Drake quietly dissed LeBron James at London’s Wireless Festival by covering up his LeBron tribute tattoo with a nod to another baller, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and didn’t say a single word about it.
The Canadian rapper is clearly still salty over LeBron vibing out at Kendrick Lamar’s “Pop Out” concert during their ugly rap beef and he let his ink do the talking.
Drake swapped out his old LeBron tattoo with an image of Shai’s Oklahoma City Thunder jersey on the heels of Shai leading OKC to their first NBA title.
This move wasn’t random. Drake already threw lyrical darts at LeBron earlier this year on “Fighting Irish” and again on “What Did I Miss?”
Fans who are watching Drake’s set at Wireless didn’t miss the tattoo swap either. Social media lit up once folks noticed the LeBron ink had vanished.
Interestingly, the biggest moment of the night wasn’t the tattoo drama. It was when Lauryn Hill popped out for a surprise set.
She hit the stage with her classic “Ex-Factor” before it morphed into Drake’s “Nice For What,” which samples her track.
Drake is running the Wireless Festival stage for three straight nights, July 11 through 13, and switching up the setlist for each performance.
