Rapper Drake does not seem to leave the headlines anytime soon, especially after his latest song tracks on Friday and Saturday. After allegedly dissing NBA legend LeBron James over his ‘What did I miss?’ track, Drake recently released his new song, ‘Supermax.’ Now, in this song, he did not diss anyone but did mention a famous NBA reporter, Taylor Rooks.

Rooks is a well-known personality among the NBA fanbase. As the Canadian rapper mentioned her name, the NBA fan base got alerted and started seeking answers regarding the mention. Notably, in the unreleased song “Supermax,” which was teased during the rapper’s unexpected Iceman Episode 1 broadcast, Rooks reacted to Drake’s remarks about her.

I was talking to Taylor over drinks, and it was getting deep / ‘Not everyone can handle this pressure and, in the city, you’re the national treasure,’ that’s what she said to me.

Drake said

Rooks shared an Instagram Story right after the livestream aired, and it was clear from it who Drake was referring to when he said that. “That’s what she said to me,” Rooks captioned a screenshot of the Iceman Episode 1 video, presumably confirming her involvement and echoing the song’s line.

Many fans speculated about the nature of Rooks and Drake’s connection, which the sports writer has long suggested is a close buddy, after the lyric and Rooks’ confirmation drove fans into a frenzy on social media.

To add to this, it was also reported earlier that Rooks was dating former Twitter Ceo Jack Dorsey, who sided with Kendrick Lamar during the rapper’s beef battle a year ago, with fans connecting all the dots on social media. Rumors of a complete project release were fueled by Drake’s mysterious livestream event, with Supermax being one of them.

Kevin Durant showcased his support for Drake’s Iceman Episode 1 video

After Kendrick Lamar and Drake beefed with each other over their rap songs, many had to make decisions as to whose side they were on, especially NBA stars, as the fans were keeping an eye on their movements. While many sided with Lamar, a few stood loyal to Drake in this beef. One of them is NBA veteran Kevin Durant, an old friend of Drake.

So much so that Durant took to his X to showcase his support for Drake’s Iceman Episode 1 video despite knowing the rapper has dissed his pal, LeBron James, in the song. It appeared that Durant was supporting Drake because the post used the same background as the basement where Drake’s most recent release was filmed.

In addition, fans were quick to throw shade on Durant’s post, linking it with James without any reason to do so. Durant, who is known for his outspoken nature, did not waste time to chime back to the fans in the comment section and made his thoughts clear regarding the matter. It was clear Durant was just supporting his friend’s new release and had nothing to do with James.
