“Last time I looked to my right, you n—– was standing beside me…” and “I saw bro in the Pop Out with them but been d—— gang since ‘Headlines.’” This was Drake featuring LeBron James in his “What Did I Miss?” but not in a positive light this time. A more than good friend at one time, they have seemingly been at odds ever since the Lakers’ superstar appeared and supported Kendrick Lamar. Now, Bron’s support is seemingly towards another artist, as Drake’s apparently changed a part of history that bonded them together.
For context, the Canadian star has been upset ever since the 4x NBA champion had an unmissable appearance at K.Dot’s Pop Out concert. Remember, this was the time when Drake was beefing with Kendrick Lamar, and LeBron was vibing and singing along to “Not Like Us” a diss track against the Canadian rapper. Naturally, it irked Drake, and he has now decided to change his support from Bron to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. How?
Currently, social media is trending “Drake covered up his ‘Irish 23’ LeBron tattoo with a Shai Gilgeous-Alexander “Thunder 2”. Back in 2018, tattoo artist Inal Bersekov inked the LeBron James from his old High School days at St. Vincent-St. Mary wearing the historic ‘Irish’ jersey, which sold at an auction in 2019 for $187,500. It’s the same jersey that LBJ wore on the legendary Sports Illustrated cover, where he was dubbed ‘The Chosen One.’ But that piece of art is replaced by Thunder and 2, a shout-out to SGA. A change in stance is not only from Drake; in fact, even LeBron has found other artists to jam with.
Recently, the 4x NBA champion tweeted from the Airport, “¡Benito! Estoy en el aeropuerto de Los Ángeles ahora mismo, ¡voy a verte! Me enteré de lo que tienes planeado para mañana por la noche. . ¡Bienvenida! .” Meaning, LeBron was ready for the Bad Bunny concert in Puerto Rico. The Lakers superstar was not lying. As in another video from fans, we could clearly see him vibing on Bad Bunny’s track and not worrying about the Lakers or even Drake.
