The deterioration of Drake and LeBron James’ friendship appears to be part of the fallout from the Drizzy and Kendrick Lamar feud.

Drake hit the stage for night two in Perth of his Anita Max Wynn Tour on Wednesday (Feb. 5), and in fan-captured video, flipped around some lyrics to “Nonstop” during the show to slight King James.


“How I got 6 to 23 but not LeBron, man,” he raps on the tweaked version. The original featured on 2018’s Scorpion had Drake rhyme, “How I go from 6 to 23 like I’m LeBron?”

Even James’ former teammate and current ESPN broadcaster Richard Jefferson had some fun with Drake’s tweak on X, sharing a gif in response.

Drizzy previously called out those who switched sides on him during the Kendrick Lamar battle at the top of 2025 on his “Fighting Irish” freestyle, which was uploaded to Conductor Williams’ YouTube page and quickly taken down.

“The world fell in love with the gimmicks, even my brothers got tickets, seemed like they loved every minute/ Just know the s–t is personal to us and wasn’t just business/ Analyzing behavioral patterns is somewhat suspicious,” he raps on the track.

James was among those in attendance at Kendrick Lamar’s Pop Out concert on Juneteenth in L.A. last year, rapping along to Drake diss tracks such as “Euphoria” and “Not Like Us.” The Fighting Irish also happen to be the mascot for James’ St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, which he attended in Ohio during the early 2000s.

LeBron has yet to address any of the speculation surrounding his relationship with Drake and whether that’s changed in the recent months since the Kendrick Lamar feud.
