LeBron James has shown his support for Kendrick Lamar only hours after he seemingly received a jab from Drake, who performed at an Australian concert.

King James previously had a good relationship with Drake years ago until the four-time NBA champion attended one of Lamar’s concerts back in June.

James’ appearance at the concert triggered lots of conversations and things now seem to have gone south between the two.

Recently, Drake reportedly tweaked his lyrics and took a jab at the NBA legend in Australia while he performed “Nonstop.”

James then took to Instagram hours after to rally behind Lamar who looks set to take the world by storm this year, insisting the history-maker at the 2025 Grammys is going to have an incredible year.

“HE GONE KILL THAT SH*T! CANT WAIT *Bart Scott voice”, James wrote on his story.

It seems when LeBron vibed to Lamar’s “Man at the Garden” while celebrating his 40th birthday, it did not sit well with Drake, and the rapper now seems to have made his stance clear on his relationship with King James.

Drake did not only change his lyrics to diss the Lakers superstar, but many listeners also feel he threw jabs at James in his “Fighting Irish Freestyle” earlier this year.

None of the two stars, LeBron James and Drake have publicly declared a feud, yet it is clear there’s a mini back-and-forth between the rapper and NBA legend, with the latter in full support of Kendrick Lamar as of now.
