Drake made it unequivocally clear that this once-close friendship with LeBron James is over permanently.
During his performance at Wireless Festival in London, a wave of shock swept through the audience and media as they noticed that Drizzy’s once-prominent tattoo of LeBron James was now concealed.
Drake is carrying a grudge against LeBron James
The ‘You the Best’ rapper is still smarting that King James decided to attend the concert of his sworn enemy, Kendrick Lamar. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar and the global hip-hop icon had participated in a blizzard of concerts, sports outings, and corporate events before Drake and Kendrick became embroiled in one of the most consequential hip-hop battles of all time, a battle that shook the hip-hop world and left Drake feeling betrayed by his once-close friend.
Therefore, Drake considered it treacherous for his former close friend King James to attend Lamar’s pop-up concert last summer, especially after it was clear Lamar mauled Drake in the overall battle.
Fans discerned Drake’s new tattoo.
While onstage, fans and media noticed that the LeBron tattoo was covered up in favor of a jersey of Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The smooth point guard led the Thunder to their first NBA title last month, a feat that impressed Drake and led to a shift in his allegiances.
This was the latest in Drizzy’s campaign against LBJ. Drake spat some lyrical darts at James on the tracks “Fighting Irish” and “What Did I Miss?”
Social media had a field day talking about Drake’s tats
Drake’s tattoo saga became a hot topic on social media, with users from all corners of the internet chiming in on the controversy. Some fans wonder if Drake is still reeling emotionally from the thrashing that he took in his Lamar battle a year ago.
Some fans expressed their concern, with one exclaiming, “Kendrick Lamar, what have you done to this man?” while another, a self-proclaimed Drake fan, couldn’t hide their disappointment, saying, “Cringy 100%. And I’m a huge Drake fan, I love just a few minutes from him in Toronto.”
A third fan wondered while laughing, “Imagine SGA is just like ‘yeah I hate this guy too,'” one fan said, while a second person laughed, saying, “He was getting trolled for having it and is getting trolled for removing it, he can’t win.”
“Drake, my guy, but tattooing another man on you is susssss,” added a third fan, while a fourth said, “I mean, people are gonna hate, but if the person that you tatted on you switched up, you would change it too.”
This observer summed up the sentiments of many when he penned, “Covered up a tat of a man with another tat of a man.”
