When the Kendrick Lamar-Drake feud started during the NBA Playoffs, it created a divide within the NBA community. As each diss track dropped in the following weeks and months, NBA fans continued to weigh in on the rivalry and choose sides.
LeBron initially stayed neutral, likening the beef to a heavyweight boxing match. Since he plays in Los Angeles, Kendrick Lamar's hometown, and shares a long-standing friendship with Drake, it was expected that LeBron would show support for both sides. However, LeBron was seen rapping along to one of Kendrick Lamar's diss tracks aimed at Drake. This, along with his appearance at a pop-up concert hosted by Lamar in LA, led many fans to believe he had taken sides.
During the 2024 Paris Olympics, Drake used social media to wish several NBA players well, including Devin Booker, Jayson Tatum, Kevin Durant, and Steph Curry from Team USA, as well as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander from Team Canada. The clear exclusion of LeBron James raised suspicions that Drake might not be on good terms with him. Now, with Drake unfollowing LeBron on Instagram, it's becoming more apparent that there's tension between the two.
LeBron James is preparing for the 2024-25 NBA season with the Los Angeles Lakers, marking his 22nd year in the league. He pointed out that it's "unfair" to set expectations based on the team's new dynamics under coach JJ Redick, emphasizing the importance of daily practice and teamwork. This season holds special significance for LeBron as he plays alongside his son, Bronny, who he describes as a source of "pure joy" despite the challenges of staying focused. The Lakers recently started training camp, with their season opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves on October 22.
