The conflict between Drake and Kendrick Lamar has escalated beyond just the two artists. After Kendrick won last year, various issues have emerged. Recently, Drake has expressed frustration with people who turned against him during the feud. He feels betrayed by those he once considered close friends. LeBron James stands out as a primary target in this situation, and conversations about it are ongoing. Drake reportedly addressed LeBron in his latest freestyle, rumored to be titled "Fighting Irish." If true, this title is significant, as it relates to LeBron's high school mascot. There are questions about why this song was leaked when it was, and the New Rory & MAL podcast might have some answers. According to Rory, MAL mentioned that LeBron played Kendrick's song "man at the garden" at his 40th birthday party after Drake unfollowed him on Instagram. MAL speculated that this incident bothered LeBron, prompting him to prepare his response a few months ago. An intriguing detail is that LeBron supposedly reached out to Drake in an attempt to reconcile. MAL believes LeBron may have tried to contact Drake to discuss things.
However, MAL thinks that Drake isn't interested in hearing explanations right now. He suggests that Drake's message is clear: he doesn't want anyone trying to reach out. Drake seems to feel that things changed when they were at Mike Rubin's party and wants to set boundaries. He is letting people know they need to stay on their chosen side. While none of this is confirmed, fans are reacting and poking fun at Drake, indicating that 2024 may start off with drama extending into 2025.
