Young Money’s Drake has just been singled out by a Toronto government official over his controversial playoffs handshake to Washington Wizards player Paul Pierce this week.

Toronto councilor Norm Kelly went at Drizzy, who is the Toronto Raptors global ambassador, on Twitter Thursday (April 23).

Kelly has acknowledged the attention his remark has made by re-tweeting various Twitter posts.

The Raptors currently trail the Wizards as they head into Game 3 tonight (April 24).

In last year’s playoff series against Brooklyn, Pierce blocked Kyle Lowry’s final shot of Game 7 to lift the Nets into the second round. The Raptors are trailing by two games in the best-of-seven series. Game 3 goes Friday night at 8 p.m. in Washington. (680 News)

  1. It’s not Drake’s fault that the Raptors are choking right before our eyes.

  2. So wait, at the end of the games, it’s cool for Toronto PLAYERS can shake the hands of the opposing team, but Drake can’t? And don’t get me wrong, I dislike everything about Drake, but come on man.
