Drake has caused a stir after changing the lyrics to his hit song “Non-Stop” during the first stop of his “The Anita Max Wynn Tour” in Perth, Australia. Originally, the lyrics read, “How I go from 6 to 23 like I'm LeBron?” but during the performance, Drake modified them, removing any reference to LeBron James. This change has sparked speculation about a growing rift between the two stars.

Drake and LeBron James were once close friends, often showing mutual admiration for one another in public. However, recent events suggest tension between them. The lyric change follows a period of heightened animosity, particularly after LeBron's support for Kendrick Lamar during his ongoing feud with Drake. LeBron attended Lamar’s Juneteenth concert and was seen enthusiastically rapping to Lamar’s diss track, “Not Like Us,” which took aim at Drake.
In response to this, Drake unfollowed LeBron on Instagram and later called him out in his song “Fighting Irish.” Now, the alteration of the “Non-Stop” lyrics further fuels speculation that the two may have fallen out. Social media reactions have been swift, with many fans pointing out the irony of Drake, who has a tattoo of LeBron, dissing him in a live performance. Some criticized the move as “cringe” and “meaningless,” arguing that changing the lyrics won’t have any real impact.
Despite the backlash, neither Drake nor LeBron has publicly commented on the situation. While the rap world reacts, LeBron seems focused on his basketball career and his team, the Los Angeles Lakers, who recently made headlines by acquiring Luka Dončić.
