\n\t\u201cUnforgettable days,\u201d he wrote. \u201cThank you\u00a0@champagnepapi\u00a0for being so genuine and making me feel at home. I truly appreciate the connection we built.

\n\tInnocent enough, right?<\/p>\n
\n\tWell, toward the end of said carousel, there\u2019s a picture of a shirt that has \u201cThe only LeBron I rate is Juan\u201d airbrushed on it \u2014 which, of course, caught everyone\u2019s attention. It\u2019s both a play on Jay-Z\u2018s line from the Magna Carta Holy Grail<\/em> track \u201cOceans,\u201d on which he raps, \u201cOnly Christopher we acknowledge is Wallace,\u201d in reference to Christopher Columbus and his late friend The Notorious B.I.G., and a playful jab at his former buddy NBA player LeBron James. The two had a falling-out during Drake\u2019s battle with Kendrick Lamar in 2024, after James attended the Compton rapper\u2019s victory lap concert \u201cThe Pop Out,\u201d which resulted in Drake dissing him on numerous occasions since.<\/p>\n \n\tDrake also posted his own carousel on Instagram with a couple of bars doubling as a caption that starts with the claim that he\u2019s been proving himself right over the course of the last two years since his back-and-forth with Kendrick.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI spent the last 24 months proving myself right,\u201d he wrote. \u201cOf course I\u2019m about to have the summer of my life\/ Spent amounts on you that make my accountant roll his eyes\/ Just for you to show me how you really roll when it\u2019s go time\/ I clearly have a type\/ And I clearly only learn the lesson when the teacher is fine.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tTheir mutual friend, former NBA player Tristan Thompson, told Shannon Sharpe earlier this month that he\u2019s been trying to get the two to reconcile their differences. \u201cI would love to,\u201d he said after Sharpe suggested that he should get LeBron and Drake to bury the hatchet. \u201cListen, yeah. Listen. I\u2019m trying, man. I\u2019m trying, I\u2019m trying, I\u2019m trying.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tJames signed with the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday (July 24), so they\u2019ll be seeing a lot more of each other this upcoming season since Drake\u2019s Toronto Raptors also play in the NBA\u2019s Atlantic Division. Teams in the same division face each other four times over the course of an 82-game season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [analyse_source url=”https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/rb-hip-hop\/drake-nocta-manor-retreat-only-lebron-juan-1236302669\/”]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [analyse_image type=”featured” src=”https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/drake-lebron-james-2022-billboard-1800.jpg?w=1024″] Trending on Billboard Who knew Drake was such a big fan of padel?
