Kevin Durant's timing of the post containing the basement's picture was a bit off, as the ongoing rift between Drake and LeBron James is in full swing. The post has put him at the center of controversy. His clap back to the fan is being seen as an attempt to clarify his stand on the Drake-James beef.
What led to Drake-LeBron James rift, and where are things now
LeBron James and Drake have been friends for years, according to Marca's report.
According to this report, things went south when LeBron James was spotted vibing and singing along to Kendrick Lamar's track, "Not Like Us" at K.Dot's Pop Out concert.
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.
It was seen as LeBron picking a side and drifting away from Drake, who was once his good friend and great fan. 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. Drake's track goes like this:
"Last time I looked to my right, you n**s was standing beside me…
"I saw bro in the Pop Out with them but been dckriding gang since 'Headlines.'"
Amidst all these developments, Durant's post is being seen as fuel to the fire. Though Durant has not spoken clearly on the matter, his reply to the fan indicates he wants his post not to be taken in connection with the Drake-James rift.

Pasta with Strawberries? Iga Swiatek Reveals Her Unusual Take On Wimbledon Snack
Last Updated: Swiatek shared her love for pasta with strawberries and yogurt, claiming Polish strawberries are better than British ones, sparking playful controversy. Iga Swiatek cruised past Danielle Collins in their third-round match on Centre Court Saturday, showing few signs of struggle on the grass. But it wasn't her dominant performance that stirred conversation — it was her post-match revelation about one of her favorite meals. Pasta with strawberries 🍓 @iga_swiatek 's favourite meal is an interesting one 😂 #Wimbledon — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 5, 2025 A Wimbledon Classic — With a Twist Each year, the All England Club estimates that more than 35 tons of strawberries — typically served with cream — are consumed during the tournament. The beloved treat is such a symbol of Wimbledon that strawberry-themed merchandise can be found throughout the grounds. Swiatek, however, introduced an unexpected variation during her on-court interview: 'You should try it, guys — pasta, strawberries, a little bit of yogurt." Later, she doubled down by posting a photo on Instagram of a bowl containing exactly that. Iga Swiatek shares a photo of her favorite meal, pasta and Lord. 😭😭😭😭 — The Tennis Letter (@TheTennisLetter) July 5, 2025 The dish, known in Polish as makaron z truskawkami, literally translates to 'pasta with strawberries." It's a sweet summertime staple in Poland, typically made with noodles topped with blended or mashed strawberries, sugar, and a creamy ingredient like sour cream, heavy cream, or — in Swiatek's case — yogurt. 'Why is it such a big thing? Everybody should eat that," said Swiatek with a grin after her win over Collins. 'I think in summer, kids are eating it a lot. I don't know. It's just a perfect mix of tastes." Polish Strawberries > British Strawberries? Asked whether Poland or England has better strawberries, Swiatek didn't hesitate. 'Honestly, I think Poland," she said. 'Because we have better climate for strawberries, right?" Then, smiling again, she added: 'Now Wimbledon is probably going to ban me from answering these questions."

Saraya admits to using cocaine during WWE run and lying about failed drug test
Saraya (Image Source: Getty) In a surprising and honest confession, AEW star Saraya (formerly known as Paige in WWE) disclosed during a conversation with Denise Salcedo that she had been doing cocaine while still in WWE and that when she failed a drug test, she and a friend lied to WWE officials about it. The admission stemmed from a casual yet revealing session of "Never Have I Ever" in which Saraya was asked about one of the more infamous segments of her wrestling career with her interviewer, Denise Salcedo. The British-born wrestler, now a trailblazer of WWE's women's division, then revealed how she tried to hide the earlier drug use and address her negative image. It's one of the very few occasions Saraya has addressed this incident in such straightforward terms, but it puts a new perspective on her issues while she was in WWE. Saraya opens up in raw and unfiltered moment Saraya had a very blunt and to the point explanation about it when talking to Salcedo in the light-hearted game. When the test results came back, she remembered being in a tough spot and tried to make up an excuse to not have to face the music. 'Yeah, I did it publicly… talking about my drugs and stuff like that, remember that? Yeah, I got fing— I got publicly outed for popping another drug test and I was like, uh… it was a dental surgery… and it wasn't… I did cocaine, but… yeah, I f***ed up, I lied, but it's okay.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Concentrated Siberian Ginseng Extract 2oz Superior Ginseng Undo You can hear the regret in her words, but also a sense of acceptance and perhaps even realization that this period of her life is behind her. The mention of 'dental surgery' relates to a pretense she had previously offered publicly to explain the failed test, now just a cover story that she admits had been made up. From controversy to comeback There had been peaks and valleys in Saraya's career. At the age of 21, she was the youngest Divas Champion in WWE history and a key player in the 'Women's Evolution' era of the company. But a slew of injuries, personal life controversies, and addiction struggles would overshadow her run with the brand. With the termination of her WWE contract, she can return to wrestling with All Elite Wrestling (AEW), reviving her name and fan base after all these years. That admission is the first time she has acknowledged doing something wrong. After her statement, it is as if a line has been drawn in the sand, and it is a big deal for her to own up to any fault.
