'How I go from 6 to 23 but not LeBron, man,' he raps on the tweaked version. The original featured on 2018's Scorpion had Drake rhyme, 'How I go from 6 to 23 like I'm LeBron?'
Even James' former teammate and current ESPN broadcaster Richard Jefferson had some fun with Drake's tweak on X, sharing a gif in response.
Drizzy previously called out those who switched sides on him during the Kendrick Lamar battle at the top of 2025 on his 'Fighting Irish' freestyle, which was uploaded to Conductor Williams' YouTube page and quickly taken down.
'The world fell in love with the gimmicks, even my brothers got tickets, seemed like they loved every minute/ Just know the s–t is personal to us and wasn't just business/ Analyzing behavioral patterns is somewhat suspicious,' he raps on the track.
James was among those in attendance at Kendrick Lamar's Pop Out concert on Juneteenth in L.A. last year, rapping along to Drake diss tracks such as 'Euphoria' and 'Not Like Us.' The Fighting Irish also happen to be the mascot for James' St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, which he attended in Ohio during the early 2000s.
LeBron has yet to address any of the speculation surrounding his relationship with Drake and whether that's changed in the recent months since the Kendrick Lamar feud.

Nick Saban daughter shuts down rumor of Alabama football great's return to coaching
Will Nick Saban return to coaching, or stay retired? According to his daughter, Kristen Saban, the Alabama football legend is staying retired. Ms. Saban wrote in a social media post/story to Instagram on Thursday: "He's not coming back to coaching, hate to break it to you. You had your time." Rumors about a return to coaching began when former Crimson Tide quarterback and current ESPN/ABC analyst Greg McElroy said Monday that "a very much in-the-know person" seemed to believe the seven-time national champion wasn't finished coaching. McElroy's comment and subsequent reaction spread across social media, various national sports media outlets, and was a topic at SEC media days in Atlanta. Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer, Georgia's Kirby Smart, Ole Miss' Lane Kiffin and LSU's Brian Kelly all commented on the rumor of Saban possibly returning. DeBoer said Wednesday: "He's one of the greatest to ever do it, so he's earned the right to do what he wants. I think the best part of what coach Saban is doing right now is, he's still involved in the game. He brings passion to it." Saban is set to enter his second year as an analyst for ESPN's College GameDay. While Saban himself hasn't addressed the rumor, someone who seems far more likely "in the know" than McElroy's source has now done so.

'IRL' was featured on Lizzo's recent rap mixtape MY FACE HURTS FROM SMILING, which she dropped on June 27 via Nice Life and Atlantic Records. During Lizzo's interview with Billboard about her latest project, she gushed about how the 'Nobody Gets Me' singer does get her. 'She's one of the only people that I can text at 3 in the morning when I'm crashing out. She'll just get this one dark-ass text and she's like, 'Oh my gosh. Are you OK?'' said Lizzo. 'But I really appreciate her, because she understands — and I think it's really hard for you to have someone in your life who actually f–ks with you and who's known you for a long time who also understand the world that you're in. I think that's what I cherish the most about her. She gets me.' Watch a clip of Lizzo and SZA's first live performance of 'IRL' below.
