After the Raptors were eliminated from the Eastern Conference Finals by the Cavaliers, the Internet turned on Drake in a brutal manner
The Toronto Raptors made things interesting in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers with two wins in the Air Canada Centre, rapper Drake in the front row to support his hometown team for all of those. He was back in that spot for Game 6, too, but with the Raptors needing to win to stay alive.
Toronto didn’t get that win, though, and Drake’s vocal behavior as a fan leading up to the Game 6, during the game, and so on didn’t do him any favors. Not only had LeBron James talked trash to Drake earlier in the game, but he also opened himself up to public criticism as well.
And oh did the public criticize the rapper. As the loss became clear for the Raptors, Twitter mercilessly went at Drake in virtually every manner imaginable to troll the Canadian emcee.
Here’s what everyone had to say about Drake after the Game 6 loss and yes, the shade was indeed thrown at Drizzy:
Drake went home already. He's probably going to lock himself in his room and play Marvin's Room all night.

I mean, did anyone not see this coming of the Raptors lost. And for what it’s worth, Drake most definitely was waiting for LeBron James in the locker room to dap him up after the game.
This man may be a music icon to some, but Drake doesn’t do himself a single favor as a sports fan and Game 6 was another instance of that.
