The internet has been in overdrive trying to decode the ever-shifting dynamics between LeBron James and Drake, once the NBA’s most high-profile bromance. And just when it seemed like King James had firmly taken Kendrick Lamar’s side in the beef, a new twist has emerged: a fan who filmed LeBron vibing to Kendrick’s “Not Like Us” now claims LeBron was also dancing and singing along to Drake’s songs shortly after.
Yesterday’s headlines were driven by a video clip, showing LeBron and his wife, Savannah, vibing to Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us’, at a beachside restaurant in Cannes.
The assumption? LeBron dipped as soon as he heard the beat drop. But now that story’s being challenged by sources who claim the Lakers star was not only enjoying himself during Kendrick’s track, he was also seen dancing to Drake songs too.
The fan who originally recorded LeBron at the party said the four-time NBA champion stayed well after “Not Like Us” was played and was later “singing along to Drake’s ‘Nokia.’”
Whether it was vibes or irony, it’s clear Bron wasn’t making some public political statement against Drake, he was just having fun. Another viral clip even shows LeBron dancing to “God’s Plan” last year.

Meanwhile, respected outlets confirmed that LeBron was “turning up” and “dancing” during Kendrick’s diss track without ever mentioning a dramatic exit once Drake’s music came on. No one in attendance reported a walkout. No other outlet confirmed the claim.
This new angle reframes the narrative. Maybe LeBron wasn’t choosing sides in the Kendrick vs. Drake beef. Maybe he was just being… human. A superstar letting loose in France, enjoying two songs from two of hip-hop’s biggest titans. Imagine that.
This calls into question the larger assumptions about LeBron’s relationship with Drake. Fans have taken things personally, especially after Drake tweaked lyrics in “Nonstop” to diss LeBron and later replaced his LeBron tattoo with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s jersey. Combined with LeBron being seen vibing to “Not Like Us,” fans painted a picture of betrayal.
But this latest update? It softens that image. If LeBron truly danced to Drake’s “Nokia” at the same event, it suggests the beef, at least on Bron’s end, isn’t as icy as it seems.
So while the media may love pitting Drake and LeBron against each other for clicks, reality might be far less dramatic. LeBron James may just be a dude with great taste, vibing to both sides, sipping champagne in Cannes, and letting the music play.
