Sorry, Bucks fans - Canada's favorite rapper apparently won't be attending Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals in Milwaukee Thursday night.

Speculation ran rampant Thursday that the performer may travel to the Brew City for the pivotal contest after his on-the-court antics in Game 4, but a tweet from the Toronto Raptors just after 6:00 p.m. burst our collective bubble.

Instead of frolicking around Fiserv's court, Drake will instead be hosting some sort of watch party/musical extravaganza at Toronto's "Jurassic Park," the area outside the Raptors' arena.

Both Bucks Coach Mike Budenholzer and a senior executive in the agency that reps Giannis Antetokounmpo condemned Drake's actions Wednesday, upset by his constant trolling and random shoulder massage of Raptors Coach Nick Nurse.

"There’s certainly no place for fans — or whatever Drake is for the Raptors — on the court. There’s boundaries and lines for a reason," Coach Bud said, according to ESPN's Malika Andrews.

Short of being able to mock Drake in person, Bucks fans will have to settle for the best kind of revenge - a Game 5 win.
