Drake Targets LeBron James Again in New Album Releases

Canadian rapper Drake has reignited his apparent feud with Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James through lyrics on his newly released trio of studio albums: "Iceman," "Habibti," and "Maid of Honour." Specifically, on the track "Make Them Remember" from "Iceman," Drake raps lines suggesting James is a "team switcher" and contrasts himself as "a real n---a" while James is not. This latest volley follows previous lyrical jabs dating back to Kendrick Lamar's 2024 feud, where James publicly supported Lamar at a concert attended by other NBA players. Drake had previously referenced James in a 2025 freestyle and altered lyrics during a 2025 live performance. While the tension is evident now, the two figures have a history of mutual support, including James appearing on stage with Drake in 2018 and walking out with him in 2023. The rapper recently covered a tattoo he once had of James' high school jersey with a tribute to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

Key Points:

- Drake released three new albums, including "Iceman," featuring lyrics critical of LeBron James.

- The current tension appears linked to LeBron James' public support for Kendrick Lamar during his 2024 rap feud with Drake.

- Despite recent jabs, Drake and James have a documented history of public support for one another dating back to 2018.
