Popular Canadian rapper Drake has escalated his alleged beef with LeBron James recently. During his performance at the Wireless Festival, Drake flaunted his biceps, which had Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s jersey inked on it. Previously, the God’s Plan singer had LeBron James’ Fighting Irish jersey inked on his left biceps.
Back in 2018, Drake added a tattoo to his left bicep while paying tribute to his great bond with LeBron James. Reportedly, things escalated between LeBron James and Drake back in 2024. The Family Matters’ singers’ full-blown dispute with Kendrick Lamar generated waves on internet and entertainment industry. Drake was disheartened by the fact that LeBron James did not utter a single word in his support and witnessed everything like a mute spectator. Instead, the Lakers’ star had posted on X-“Nothing like 2 heavyweights doing What They Do Best! For the love off of the sport.”
Later, LeBron James was also spotted at Kendrick Lamar’s Pop Out festival. Gradually, the bond between Lakers star and Drake fell apart. The popular music star has been a great fan of Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant and even has a tattoo with respect to both NBA players. However, his relationship with LeBron James was built on trust and mutual liking for each other. As both of them rose to fame during the same time in their respective careers, this also went on to become one of the reasons behind their great camaraderie.
