'How I go from 6 to 23 but not LeBron, man,' he raps on the tweaked version. The original featured on 2018's Scorpion had Drake rhyme, 'How I go from 6 to 23 like I'm LeBron?'
Even James' former teammate and current ESPN broadcaster Richard Jefferson had some fun with Drake's tweak on X, sharing a gif in response.
Drizzy previously called out those who switched sides on him during the Kendrick Lamar battle at the top of 2025 on his 'Fighting Irish' freestyle, which was uploaded to Conductor Williams' YouTube page and quickly taken down.
'The world fell in love with the gimmicks, even my brothers got tickets, seemed like they loved every minute/ Just know the s–t is personal to us and wasn't just business/ Analyzing behavioral patterns is somewhat suspicious,' he raps on the track.
James was among those in attendance at Kendrick Lamar's Pop Out concert on Juneteenth in L.A. last year, rapping along to Drake diss tracks such as 'Euphoria' and 'Not Like Us.' The Fighting Irish also happen to be the mascot for James' St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, which he attended in Ohio during the early 2000s.
LeBron has yet to address any of the speculation surrounding his relationship with Drake and whether that's changed in the recent months since the Kendrick Lamar feud.

Athletics' Brent Rooker shuts down fan after being called out for feeding baby during MLB Home Run Derby
Athletics' slugger Brent Rooker took aim at a fan on social media after the heckler called him out for giving his child a bottle during Monday night's All-Star Home Run Derby. Rooker, 30, was captured on ESPN's broadcast feeding his 11-month-old daughter, Blake Eloise, a bottle while sitting near the dugout. Rooker hit 17 homers, but was eliminated in the first round. After the event, Rooker took to social media to congratulate Seattle Mariners' Cal Raleigh, who won his first All-Star Home Run Derby. "What a blast! It was an honor to compete against those guys and fulfill a childhood dream," he wrote in a post on X. "Congrats to Cal and everyone else who made it a great night! Still hard to believe I get opportunities to do things like this." But not everyone was feeling the love. In response to his post, one person on X criticized the MLB player for jumping into dad-mode during the derby. "Hey Rooker… did you really need to feed your baby on camera? Sometimes people just want to see you play," the person wrote. Rooker clapped back, writing, "Yes, it was necessary to feed my 11 month old child her night time bottle at like 9:00 pm. Thank you for asking." Fans on social media overwhelmingly agreed with Rooker. "Personally, I think one of the best things is seeing people be loving parents who are there for their kids as much as possible. That's the ultimate home run," one person wrote. "17 home runs and feeding your kid… thats Boss status," another added. "I'm sure with a ballplayer's schedule, he doesn't get to give his child a bottle all that often… maybe it's something he doesn't want to miss out on if he doesn't have to, or maybe he wanted to give his wife a break. Good on him for being a dad," a separate post read. Rooker capped his All-Star performance with a three-run homer in the seventh inning of Tuesday's game, helping the American League rally from a 6–0 deficit. He also went 2-for-3 in the historic swing-off tiebreaker, though the National League ultimately edged out the AL, 7–6.

Drake Breaks His Tie With Rihanna With A New Bestseller
Drake debuts at No. 1 on Billboard's Digital Song Sales chart with "What Did I Miss?", his fifteenth ... More leader, and as it arrives, he breaks his tie with Rihanna. NEW YORK, NY - AUGUST 28: Singer Rihanna (L) and rapper Drake pose onstage during the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards at Madison Square Garden on August 28, 2016 in New York City. (Photo by Kevin Mazur/WireImage) In America, hip-hop is not just the most consumed genre of music, it's also the most streamed. The biggest names in rap typically perform best on platforms like Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, iHeartRadio, and others, but several major figures in the genre have proven they can sell massive quantities of albums and singles while also dominating the streaming rankings. Drake is one such star, and he demonstrates his commercial prowess once more with his brand new song "What Did I Miss?" Drake's "What Would I Do?" Debuts at No. 1 "What Did I Miss?" debuts at No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart, where the track enters in the highest rung with just under 6,000 pure purchases. It claims the top spot by only a few dozen sales, pushing "Ordinary" by Alex Warren down from the summit the Drake tune arrives. Fifteenth Digital Chart-Topper for Drake With a new winner to his credit, Drake earns his milestone fifteenth champion on Billboard's ranking of the bestselling tracks in the United States. "What Did I Miss?" pushes him ahead of Rihanna, with whom he was previously tied, as both had scored 14 leaders. The two superstars have collaborated numerous times throughout their careers, but now Drake surpasses her — at least for the moment. Taylor Swift Still Leads Taylor Swift continues to dominate with 29 No. 1s on the Digital Song Sales chart. That's as many ruling smashes as both Drake and Rihanna combined. Nicki Minaj holds onto second place with 17 wins. A Mix of One-Week Hits and Long-Running Smashes Most of Drake's No. 1s on the Digital Song Sales chart led for just one frame, though a few have managed to control the tally for long stretches – even months. "God's Plan" ranks as the rapper's longest-running leader, with eight frames at No. 1. "In My Feelings," which was released the same year, dominated for half a dozen weeks. Throughout his time in the spotlight, Drake has sent 159 tracks to the Digital Song Sales chart. Of those, 62 have broken into the top 10. "What Did I Miss?" Rules Eight Billboard Charts "What Did I Miss?" opens at No. 1 on eight different Billboard charts this week. Three of those lists are focused exclusively on sales, while another three measure only streaming activity. The track also conquers both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs rankings simultaneously, though it stalls in the runner-up spot on the Hot 100.
