Drake red-faced after basketball snub

Rapper Drake was left red-faced when he was turned away from the players' dressing room after a major basketball final in Miami, Florida on Thursday night (20Jun13).

The hip-hop star was among the famous faces in the crowd cheering as Miami Heat won the National Basketball Association (NBA) title over San Antonio Spurs in a thrilling game at the AmericanAirlines Arena.

After the match, Drake headed behind the scenes to offer the winning team his congratulations, but he was turned away from the players' dressing room by security staff.

During the incident, which was caught on TV cameras, the hip-hop star was seen being told to leave by guards who insisted the area is for "media only", while Drake retorted "I am media" before one of his associates told him to move on.
