During the feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, numerous celebrities reacted to the tracks that emerged from it. Whenever fans were seen enjoying a diss from either artist, supporters of that rapper would claim them as part of their own. In reality, this was often exaggerated. It's possible that a person simply appreciates a song for its quality, rather than its targeted diss. However, there have been instances where the opposite has been the case. For example, LeBron James faced backlash from Drake's fans for showing support for Lamar's music and "The Pop Out." Some even suggested that James was favoring Kendrick Lamar. Joe Budden discussed this on his podcast, expressing curiosity about what he called a "passive-aggressive LeBron-Drake beef." He noted that Drake congratulated Olympic athletes but overlooked James, stating, "I know nobody is paying too much attention to it, but it is a real thing. It's happening." Budden speculated about LeBron's wife, Savannah, possibly liking a shirt associated with Kendrick, suggesting it might indicate a disconnect between the two stars. However, this tension appears to have subsided. LeBron seems to have acknowledged the rumors about his "fractured" relationship with Drake by posting a picture on his Instagram Story of Drake's Air Force 1 sneaker, which features the phrase "Love you forever" on the midsole.
He accompanied the image with the "♾️" emoji, implying their bond remains strong. Naturally, Drake's fans quickly reacted on social media, labeling him a "team switcher."
