Drake took to Instagram to share photos of him partying in Los Angeles on Monday night (May 17) with the likes of James, actor Michael B. Jordan, Snowfall star Damson Idris, sports agent Rich Paul and singer Giveon, who he collaborated with on “Chicago Freestyle.” The meet-up celebrated the the launch of the new Lobos 1707 Tequila, which is backed by LeBron James.
“Congrats to my brothers nothing like some Lobos to start your Monday off right,” Drake wrote along with the photos.
LeBron James came under fire on social media for attending the party before such a big game, but photographer Lenny S. cleared up a couple of concerns in the comments of his own Instagram post. He claimed everyone at the event was PCR tested and vaccinated, with James apparently only drinking water on the night.

Only we’re ignorant enough to have a Taco Tuesday on a Monday. Thank You @mrserinharris for always executing the best events.”
