Drake has reportedly unfollowed NBA legends LeBron James and DeMar DeRozan.
Drake mentioned that at some point in life, people often realise that those they once considered friends or close allies may not stay the same.
Drake recently shared his thoughts on fake friends, warning about those who might “switch up” and “stab you in the back” as his feud with fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar intensifies. At Toronto’s Nostalgia Party, hosted by Canadian broadcaster Tyrone Edwards on Saturday night, the One Dance artist took the mic and made it clear that his true friends were present there. He also cautioned the audience about others who might not be as loyal.
He mentioned that at some point in life, people often realise that those they once considered friends or close allies may not stay the same. He added, “I’m going to tell you, you’re going to come to a point in life where people you thought were your friends or people you thought were close to you, they might switch up,” reports Page Six.
Drake pointed out that, no matter where one is in life, they’ve likely experienced it before and will probably face it again. “That’s just how life is,” he said, noting that sometimes it feels like it’s just you alone, without anyone else by your side.
After finishing his speech, Drake played Beyonce’s track Me, Myself and I. The rapper also made a point by playing 50 Cent’s 2003 hit Many Men, which features lines about betrayal and destiny.
Drake’s comments reportedly came after the news that he had unfollowed NBA legends LeBron James and DeMar DeRozan on Instagram. The move led fans to speculate that it was related to both athletes showing support for Lamar by attending his Juneteenth concert over the summer. James was in the audience, while DeRozan joined Lamar onstage as he performed his diss track Not Like Us, aimed at Drake.
In the track, Lamar accuses Drake of inappropriate behaviour, which the latter has denied. The feud between the two rappers has escalated, with Drake making allegations about Lamar’s relationship with fiancee Whitney Alford and questioning the paternity of their child, informs Page Six.
This ongoing feud began in March when Lamar appeared on the track Like That alongside Future and Metro Boomin. Things escalated further when Lamar responded to J Cole’s mention of him in Drake’s song First Person Shooter.
