"Drake ain’t unfollow Bronny" - NBA fans react to Bronny James picking Drake over Kendrick Lamar amid LeBron James’ silent tension with rapper

Bronny James participated in a "This or That" video trend with his fellow South Bay Lakers teammates. One of the questions involved choosing between rappers Drake and Kendrick Lamar. Bronny surprisingly picked Drake over Kendrick despite the rapper having some sort of beef with his father, LeBron James.

The tension between LeBron and Drake seemingly began when the King showed love toward Kendrick Lamar's diss track about the Canadian rapper. Once upon a time, Drake and LeBron were close. However, the rapper cut ties with the basketball star and his family after the LA Lakers forward sided with his archnemesis.

Fans on social media reacted to Bronny James picking Drake over Kendrick Lamar. While the video of the South Bay Lakers squad featured a plethora of questions, it was Bronny's choice between the two rappers that caught the attention of many.

Here's what some fans said on X, formerly Twitter.

"Drake ain’t unfollow Bronny."

"Drake brought this dude out after his health issues. Ain't no way it isn't Drizzy."

Here are other reactions on X.

"I wonder if bronny cut off too. He wasn't at the gangster reunion," one humorously said.

"How the son got more pride and loyalty than his own daddy," one questioned.

"the sad thing is drake was close with bronny and bronny saw him as an uncle type . bron selfish and only thought about himself THIS MAN TOOK UR SON TO HIS CONCERT AFTER HIS HEART FAILURE @KingJames ur pathetic man," one called out.

"We all know LeBron would say Drake if he wasn’t tripling down on some whole other BS! 😂🏌🏼," one tweeted.

Drake surprises fans with Bronny James appearance in 2023

In the summer of 2023, Bronny James had a cardiac arrest. This sidelined the young James from participating in any basketball activities with the USC Trojans. As the days went by, the rapper Drake surprised his fans at the Crypto.com Arena with a guest appearance from Bronny and LeBron James.

It was a heartwarming moment considering how Bronny went through tough times during that period. Given the rapper's sweet gesture, it's no wonder the young James picked Drake over Kendrick Lamar in his recent "This or That" video with the South Bay Lakers.

As of the moment, Drake has only unfollowed LeBron James on social media. The rapper seems to still be on good terms with LeBron's eldest son as they're still following each other on Instagram.
