Drake trolls Kings' Matt Barnes with Derek Fisher jersey at California show

Never one to shy down from throwing a little shade, Drake appears to have moved on from his Meek Mill beef with a new target to troll.

The Toronto rapper's basketball jersey selection was all the rage following Drake's recent show in Inglewood, California. Rocking a Lakers jersey on stage, Drake appeared to stand up for his new flame Rihanna by taking a subtle jab at Sacramento Kings forward Matt Barnes.

As the story goes, Barnes alleges to have had a history with Rihanna prior to her relationship with Drake. RiRi has vehemently denied a fling with Barnes, and it looks like Drake is having a tough time letting this one go.

Drake shared two images on Instagram after the California show and while the Lakers jersey was a hit, it's the name on the back that seems to be stirring the pot.


Yup, that's a Derek Fisher jersey. And in case you don't remember, Fisher and Barnes had their own beef a while back after the former was accused of allegedly hooking up with the latter's estranged wife. As the story goes, Barnes responded by driving 95 miles to "beat the s--t" out of Fisher. The beef eventually simmered down, but Drake's jersey selection has brought it all back to the forefront.

The caption on Drake's second image seems to confirm the Barnes troll job: "SOMETIMES IT CAN GET GRIZZLY...🐻" (the "grizzly" mention appears to be a direct reference to Barnes, who played for the Memphis Grizzlies last season). So, in siding with Team Fisher, Drake appears to be showing absolutely no chill for Rihanna's former "flame."

And for what it's worth, Fisher seemed to enjoy the shoutout.
