LeBron James Affirms 'Always Love' for Drake, Acknowledges They’re in 'Different Places'

The Lakers star addressed weeks of speculation in a new Complex interview without offering specifics.

Overview

  • James said on Complex’s 360 With Speedy that he wishes Drake the best and described them as being in different places right now.
  • He did not elaborate on the cause of the distance after months of scrutiny tied to his presence at Kendrick Lamar’s Pop Out event during the Drake–Kendrick feud.
  • Drake has signaled displeasure in recent months, tweaking a LeBron-referencing lyric in Nonstop during a live performance and appearing to take shots in Fighting Irish Freestyle and What Did I Miss?.
  • He also covered a tattoo of LeBron with ink honoring Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and unfollowed James on social media, according to multiple reports.
  • Neither side has provided a full explanation, and Drake is continuing his Iceman album rollout with singles released and no confirmed release date.
