Drake Leaks Apparent LeBron Diss on 9th Album Ahead of Friday Release
3 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 14
An apparent Drake track leaked overnight on social media appears to target LeBron James, with lyrics accusing the NBA star of "switching teams" and questioning his loyalty.
The reported song, rumored to be titled "1AM in Albany," is tied to Drake's upcoming album "Iceman," his ninth studio release, due Friday and his first solo album since 2023's "For All The Dogs."
The apparent jab points to James' public support for Kendrick Lamar during Drake's 2024 rap feud with Lamar, a break from a friendship that had previously seen the two appear together at concerts and NBA games.
One lyric references "23 and me" in a play on 23andMe while invoking James' No. 23, suggesting the fallout now extends beyond Drake's Lamar feud as "Iceman" arrives.
