Joel Embiid trash-talking Drake, let’s have a look at what he said as the video went viral on social media platforms
Joel Embiid is a hot topic in NBA this season. He has already won one title, the scoring title leaving behind LeBron James (who played fewer games due to injuries to be qualified for the title) and Giannis Antetokounmpo. A heavy MVP candidate of the season is now showing his fire performance in the Playoffs scoring a PPG of 30.6.
Now even celebrities can’t be spared supporting their favourite teams opposite the Philadelphia 76ers star. One of the celebrities and a huge Raptors supporter Drake also got overshadowed in front of Embidd’s performance.

Drake was there at the playoffs Game 3 fixture between Toronto Raptors and Philadelphia 76ers front row seat cheering his team while they lost a close game 104-101 to get dominated by 4th in the Eastern Conference 76ers with 3-0 in the best-of-seven series.
According to Tobias Harris, as he revealed in his postgame press after the Sixers’ 114-111 overtime win, the Raptors superfan Drake told Embiid,” he can’t play here” but obviously Harris knows who Embiid is as he replied with, “he can play here for sure” reported team reporter Lauren Rosen and that’s what happened.
The 76ers superstar proved the rapper wrong as his side is yet to lose a game against the Raptors in the playoffs this season so far. Embiid fired a game-winner in front of Drake and against his favourite team and responded to him in words after the victory while both the stars got a chance to win.
The Cameroonian trashed talkback on Drake’s face listening to which the rapper might have regrets underestimating the 28-year-old. “Get your a*s out, I’m coming for that sweep too,” said Embiid on Drake’s face while they met post-game.
