The friendship between LeBron James and Drake appears to be fractured.
In a now-deleted screenshot shared by Chris Blake Griffith on Instagram, the Canadian rapper was reportedly discussing his legal battle with UMG.
In November 2024, Drake decided to sue Universal Music Group over Kendrick Lamar’s hit diss track, “Not Like Us.”
Drake namedropped the Los Angeles Lakers superstar by trying to highlight the complexities of his lawsuit against Universal Music Group in his feud with Kendrick Lamar.
Screenshots show the singer mentioning LeBron James as an unfaithful husband.

LeBron James Reportedly Contacted Drake To Resolve Their Strained Relationship
The ongoing tension between Drake and Kendrick Lamar has fractured his relationship with LeBron.
Drake seemingly called out James in a leaked freestyle titled ‘Fighting Irish.’
The title references the mascot of LeBron’s high school.
According to insights from the New Rory & MAL podcast, LeBron played Lamar’s ‘Man at the Garden’ at his 40th birthday party, a decision that may have caused Drake to unfollow him on Instagram.
MAL suggested that LeBron James may have attempted to reconcile with Drake by calling him. He was ignored.
“I believe LeBron has probably reached out directly or through other avenues to have a conversation,” MAL shared.
“This isn’t beef,” MAL explained, “but Drake’s saying, ‘We’re not as cool as we were. You picked a side—stay there.”
