LeBron James: Someone you’ve been friends with seemingly forever—Drake. Y’all cool? What’s the status there? Is that someone you’ll always have love for? LeBron James: Always. Always wish him the best. Obviously, we’re in different places right now, currently— He’s doing his thing. I’m doing mine. But it’s always love, for sure.

Drake’s anticipated ICEMAN album is on the horizon, but it appears he’s still in his feeling with NBA star DeMar DeRozan, according to a new leaked snippet. The leak surfaced on social media Saturday evening (September 13). Drake can be heard reflecting on his former friendship with DeRozan, a former Toronto Raptors player, then expressing his disappointment in believing the small forward could bring The 6 a championship. "When you was a part of the team we used to be planning our Mexico trip in the spring […] spur of the moment, “ Drake raps. “Why did we think you could get us a ring…"

Some speculated it had something to do with Curry's close relationship with hip-hop icon Drake, whom Lamar dissed during a heated music feud last year, or if it was simply just Curry being agitated by how often and overplayed the song had become. Almost exactly one year later, Curry explained his viral reaction to the song in that moment during a recent interview with Complex's Speedy Morman. "It was both," Curry admitted. "Everywhere we went, that's all I heard. And the fact that they knew who I was with. You can't do anything about what the DJ's playing. But I got sick of it at a certain point. "It was funny that the cameras caught me because that was from the soul."

At a show, Drake had Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's jersey tattooed on his arm. It replaced LeBron James' old high school jersey that was previously on the musician's arm. You can research it yourself, but Drake and James have beefed over the last year because the latter supported Kendrick Lamar.

The Oklahoma City Thunder lost big in Game 6 of the 2025 NBA Finals on Thursday. And so did Drake. The rapper posted on Instagram the day before the game that he had placed $800,000 in bets on the Thunder: $600,000 on them to win outright and $200,000 on them to win by between six and 10 points. Had both bets paid off for Drake, he would have received payouts totaling $1.734 million.

Jeff Teague on Kendrick Lamar selling out two nights in Toronto: Two nights. I mean, fans are fans. But to sell out two nights in Toronto when Drake is there… That's tough. Drake is Toronto.

Patrick Beverley on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: But okay, whatever. Real proper—real like Drake vibes. And I’m like, "Nah, bro. You got a chance to be really good in this league." He’s like, "You mean really good?" I’m like, "Bro, you have a chance to be a superstar." He goes, "What do you mean, superstar?" I’m like, "Motherf*er, you got a chance to be Michael Jordan to Kobe Bryant. That’s what I’m talking about!"** He couldn’t believe me. He was kind of shocked. Shocked at the stuff I was saying. And I’m like, "Nah, bro. You crazy nice. You got a chance to be as good as anybody." And slowly, slowly, slowly—he was a phenomenal rookie. He was never late. We never had to popcorn his car or do anything crazy like that. He got the donuts every day. Elite rookie.

KD said he "didn't pay attention" to Kendrick's performance and "kind of skimmed through the whole thing." Funny enough, that's the same way Drake said he listened to Future and Metro Boomin’s collab albums, We Don’t Trust You and We Still Don’t Trust You, on the diss track, "Family Matters."

Now a musician who wraps under the name G3, his latest track “Tweaker” is legitimately good. Already played in NBA locker rooms (including the Bulls and Cavs) as well as NFL locker rooms (including the Lions), this song has garnered more than 2.7 million listens on YouTube since it debuted on WorldStarHipHop. It is the number one trending song on YouTube music (ahead of artists such as Tyler, The Creator as well as Lil Baby, Bad Bunny, and Drake). There is a deeply nostalgic feeling to this track that is reminding many listeners of what hip-hop sounded like in the early 2000s, which is one of the reasons it is such an immediate hit.
