Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James has been involved in a high profile beef for a minute now. No, not with any other player in the league (that we know of), but of course, it’s with Drake. His latest non-basketball appearance adds fuel to that fire, showing up in Tyler The Creator’s music video for his song “STOP PLAYING WITH ME”.

Also making an appearance are Clipse members Pusha
T and Malice, fresh off of dropping an incredible album, and also people who have beef with Drake. LeBron’s appearance in this is hilarious because Drake started firing verbal shots once again on his song “What Did I Miss”, when he says this line:
“I saw bro in the Pop Out with them but been d*ckriding gang since ‘Headlines’”
Of course, referencing when LeBron was at the Pop Out, Kendrick Lamar’s massive concert and tour after no-diffing Drake in their beef.

Now, it seems as if Drake and LeBron have fallen out, and this is another shot across the pond from James. It is, however, hilarious that both LeBron and Maverick Carter appear in the music video. Carter, obviously known as the co-founder of LRMR Ventures, which he co-founded with LeBron.
All of this is very funny, but it also makes me re-think Tyler’s verse on “POV”, a song off Clipse’s album “Let God Sort ‘Em Out”. When he talks about outgrowing his heroes, I assumed he was talking about Kanye West (he still might be). But with Clipse and LeBron in the music video this is 100% a shot at Drake and might be who he’s talking about in the video.
The biggest question we all have is this: when is the LeDisstrack dropping?
