In a recent social media post, Drake’s longtime associate, OVO Chubbs, appears to have taken a subtle jab at NBA superstar LeBron James following Team USA’s gold medal win at the Paris Olympics.
Chubbs took to Instagram Stories to congratulate Jayson Tatum, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant for their Olympic success, notably omitting James from his praise. This omission has sparked speculation about a potential rift between the OVO camp and the NBA icon.
Drake himself reacted to the victory by posting a celebratory picture of Curry on his burner Instagram account. The photo further highlighted the close ties between Curry and Drake, contrasting with LeBron’s recent engagement with Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us,” which targets Drake.
LeBron James, who has previously been a strong supporter of Drake, seemed to extend an olive branch to the rapper last week by posting a photo of himself wearing Drake-branded Nike Air Force Ones, adorned with the inscription “Love you forever.” This gesture, accompanied by an infinity symbol emoji, suggested ongoing support for the artist despite recent tensions.
The relationship between Drake and LeBron has appeared strained recently, with LeBron rapping along to “Not Like Us” at a Kendrick Lamar concert and Drake posting a cryptic selfie in a Cleveland Guardians jersey, hinting at their past controversies.
In contrast, Stephen Curry has reaffirmed his allegiance to Drake, even criticizing the prominence of Kendrick Lamar’s diss track. Curry, who has expressed his admiration for Drake, remains a steadfast ally amid the ongoing lyrical and social disputes.
As tensions continue, it remains to be seen how these dynamics will evolve, especially as both parties navigate their professional and personal relationships in the public eye.
