LeBron James APOLOGIZES To Drake After “Not Like Us” Drama … Will Their Bromance Be Saved?
Looks like one of hip hop and sports’ most iconic friendships may be on the mend. Media Take Out has learned that LeBron James has privately apologized to Drake after their very public falling out earlier this year — and fans are wondering if the bromance can ever be fully restored.
The Falling Out
For years, LeBron and Drake were inseparable — the rapper was courtside at Cavs games, the NBA star popped up at OVO Fest, and the two often shouted each other out like brothers.
But things turned sour when LeBron embraced Kendrick Lamar’s blockbuster diss track “Not Like Us”, which was loaded with defamatory lyrics aimed squarely at Drake.
LeBron didn’t just nod along — he actually came out on stage with Kendrick in Los Angeles, hyping up the crowd as the Compton rapper performed the track. For Drake, that moment reportedly felt like the ultimate betrayal.
LeBron Reaches Out
Now, weeks later, LeBron is apparently trying to make things right. Sources close to Drake tell Media Take Out that LeBron has been reaching out through multiple channels.
“LeBron reached out and apologized,” one insider explained. “He said it was about his love for hip hop, and he didn’t realize how it could have hurt Drake. He’s sorry, and he wants to try and make it up.”
According to our source, LeBron has texted Drake directly and also used mutual friends to pass along the message.
Drake’s Response … Or Lack Of One
So how is Drake taking the apology? For now, he’s reportedly not responding.
“Drake hasn’t said much. He’s been silent about it,” the insider said. “But given how close they used to be, a lot of people believe he’ll eventually forgive Bron. They were like brothers.”
Fans online are split. Some believe Drake should let it go, pointing out that hip hop beefs always spill into pop culture, and LeBron was just vibing with the biggest hit of the summer. Others argue that Bron broke the code by siding with Drake’s biggest enemy at the height of the feud.
“LeBron hyping up Kendrick while he tore Drake down was crazy,” one fan tweeted. “That’s not what a real friend does.”
Can They Fix It?
If history is any guide, the two may patch things up eventually. Both are family men now, with legacies that stretch far beyond the court and the stage. And given how intertwined their worlds are — from basketball arenas to music industry events — avoiding each other forever might be impossible.
Still, it’s clear the trust has been broken. LeBron may have apologized, but it will take more than a text to repair a friendship that once looked unshakable.
What’s Next
As of now, Drake remains focused on his music and upcoming legal drama with UMG, while LeBron is preparing for another NBA season. Whether their brotherhood can survive this fallout is still up in the air.
One thing’s for sure: the world will be watching if the King and the 6 God ever stand side by side again.
