DeMar DeRozan remains to be one of the top players in the NBA today. The Chicago Bulls star has been around the block for quite a bit too, which means that he's also earned a whole lot of money through his years in the league. Before he became a self-made millionaire in the NBA, though, DeRozan had his ways to get by. Apparently, this included scamming people at a party hosted by hip-hop icon Master P.

In a recent episode of Los Angeles Clippers star Paul George's podcast, Podcast P with Paul George presented by Wave Sports + Entertainment, DeRozan recalled that one time he decided to charge Master P's party guests $5 each to be able to join in on the festivities. The catch, however, was that it was supposed to be a free party:

“Yes, I was there,” DeRozan recalled. “You know what I was there doing? I was charging people at the door $5 to get in. It was a free party. 
 I did it for like 30 minutes. I remember I collected like $450, right? I pocket that s**t. Nobody knew.”

It sounds like DeRozan was in his senior year in high school when this went down. Obviously, he wasn't as loaded back then as he is today, so a young DeMar thought it was a good idea to make a bit of money on the side while enjoying a wild party at a rapper's own house.

DeRozan never got Master P's blessing, though, and as soon as the hip-hop star found out the next day, he was absolutely enraged:

“The house was f**ked up afterwards,” DeMar continued. “
 [Master P] found out, and that man went nuts the next day. P was so mad.”

That's hilarious. Then again, DeMar DeRozan was probably scared as hell when Master P found out about his shenanigans. It's all water under the bridge now, though. I think.
