DJ Mustard didn't mean any disrespect.

DJ Mustard says that he didn't intend to troll Drake when he wore a Toronto Blue Jays hat during the music video shoot for Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us." Speaking with Big Boy after the star-studded event, he clarified that it was just coincidently the only hat he had left with him at the time.

"I wasn't trying to troll," Mustard explained while laughing. "Everybody thought I was trolling. I bought a lot of hats that I like. I bought an STL hat. What's this an Angels hat? Or a Braves hat?" From there, he added that he sweated out two of his hats during The Pop Out - Ken & Friends, and the Blue Jays hat was coincidently the last one he had with him. "I never thought that much into it," he concluded.

Elsewhere in the clip, Mustard explained that he and Lamar were discussing how the video was similar to Dr. Dre and 2Pac's "California Love" video, at which point Lamar revealed to him that he was at that video shoot with his father. The music video shoot came after Mustard and Lamar linked up at The Pop Out - Ken & Friends, earlier in the week. There, Lamar performed the hit song several times over to conclude a night that highlighted numerous West Coast artists. "Y'all ain't gonna let anyone disrespect the West Coast, huh? Oh, y'all ain't gonna let nobody mock and imitate our legends, huh?" he asked the crowd at one point.
