Kevin Durant is making it clear—his loyalty to Drake isn’t shifting, even as tensions simmer between the rapper and fellow NBA star LeBron James. After Drake dropped his latest track, “What Did I Miss?” on July 4, fans couldn’t help but notice pointed lyrics that seemed to target James. The song, which premiered during Drake’s “Iceman: Episode 1” livestream, reignited speculation about a strained relationship between the once-tight duo.
But just as online chatter suggested Durant was taking subtle jabs at LeBron by reposting visuals from Drake’s new video, the soon-to-be Rockets forward quickly clarified his stance. Responding to fans on X, Durant dismissed the drama with a blunt reply: “I really have to applaud how you new era gen XX babies are such dedicated haters of everything.”
While social media loves to connect dots, Durant’s support seems more about friendship than choosing sides. After all, Drake and KD have shared a close relationship for years—Drake even referenced Durant on multiple tracks, and KD reportedly A&R’d Drake’s 2023 album For All The Dogs.
Meanwhile, LeBron hasn’t exactly stayed quiet. His IG stories have featured bars from Kendrick Lamar and Clipse, fueling rumors that he’s siding with K. Dot in the infamous beef. Add in Drake’s not-so-subtle lines directed at “bro” who was “in the Pop Out with them,” and fans have plenty of material to dissect.
One thing’s for sure: Drake still has KD in his corner, even if the rest of the rap world seems split.
