DeMar DeRozan’s 9-year-old daughter Diar became an Internet sensation overnight but the new attention brought on several haters.
Earlier this week, Diar went viral when she was seen distracting Raptors players at the free throw line by screaming at the top of her lungs.

Unfortunately some NBA fans took things too far and issues online threats to Diar.
According to a report from TNT’s Chris Haynes, Diar was escorted out of the arena by security after the NBA was notified of severe online threats made against her.
“DeMar DeRozan’s daughter, Diar, was escorted out of Scotiabank Arena on Wednesday by Bulls’ security and led to team bus with her father after NBA notified team of severe online threats directed at the nine-year-old, sources tell
@NBAonTNT”
Fans were clearly not happy that Diar was receiving threats following the game.
Awful fanbase man…
A 9 year old girl should never have to worry about getting severe hate online over being a super supportive fan of basketball and her Dads team
This is the problem with society tho, ppl talk crazy on the internet because they don’t get held accountable for it https://t.co/vC2SABAudi— Vincent ☀️ (@VincentKeyes1) April 15, 2023
