Could a rap battle take place on a tennis court?

Drake, the best-selling rapper, is set to host this week's ESPY Awards in Los Angeles. During a pre-event conference call, Drake took the time to call out Nick Kyrgios on comments the young Australian made about his music during Wimbledon.

Seems Kyrgios wasn't too happy listening to Drake before his third round match against Jiri Vesely. Kyrgios went on to win the match, but then cited Drake's music as not putting him in the right frame of mind.

"I came out really flat, so hopefully I won't listen to that again," Kyrgios said. "It was actually Drake. Yeah. Didn't do the job for me."

Appears that Drake heard about Kyrgios' comments. When asked about possible sports stars he'd like to meet, Drake referenced the 19-year-old Kyrgios.

"I also want to meet this guy that says that he lost because he listened to my music," Drake said. "I want to meet that guy and just look him in the eye and see exactly who he is as a man and size him up and then chop him right down. Yeah, Nick whatever his name is, because he didn’t win, so that’s how he’s going to be remembered. Nick whatever his name is."

Kyrgios didn't lose and instead went on to upset world No. 1 Rafael Nadal in the fourth round. The Australian finally lost in the quarterfinals versus Milos Raonic.

Drake is no stranger to conflict in the tennis world. The Canadian rap artist dated Serena Williams just after she split with Common in a love triangle that caused friction between both men.

The ESPY Awards take place on July 16.
