NBA fans roast LeBron James after Drake leaks ‘Fighting Irish’ freestyle: “Drake told Bron he gon drop the YesJulz files”
Rapping legend Drake takes a swipe at LeBron James in his latest diss track as per several NBA fans on social media.

Drake and LeBron James
Despite not having a public feud with rapping icon Drake, LeBron James was the target of his most recent freestyle. The 38-year-old cultural legend has been accused of criticizing the Los Angeles Lakers legend in his most recent hit song after releasing his new song, Fighting Irish freestyle. This comes after James has publicly been spotted supporting Drake’s rival, Kendrick Lamar‘s music, several times.
Not only that, James also attended Lamar’s music event in 2024 alongside some basketball stars. Drake is a renowned Toronto Raptors supporter and one of the most well-known celebrity fans associated with the NBA. Over the years, he has appeared in various venues, including as a courtside spectator supporting his home team and as a guest on televised shows.
Remember we tradin’ watches?
That said, Drake said in his diss track
I gave you that Arabic dial, you gave me a numbered edition
You would even check up on my son like a pediatrician
Sure convinced the gang this sh*t was rooted in love when it isn’t
Show me how different we are, theres blessings in juxtaposition
I guess now you boys gotta abandon your summer tradition
Cold shoulders I gave in the Hamptons, it come with the distance
Figured we was always gon’ be close, like ovens and kitchens
I was sadly mistaken, the loyalty wasn’t a given…
This particular verse has gotten the NBA fans stunned, with many hinting that this may be a possible diss towards the Lakers star. Some even went to the extent of claiming that DeMar DeRozan, another NBA star, has also been dissed through this verse. However, there is no confirmation whether the Canadian rapper has dissed these NBA stars.

However, the track’s title is the clearest indication that he is snooping on LeBron James.
At St. Vincent-St. Mary’s High School, James played basketball for a squad known as the Fighting Irish. James’s journey to fame began when he first came to the attention of the public. Drake’s most recent song has the same name, and that’s no accident.
Fans can’t get enough out of Drake – LeBron alleged beef
Drake appears to have cut off contact with LeBron James and family. Drake’s feud with Kendrick Lamar, which went viral on the internet in 2024, appears to be the origin of the dispute. Nevertheless, fans can’t get over Drake’s words for James in his latest diss track and have bombarded social media with their weird and interesting takes.
Many fans had different views and perspectives on this particular diss track. Some claimed that this was a straight diss targeted toward James and other NBA stars. One fan wrote on X, “The world fell in love with the gimmicks, even my brothers got tickets,” 1000% about Demar and LeBron.” Another fan wrote, “Lebron been changing teams his whole career, Drake ain’t think he was gonna abandon him like the city of Cleveland.” Check out some of the reactions below:
