DeMar DeRozan has a cameo in Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” music video, which was released Thursday.
The forward appears while squatting on a storage container near the 2:43 mark while Lamar raps: “I’m glad DeRoz’ came home, y’all didn’t deserve him neither.”
The line, and the song overall, is a diss toward Toronto-born rapper Drake.
DeRozan was selected ninth overall in the 2009 NBA draft and spent the first nine seasons of his career with the Toronto Raptors.
Like Lamar, DeRozan is a native of Compton, California.

He was traded to the San Antonio Spurs in 2018 and then to the Chicago Bulls in 2021. He is currently a free agent.
DeRozan was also among the NBA stars present at Lamar’s “The Pop Out: Ken & Friends” concert in Inglewood, California, last month.
