Drake, a well-known musician, and LeBron James appear to be at odds as the 2024 NBA season approaches. Despite the fact that Drake has been friends with James for a long time and has appeared on The Shop and attended some of his games, recent occurrences seem to indicate that their friendship is failing.
James continues to follow Drake on Instagram, according to screenshots that a fan posted on X on Tuesday. Drake, though, is no longer LeBron’s fan.The news was swiftly received by the NBA community, and opinions on why Drake unfollowed LeBron were divided among supporters. LeBron James was spotted enjoying Kendrick Lamar’s diss tracks on Drake, as some have pointed out, and he also went to Lamar’s concert in Los Angeles during the summer.
Many others questioned whether LeBron’s relationship with Diddy had any bearing on Drake’s decision to unfollow him.
“Drake don’t need lebron he got KD and Curry” – One wrote”ngl drake moving like a teenager is so ironic” Someone else made the quip, “Drake bigger than LeBron” One saidOthers made assumptions on the start of the dispute and Drake’s choice to stop following LeBron:
“Probably some silly party stuff,” one person wrote.
“Lebron attended the Kendrick performance,” one person wrote.Following Drake’s omission of LeBron James at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, fans conjectured about beef.In the NBA community, a boundary was established when the Kendrick Lamar-Drake rivalry started during the playoffs. NBA fans continued to comment on the conflict and take sides with each diss track that was released over the next few weeks and months.
LeBron initially took a moderate stance, drawing parallels between the beef and a heavyweight boxing battle. James had a foot in both camps, which was not surprising given that he plays in Los Angeles, the same city as Kendrick Lamar, and that he has a close acquaintance with Drake.
But LBJ was rapping along to a Kendrick Lamar trash song about Drake. Many fans saw that as James taking a side, especially when combined with his choice to go to a pop-up event in Los Angeles that was hosted by Lamar.
Then, Drake used social media to wish a number of NBA players well during the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. He attached pictures of Team USA players Devin Booker, Jayson Tatum, Kevin Durant, and Steph Curry in addition to Team Canada’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.The only clue, at the moment, that Drizzy might not be content with LeBron James was the blatant omission of LeBron. Drake appears to be indicating that he and the NBA player are at odds after he unfollowed the four-time champion on Instagram.
