Drake‘s ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar has put a number of people’s loyalty to test, and the Canadian superstar has now seemingly shaded those who’ve left his side as the conflict persists.
On Wednesday (June 19), K.Dot hosted and performed to a sold-out crowd at his “Pop Up” Juneteenth show in Inglewood, California. During said event, the Compton native played a number of his diss tracks aimed at Drizzy, such as “euphoria” and “6:16 in LA.”
The set climaxed with him performing “Not Like Us” five times in a row as the crowd sang along to it word for word — among the thousands turning up in the crowd was basketball star LeBron James, who has been a close friend and supporter of the 6 God since the latter broke into the music industry.
Hence, people online are now suspecting that the “Hotline Bling” hitmaker was throwing shade at the 20-time All Star when he took to his Instagram Stories soon after the gig, posting a mirror selfie in which he could be seen wearing what appears to be a Cleveland Guardians jersey with the words “Summer League” stamped over the image.
This could potentially be a reference to LeBron’s turbulent relationship with the city of Cleveland, where he played for a total 11 seasons and even won a championship. His initial stint with the Cavaliers, however, was not successive as he left after his first seven season to join the Miami Heat back in 2010, which is still considered one of the most controversial moves in sports history as it cast doubt on his fidelity.
With the official 2023–24 NBA season having wrapped up earlier this week, the Summer League is set to commence next month. Moving forward, it appears that the Toronto native has rethought his allegiances.

Just last year, Drake recalled how much he appreciated King James’ support during his formative years in the rap game.
Prior to his show at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles last year, he was escorted through the crowd by the four-time league MVP and his son Bronny.
“I don’t know if you saw who walked me to the stage tonight, but the gentleman who walked me to the stage tonight is my brother — he goes by the name of LeBron James,” the Grammy winner told the crowd.
“And in 2009, when nobody believed in anything I had going on, that same guy showed up to a release party for a mixtape that was called So Far Gone.”
Referring to the 39-year-old’s current run with the LA Lakers, he continued: “He came all the way to Toronto, Canada to support me when I was trying to figure out how I would live my dreams. So tonight, however many years later, it’s an honor to be inside his building while we’re both still on this earth. I gotta do this building justice tonight.”
No new friends

Drake is gay and likes trannies🏳️⚧️
A grown a$$ man posting cryptic messages. What are we? Grade schoolers? lol. Passive aggressive much lol. This dude’s soul has been jeopardized. His ego is cracked. He really thought the sales/hits/playboy statuses made him untouchable. I’m glad daddy j Prince told him to move home bc nobody statewide, is rocking with him. He should’ve taken lil Wayne’s advice to heart and just kept it real instead of trying to be a tough guy.
What a simp. Either just diss them direct or pick up the phone. Dude reacts to every situation like an attention seeking tween girl.
Or could it be a money generating move ? He has millions of followers. How much do you think 1 post generates him in income? I remember a interview where boosie said he made $7,500 for an Instagram post. Drake way way bigger than boosie and has 10x the followers so how much do you think he makes off 1 IG post ? Man you commenters are a bunch of simpletons assuming he in his feelings and assuming the post was not done for money. Snoop has someone posting for him for a living he not even in charge and he posts multiple times in a day. Its financial. Not everything in music is what it seems.
We dont respect flights unless they are direct.
LOL its not a shot at Lebron…its a shot at Kendrick’s NBA summer league performance with Lebron in attendance.
Drake was raised by his mom and has nothing but teenages girls as fans so I would expect him to act passive aggressive like a middle school and high school teen girl. This is hip hop either be direct or just go do pop music. Don’t claim to be real and then throw indirect disses because jealous people do shit like that.
