Drake has called out LeBron James once again in his latest song, “What Did I Miss?” The new track, which dropped during a surprise livestream, features several lines that fans believe are directed at the basketball star and other former friends.
In the song, Drake seems to address people who did not support him during his public feud with rapper Kendrick Lamar. One of the lines appears to reference LeBron attending Kendrick’s Juneteenth concert last year. Drake raps, “I saw bro at the Pop Out with them but been d**kriding gang since ‘Headlines,'” alluding to LeBron being seen with Drake’s rivals.
The track’s lyrics also mention feelings of betrayal and disappointment. Drake suggests that people he thought were close friends turned their backs on him when he needed support. This has divided fans—some think Drake has every right to address LeBron in his music, while others see it as unnecessary drama.
The rumored tension between Drake and LeBron began after videos surfaced of LeBron enjoying Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us,” and it intensified when LeBron stopped publicly supporting Drake.
Drake’s new album ICEMAN appears to reflect on these rifts and continues to address both fans and former friends. It remains to be seen if more direct references will appear on the rest of the project.
