LeBron James may have been enjoying some downtime in Cannes with his wife, Savannah, but a quick moment caught on video has sparked major drama across the internet. The Lakers icon was seen rapping along to Kendrick Lamar’s hit “Not Like Us” while partying on vacation. But it wasn’t just any song choice. The track has become the anthem of Lamar’s war with Drake, who was LeBron’s longtime friend and one of his most publicly supported artists.
That moment did not sit well with streamer and internet personality Adin Ross, who did not hold back when commenting on the clip. Ross took to his socials and went off. “As I have admired LeBron my entire life, witnessing this behavior makes me question his character,” Ross said in a video that racked up views almost instantly. “If your best friend for over a decade is being disrespected in such a manner, it raises concerns about loyalty.”
Ross was heated, calling Lamar’s diss “whack” and “grimey,” and expressing frustration at what he saw as LeBron turning his back on someone he’s long shown support for.
Drake, known for throwing lyrical jabs without always naming names, appeared to address the situation in his recent track “What Did I Miss?” The Toronto star raps, “I saw bro went to Pop Out with them, but been d*ck riding gang since ‘Headlines.’” The line is as subtle as it is sharp, leaving fans wondering if it was a direct callout to the King.
For years, LeBron and Drake have been more than just two icons at the top of their game. They’ve shared courtside moments, partied together, and shown each other love publicly. But now, the internet is asking if that bond is starting to crack under the pressure of rap beef and viral clips.
With fans dissecting lyrics, reactions, and every move on the Gram, this saga is far from over.
