Adin Ross has come to Drake’s defense and blasted LeBron James after footage surfaced earlier this week of the Los Angeles Lakers superstar in France dancing and singing along to Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” diss.
Ross went after King James during a Tuesday (July 22) livestream for crossing Drake, whom the streamer is tight with, and went as far as labeling him a “piece of s—t human.”
“As I love LeBron my whole life, you can just see what a piece of s–t human he is,” Ross spewed. “Imagine if your best friend for 15 years — and he’s met his actual children — and you’re rapping to a song about him being a pedophile. It’s sad.”
He continued: “This is not my beef, but I’m very close with Drake and it’s just sad. You guys can call me parasocial, but it does affect the way that I like LeBron. How can you respect someone that has no loyalty with someone he has known for 15 years? … Y’all know it’s wrong. Y’all know it’s whack.”
Ross also has a relationship with LeBron’s son, Bronny Jr., who also plays for the Lakers, but they haven’t been spotted together in recent months.
Billboard has reached out to James’ reps for comment on Ross.
Drake appeared to address James switching sides on him in January with the Conductor Williams-produced “Fighting Irish Freestyle,” which never hit streaming. The 6 God was also spotted with his James tattoo covered up by ink featuring NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. He also possibly took another shot at LeBron on his “What Did I Miss?” single earlier in July for attending Kendrick Lamar’s Pop Out concert. “I saw bro went to Pop Out with them, but been d—k riding gang since ‘Headlines,’” he raps.
Drake is gearing up for the second episode of Iceman, which appears to be slated for Thursday night (July 24) at 9 p.m. ET.
