Overview
- Thompson said on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay on July 1 that he is "trying" to bring Drake and LeBron back together and that he would love to help.
- He described Drake as "family," said he has known him since age 17, recalled Drake attending his mother's funeral, and said he spoke with Drake recently.
- News coverage ties the distance between the two stars to Drake's long feud with Kendrick Lamar and to LeBron's visible support for Kendrick at events and when listening to diss tracks.
- Neither LeBron nor Drake has issued a clear public explanation of their current relationship, though LeBron told Complex last year there is "always love."
- Thompson highlighted close ties among Toronto artists such as The Weeknd and PARTYNEXTDOOR, and his involvement could calm fan speculation but no formal reunion has been reported.
