Before the 2024-25 NBA season began, Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James suffered what might be his biggest loss all year.
That&#8217;s right, Drake is apparently no longer following the 20-time All-Star on Instagram:

For a few months, internet sleuths have pointed to what they thought was evidence of a genuine rift between the notable personalities. It turns out, they might&#8217;ve been right.
James may have drawn Drake&#8217;s ire when he attended Kendrick Lamar&#8217;s &#8220;Pop Out&#8221; concert in June.

At the time, the long-running beef between Drake and Lamar had reached a breaking point and the rappers were trying to one-up each other in competing diss tracks. The general consensus had Lamar as the clear victor.
Even now, Drake still finds himself on the defensive. One of his reps confirmed to Page Six&#8216;s Tamantha Ryan on Monday he did not in fact send a cease and desist letter to Lamar to prevent him from performing &#8220;Not Like Us&#8221; during the halftime show at Super Bowl LIX.
The friendship between Drake and James continued despite LeBron systematically dismantling the Toronto Raptors in the playoffs during his second run with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Perhaps attending that Kendrick Lamar concert was a bridge too far.
