LeBron James is seemingly letting Drake know that it’s all love after the NBA superstar was previously seen turning up to Kendrick Lamar‘s “Not Like Us” at the Juneteenth Pop Out earlier this summer.
In a post to his Instagram Story on Monday (August 5), LeBron shared a photo rocking Drizzy’s Nike Air Force Ones collab that have ‘Love you forever’ etched on them. He also added an infinity symbol emoji to the post.

Though the Ohio native has been a close friend and supporter of the 6 God since the latter broke into the music industry, many felt that lines were drawn in the sand when he was spotted rapping “Not Like Us” word for word at K.dot’s June concert.
Soon after the gig, Drake posted a mirror selfie wearing what appears to be a Cleveland Guardians jersey with the words “Summer League” stamped over the image – which many also took as a dig at LeBron’s turbulent relationship with the city of Cleveland.

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.”
