WATCH: LeBron James Dismisses Drake’s Unfollow Controversy While Enjoying His Hit in Practice
Despite Drake's social media activity, the Lakers star, LeBron James, seems unfazed. During the second day of practice, the team facility played Drake's song "Free Smoke," and James rapped along while taking his shots.
James and Drake have been close friends for many years. In 2023, Drake walked on stage with James and his son, Bronny, during a concert at Crypto.com Arena. Back in 2016, James also joined Drake on stage during a concert in Ohio.
Drake didn't just unfollow LeBron on Instagram—he also unfollowed Joe Budden, Playboi Carti, Kendrick Lamar, and DeMar DeRozan. DeRozan's appearance at Lamar's concert could have influenced Drake's decision.
The good news is that James still follows Drake on Instagram. Focused on the upcoming NBA season, James isn't too concerned about Drake's unfollowing.
LeBron and Drake's friendship, which started in LeBron's early NBA years, remains strong. In 2018, Drake even got a tattoo of LeBron in his high school jersey, showing his admiration for the basketball star. Though rumors about their relationship surface, their shared history suggests a deep and lasting bond.
