both grew up in the Los Angeles area, with the Los Angeles Clippers guard hailing from Long Beach, while the Chicago Bulls forward and Lamar are from Compton. It’s a big surprise to see DeRozan on stage criticizing Drake, considering his past ties to the Toronto Raptors. Among others present at the event were LeBron James, James Harden, Coby White and Kendrick Perkins.

DeRozan has not denied the possibility of playing again for one of his two hometown teams, be it the Lakers or the Clippers. With the Bulls expected to start over next season, it’s not out of the question to see him in a Los Angeles uniform at the end of next season.
Meanwhile, Westbrook could test the waters of free agency this offseason with a player option with the Clippers for next year.
