James posted an Instagram story addressing Lamar, writing: “He’s gonna kill this …! Can’t wait.” He also included a poop emoji, which many interpret as a direct shot at Drake.

Drake recently took aim at LeBron by altering the lyrics of his song Nonstop during a concert in Australia. Additionally, the rapper seemingly targeted the basketball star in his track Fighting Irish Freestyle.

Notably, their feud began from a place of mutual admiration. Drake and LeBron were once close friends, with the rapper even having a tattoo referencing the NBA icon. However, their relationship reportedly soured after James attended Lamar’s concert.

Despite the ongoing tension, neither side has directly addressed the conflict, keeping their grievances out of the public spotlight.
