The friendship between Drake and LeBron James dates back so far that they used to text each other on BlackBerry Messenger. “Tonight is your night,” Drake encouraged James before a 2011 game, per Yahoo! Sports. According to James, his relationship with the “Worst Behavior” rapper transcended celebrity status, as they have constantly supported each other. “What we have is real family,” he told Yahoo. “It’s not just because we are successful at what we do. We really care about one another on a day-to-day basis.”
Drake has continued to show love to his friend over the years. In 2011, he attended the premiere party for the NBA forward’s animated series, “The LeBrons.” The rapper also made sure to be on hand to celebrate LBJ’s 2013 championship with the Miami Heat. The OVO honcho has also shown support for James’ family, attending Bronny James’ high school basketball game.
James has appreciated the camaraderie. The Los Angeles Lakers star spoke about their friendship on a 2018 episode of HBO’s “The Shop” that featured Drake as a guest. “We’ve grown closer and closer every year, and I’m proud of who he is today,” James said then, per The Orange County Register. “Not only as an artist, not only as a son but as a father,” he added, as it had been revealed at the time that Drake had a son out of wedlock. As the years ticked by, the dynamic of Drake and James’ relationship continued to evolve.
