Kendrick Lamar-Drake rivalry is one of the most talked-about beefs in the hip-hop world. LeBron not only sang along but also posted lyrics on his Instagram story:“Therapy taught me how to open up / It also showed me I don't give a f**,"*, and a huffing emoji.

Drake even had a tattoo ‘23’ on his arm, which happens to be LeBron’s jersey number.Marca’s report suggested that Drake considered Lebron’s endorsing Lamar’s track a serious betrayal by the Lakers’ star. In his latest song, he has come up with lyrics that are a sort of direct attack on LeBron.
