LeBron James addressed questions about the status of his relationship with rapper Drake during an interview with Speedy Morman on Thursday. The LA Lakers superstar expressed that he wishes nothing but the best for Drake but noted, “He’s doing his thing, I’m doing mine.” Despite the apparent rift between them, James emphasized that “it’s always love” for the artist.
Van Lathan, host of the podcast *Higher Learning*, reacted to LeBron’s comments during an episode with co-host Rachel Lindsay. Lathan said, “I don’t think we’ve seen the end of this back-and-forth. I honestly hope that no lines are crossed in this that significantly injure the perception the public has of the other guy.” He added, “The bad version about this is it goes crazy because a lot of persons in this town stay cordial because of what they know about each other.”
Lindsay noted that LeBron seems to have moved on from his beef with Drake, but the rapper appears unwilling to let go. Lathan even predicted that Drake’s next album might be titled *Wish Him The Best*.
The tension reportedly escalated after LeBron James sided with Kendrick Lamar, who engaged in a fiery dissing contest with Drake. Following this, Drake appeared to cut ties with James, taking subtle shots at the four-time MVP in his lyrics. In a notable move, the rapper removed a tattoo of LeBron James and replaced it with an image of Oklahoma City Thunder superstar and MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
How the relationship between LeBron James and Drake will evolve after this latest interview remains uncertain.
### Relationship Dynamics: “Mini-Support Group,” Says Van Lathan
Van Lathan offered insight into the unique bond between LeBron and Drake, describing it less as a traditional friendship and more as a “mini-support group.” According to the former TMZ Live producer, both men have faced intense scrutiny in their remarkable careers, which fostered a connection grounded in mutual understanding.
He elaborated, “Them being pals, it more seemed like it was a mini-support group than it was a friendship. Like, they be on the phone, ‘Hey, man, I score 40, won the championship, and said it was a bubble champ. What you got?’ ‘Ni**a, I went No. 1 again and they telling me some f**king Kendrick Lamar, Jay-Z, Tupac, B. What the f**k? Aye, man, let’s go party together.’ Okay, cool.”
The Academy Award winner continued, explaining that “somebody from that partnership jumped out of the deal, breaking the building block of the relationship.” He expressed hope that LeBron and Drake will continue to stay cordial in order to limit unnecessary damage.
