Canadian rapper Drake has once again made waves with his latest freestyle, “Fighting Irish,” which explores themes of strained friendships and lost loyalty. While the song’s lyrics remain open to interpretation, NBA fans believe it may be a subtle jab at Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James. Speculation suggests that once close to James, Drake feels their bond has weakened, potentially due to James’ growing camaraderie with fellow artist Kendrick Lamar.
The controversy took center stage during the latest episode of the “Gil’s Arena” podcast, where Nick Young, also known as Swaggy P, weighed in on the matter. The former NBA player and Lamar’s cousin didn’t hold back in his criticism of LeBron James. He accused the Lakers star of failing to support Drake during his alleged feud with Lamar.

“I’m going at LeBron. If I’m Drake, I’m dropping everything. ‘What he said? Remember that little barber shop sh*t? ‘What I tell you to do, Drake?’ Drake listened to the n***a and sh*t. Don’t get rid of him ’cause he a** now,” Young said.
LeBron James Reflects On Handling Criticism After 22 Seasons In The NBA
LeBron James, the NBA’s oldest active player, recently shared insights on how he deals with outside criticism after 22 seasons in the league. As one of basketball’s greatest icons, James has faced scrutiny throughout his career. However, he revealed that with age and experience, he’s learned to focus on what truly matters.
“I guess it’s just growth from my age and understanding what matters and what doesn’t matter. Outside noise has never deterred me from my goal and my personal journey, my personal legend. So you just know that the only way you can get to where you want to get to is work. I put the work in and nothing else matters after that,” LeBron said.
For the Lakers star, age has become merely a number. He recently expressed confidence that he could continue playing the game at an elite level for another five to seven years if he chose to.
