MADISON, Wisconsin – A Madison radio station has announced that it was siding this week between an artist and an NBA player.

The station 93.1 Jamz announced in a statement Monday that she would not be playing Drake songs this week after Drake seemed to upset Giannis Antetokounmpo in Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Randy Hawke, vice president of programming for Mid-West Family Broadcasting, owner of Jamz 93.1, said the station is with Antetokounmpo.

"Giannis took the lead in arguing with Drake by ignoring him in the third game of the playoffs, so 93.1 Jamz decided to ignore Drake for the rest of the series," Hawke said in his release. "We stand in solidarity with Giannis and the Bucks."

The NBA on TNT tweeted videos of what appeared to be Drake speaking to Antetokounmpo and other Bucks players in the third game in Toronto on Sunday night. The Raptors defeated Milwaukee 118-112 on Sunday night to reduce the Bucks' lead to 2-1 in the Eastern Conference finals.

Antetokounmpo seems to ignore Drake in the videos.

The channel announced that it would bring Drake back to the radio after the end of the NBA series.

The Bucks play the Raptors Tuesday at 7:30 pm in Toronto for Game 4.
