Drake’s close ally, OVO Chubbs, might have subtly dissed NBA superstar LeBron James following Team USA’s recent Olympic basketball victory. While the world celebrated the team’s gold medal win over France, Chubbs took to his Instagram Stories to congratulate stars like Jayson Tatum, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant—but conspicuously left out LeBron James from his shoutouts.
Adding fuel to the fire, Drake himself reacted to the win by posting a photo on his burner Instagram account, spotlighting Curry—a known supporter of Drake during his ongoing beef with Kendrick Lamar.
Meanwhile, LeBron, who has recently shown some support for Kendrick Lamar, was seen enjoying the Compton rapper’s Drake diss track, “Not Like Us,” and even attended Kendrick’s Pop Out concert last month.
However, LeBron might have attempted to mend fences with Drake by sharing a photo of himself wearing Drizzy’s exclusive Nike Air Force Ones, featuring the heartfelt inscription, “Love you forever,” along with an infinity symbol, suggesting their bond is unbreakable.
Despite LeBron’s gesture, some believe the rift between the two icons deepened when LeBron was spotted rapping along to Kendrick’s diss track.
In response, Drake posted a cryptic mirror selfie wearing a Cleveland Guardians jersey with “Summer League” emblazoned on it—a move interpreted by many as a jab at LeBron’s complicated history with Cleveland.
This subtle social media exchange has fans wondering if a deeper rift is developing between Drake and LeBron, two figures who have long been close friends and mutual supporters.
