LeBron James catches wild stray as Drake’s leaked texts leave internet in splits
LeBron James siding with Kendrick Lamar in his rap beef with Drake has destroyed his relationship with the Canadian.

Drake disses LeBron James' playoff hopes
Over the past year, LeBron James has seemingly moved away from his close friendship with rapper Drake. Now instead, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar vibes to songs from the Canadian rapper’s rival, Kendrick Lamar.
The 40-year-old superstar has been to Kendrick Lamar’s concerts. It was a stark contrast to when he was once on stage with Drake when their friendship was rock solid. Now James not only openly appreciates the Los Angeles rapper’s music but also shouts out other musicians who are not associated with Drake.
Once Drake understood well and clear which side his former friend was, he started showing his anger towards it. He unfollowed James from social media platforms. Then he started leaking some unreleased music where he apparently talks about the Lakers superstar’s infidelity.
Streamer Kai Cenat confronted DJ Akademiks, the originator of the James infidelity accusations. From that confrontation it became apparent that Drake had given him false information, which ended up causing a lot of damage to James’ credibility.
However, that did not stop Drake from showing his love towards those NBA superstars who have been loyal to him. He appreciates them as both basketball players and human beings, unlike LeBron James, who he now berates. One such berating message from his DMs with the GrandWizardChatNigg page leaked online.
N****s out in the first round, nothing left to do but dance.

This was the Canadian rapper’s response to a video GrandWizardChatNigg shared where LeBron James is seen dancing to a Kendrick Lamar track. This wild stray though, shows Drake is not happy with how his former friend ditched him and chose his rival.
Drake’s diss has fans losing it on social media
Ever since LeBron James has switched sides, fans have been waiting to see how Drake responds to the apparent betrayal. The rapper tried to cause some damage legally both to those associated with James as well as Kendrick Lamar.
But this leaked DM seemed to some as if the Canadian native was showing a mix of anger as well as envy. Fans took to social media to talk about it. Examples of those comments are below.

So pretty much, Drake saw the Not Like Us Music video, and he didn’t like troll pages on X? Is there anything we didn’t expect😂

Drake : "I left pieces of me in places I can never return to.”
“Karma is a baddie” is a wild sentence to relay to another male

Fans understand that the entire situation has hurt Drake. But over the course of a year, the narrative surrounding him has been turning for the worse. He still draws packed crowds at concerts and has a loyal fan following. But those neutral to the situation are enjoying the discourse.
LeBron James does not add to the discourse with his words
LeBron James might vibe to a lot of Kendrick Lamar’s tracks. His family also joins in, and they have been pictured singing along or attending concerts. However, that is all what the Los Angeles Lakers superstar does.
James does not openly talk about the discourse, nor does he post about it on social media. He keeps his side quiet so as to let the discourse run its course. He knows all too well that anything he says, or writes will add further fuel to an already sensitive subject.
With him already facing enough criticism from fans, right-wing fanatics and some members of the media, any addition to this rap beef will only draw more attention. He focuses on the final few years of his already stellar NBA career.
At the same time, he is also focused on his son, Bronny James‘ time with the Lakers. He recently confronted ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith about comments concerning his son. That confrontation became the talk of the town and Smith spoke it about on several occasions. James does not need any more negativity.
