Canadian rapper Drake, legally known as Aubrey Drake Graham, continues his legal battle with Universal Music Group, even mentioning LeBron James. On Tuesday, a leaked screenshot of the rapper’s conversations allegedly shows his mention of the LA Lakers star.
A claimed screenshot from Chris Blake’s Instagram account was circulated on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter). This screenshot featured a conversation with the “God’s Plan” rapper, in which the four-time Grammy winner addressed his legal issues with UMG.
“Me and Universal is like if Nike was funding a campaign about Lebron cheating on his wife,” the alleged screenshot read.
“Everybody before me that tried the label was too eccentric so they wrote them off as crazy and they never had to pay for their sins and mistakes.”

On Nov. 25, Drake filed a petition alleging that UMG and Spotify inflated the streams of Kendrick Lamar’s diss track about him, “Not Like Us.” Graham claims that the companies violated the “RICO Act” by using illegal schemes. UMG deflected the allegations in a statement released on the same day.
The following day, the rapper behind the hit song “Hotline Bling” filed another petition. He alleged that a “pay-to-play” system between iHeartRadio and UMG was defamatory.
In response to the initial petition, Spotify published opposing documents on Dec. 20 refuting claims of “any arrangement” between them and UMG.
This stemmed from his beef with rapper Kendrick Lamar. The two artists went back and forth in 2024, releasing diss tracks about each other.

“Teams adapt during the game, and maybe we don’t adapt enough. But it is definitely something that I’m going work on predicting the adjustment of the defence because right now, for sure, we need to have more than one plane.” Wembanyama said.
