Drake and LeBron James’ long-time friendship splintered when the Lakers superstar was spotted at Kendrick Lamar’s Pop Out concert last year following Drizzy’s battle with K.Dot.

Fast-forward to earlier this week, when James was seen with his wife, Savannah, and business partner Maverick Carter at a day party — reportedly in Cannes, France — turning up to Lamar’s “Not Like Us.”


Footage showcased James in a bucket hat dancing and singing along to every lyric of the Drake diss before the video shifts focus to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and his new wife, Lauren Sanchez.

“He dancing harder to it now leswitch up,” one fan commented on the video on Instagram. Another added: “He forcing it now!”

Drake hasn’t been shy about sending shots in James’ direction throughout 2025. At the top of the year, Drizzy’s Conductor Williams-produced “Fighting Irish Freestyle” appeared to see Drake jab at James for betraying him.

He’s also continued to tweak lyrics to tracks like “Nonstop” during his shows. “How I go 6 to 23 but not LeBron,” Drake rapped at Wireless Festival earlier in July.

During the same festival, Drake also sported a new tattoo, which covered up the former ink of James’ high school jersey, but now features NBA MVP and Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who is a fellow Canadian.

There’s also been much made about a bar on Drake’s “What Did I Miss?” single, which fans believed was a shot at James for switching sides on the 6 God. “I saw bro went to Pop Out with them, but been d—k riding gang since ‘Headlines,'” he raps on the track.

With Drake touring through Europe and hard at work on his upcoming Iceman album, it remains to be seen if he’ll have any more lyrical barbs for LeBron going forward.
