Video: Drake Appears To Shade Lakers' LeBron James During Concert in Australia

Drake upped the ante on his apparent feud with Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James during a performance Tuesday in Perth, Australia.

He performed his 2018 song Nonstop, which includes the lyric, "How I go from 6 to 23 like I'm LeBron?" However, Drake slightly changed the line to, "How I go from 6 to 23, but not LeBron, man."

While Drake and LeBron were once close friends, Drake released a freestyle entitled Fighting Irish last month in which he took a clear shot at the four-time NBA champion, NBA MVP and NBA Finals MVP.

As part of Fighting Irish, Drake mentioned trading watches, which is something he and James are known to have done:

Drake also seemed to suggest in Fighting Irish that LeBron was responsible for the downfall of their friendship:

While Drake has not publicly confirmed that Fighting Irish is about James, the name of the freestyle essentially removes all doubt. Prior to the Cleveland Cavaliers making him the No. 1 overall pick in the 2003 NBA draft, LeBron played his high school basketball at St. Vincent-St. Mary in Akron, Ohio, and the team's nickname is the Fighting Irish.

Drake is embroiled in one of the rap world's biggest beefs in recent memory with Kendrick Lamar, who wrote the diss track Not Like Us about Drake.

When Lamar performed the song at his Pop Out concert at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, back in June, James was in attendance along with fellow NBA stars DeMar DeRozan and Russell Westbrook.

Although it has not been confirmed, LeBron being present for Lamar's clear and obvious affront to Drake may have changed the relationship between James and Drake.

Whatever the reason for their falling out, Drake is not hiding the fact that he no longer views the NBA's all-time scoring leader in a positive light.
