Ross, who described himself as a longtime fan of LeBron, voiced disappointment and called the NBA player a “piece of s**t.” He noted that LeBron had known Drake for years and even met his children, making it, in Ross’s view, a betrayal for James to support a track that includes allegations against the Canadian rapper.
“This is not my beef,” Ross said, “but I’m very close with Drake. It does affect how I see LeBron. You guys can call me parasocial, but how could you respect someone with no loyalty to someone they’ve known for 15 years?”
Ross’s remarks quickly spread across social media, prompting a wave of reactions on platform X. Some users mocked Ross for appearing to value his connection to Drake over his relationship with LeBron James and his son Bronny. Others suggested Ross was overstepping by inserting himself into a dispute he wasn’t directly involved in.
The incident comes days after Ross drew backlash for calling the WNBA a “tax write-off” and claiming it generates “no revenue,” further fueling criticism of his outspoken persona.
