The unlikely spat between Cleveland Cavaliers center Kendrick Perkins and Drake continued after the defending Eastern Conference champions defeated the Toronto Raptors, 113-112, in overtime on Tuesday night at Air Canada Centre.

After exchanging verbal barbs midway through the contest, Perkins and the Raptors superfan reportedly clashed a second time in the tunnel following Cleveland's Game 1 win.

According to the Toronto Star's Bruce Arthur, Drake called Perkins a "f--king p---y" and challenged him to meet him face-to-face.

"I'm here in real life," he added.

Shortly before that altercation, ESPN.com's Dave McMenamin relayed video of the two jawing (NSFW language):

"What happened was I was talking to my old teammate Serge (Ibaka) walking into halftime telling him 'We about to win this game,' and Drake butted in talking s--t to me," Perkins told ESPN.com's Adrian Wojnarowski in a text message. "So I said something back to him."

Drake later offered an explanation of his own in the comments section on Instagram: 

And that was just the series opener.

Game 2 will tip off Thursday at 6 p.m. ET from Air Canada Centre.
