Drake’s ‘Iceman’ Takes Aim at LeBron James, Gives Nod to Stephen Curry

The lyrics revive a rift that traces to LeBron’s visible support for Kendrick Lamar at a 2024 Los Angeles concert.

Overview

  • Drake released three new albums titled Iceman, Maid of Honour, and Habiti, with several lines that reference NBA stars.
  • On Iceman’s “Make Them Remember,” he raps about a former friend “switching teams up” and mentions “23,” which outlets read as a shot at LeBron James.
  • Another Iceman track, “2 Hard 4 The Radio,” praises Stephen Curry with lines about Davidson College and his No. 30 jersey.
  • Ayesha Curry boosted the rollout by sharing Drake’s “ICE MAN MAY 15” post and posting a congratulatory Instagram story.
  • LeBron has not offered a new response, and his last public comment said he wishes Drake the best, after a perceived break that followed his 2024 appearance at Kendrick Lamar’s Pop Out and Drake later unfollowing him on Instagram.
