You know the internet loves a soft launch, but sometimes the hard hits are even harder. Fans started whispering after a subtle change… and let’s just say, this quiet move speaks volumes. When it comes to loyalty, tattoos often say it all—but Drake may have just sent a message to LeBron James that’s impossible to ignore.

Unfollow? Nah, Drake got fed up
Drake has officially replaced the ink that once honored none other than LeBron James, replacing the iconic “Irish 23” tattoo—a tribute to Bron’s high school days. Now, he’s replaced it with something new: a nod to fellow Canadian and NBA champion Shai Gilgeous-Alexander . The change comes after LeBron apparently co-signed Kendrick Lamar, who delivered that viral knockout track “Not Like Us” aimed directly at the drizzle. While Drake, his alleged lettering swapped out to “ininternop.” And the internet has been watching ever since.
Still, LeBron doesn’t seem too pressured. The four-time NBA champion was spotted in Puerto Rico at Friday night ‘s Bad Bunny concert . With NBA offseason rumors swirling and his future with the Lakers in question , it’s safe to say King James has his hands full. But let’s be real—when a tattoo is covered, the message feels permanent… even if the friendship isn’t.
Social media is shaken
Social media is definitely looking sideways after fans pointed out that Drake’s iconic LeBron James tattoo had been covered up and replaced. The shade room’s Instagram comments instantly lit up, with fans expressing shock, while others seemed to mock him for being in their feelings.
Instagram user @Vltie said: “ Isn’t this weird for you guys or am I tripping? ”
Instagram user @ Iam.Chinared joked, “ Aubrey has been in her soft era for 10 years… this just added up 😭”
While Instagram user @Yungara wrote, ““ Okay this is a crazy 😭 covered a man with another man.”
Instagram user @Hey_mrmiles wrote: “ He is in [his] Era of Healing 😂”
Meanwhile, Instagram user @therealjimmiimontana commented, “ It’s just emotions.. coming out.. heartache and sadness.. lost in the cangggggg 😂😭👽🤦🏾♂️✨”
Then Instagram user @ Latasha_nicole312 wrote, ““ Lord, Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease just take your child away. That’s the only thing that will make sense! 😫🤦🏾♀️”
Finally, Instagram user @Rdsharpie added: “ This guy acts like a jaded ex 😂”
Surprise! Drake Hooks Up with Lauryn Hill
Before Drizzy’s new Tat was revealed, he went viral on social media after bringing up Lauryn Hill at London’s Wireless Festival. The legendary singer stunned the audience with a performance of two of her classic hits. Lauryn sang “Ex-Factor,” which later transitioned into Drake’s “Nice for What,” sampling his iconic track. It was a full-circle moment that had fans screaming, crying, and praising the musical duo. One person even called it absolutely “insane” to witness live. Now that’s how you put on a show!
