LeBron James is one of the most popular sports figures in the world. Unfortunately, people believe his long-standing friendship with Drake has ended after he was spotted at Kendrick Lamar’s Juneteenth event, “The Pop Out: Ken & Friends,” in Inglewood, California.

There are several reasons why people feel there is animosity between the two stars or that they are not on good terms. On Kendrick Lamar’s “Meet the Grahams,” he savagely rapped, “Ayy, LeBron, keep the family away; hey, Curry, keep the family away.” Keep the family away from anyone who embodies unconditional love for their children.”

Even after the song was published, Drake was seen posting good wishes to several USA basketball stars, including Devin Booker, Jayson Tatum, Kevin Durant, and Stephen Curry, with LeBron James conspicuously absent. This came when LeBron and his wife, Savannah James, were spotted at an Olympic event while she was wearing a PgLang shirt.

One fan on social media remarked, “They act like high school girls. “His n**ga Drake has Lebron TATTOOED on him.” Someone person commented, “You think LeBron cares about BBL DRAKE not posting him? You cannot advise an adult family man what music or concept he should attend. “Not Like Us” got Drake in his feelings. Another user said, “Kdot bots are embarrassing.” Is this why LeBron remains infatuated with Drake? Even after he chose a side, he continued to post his shoes on Instagram.

The previous post referenced to LeBron randomly posting a photo of Drake’s NOCTA Brand sneakers amid the supposed hostility. The final move in this mental chess game came when James was observed playing Drake’s “Lord Knows” featuring Rick Ross while celebrating the United States men’s basketball team’s recent gold medal win at the 2024 Olympics.

While it is unclear how this supposedly passive-aggressive war will conclude, followers wait eagerly for one side to clarify their position on the other.
