"R u dumb": LeBron James' friend turned rival Drake flexes "aura" with Steph Curry moment as he takes swipe at critics

Rapper, singer, and producer Drake took some time out to watch two-time MVP Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors take on the Toronto Raptors on Monday night. Drake has been in the headlines following a very public beef with rapper Kendrick Lamar, and the dispute has led to tension between him and some NBA players.

LeBron James attended a Kendrick Lamar pop-up concert last year and has been seen dancing to the rapper's track "Not Like Us," which allegedly calls out Drake. James' support for Kendrick means the relationship between him and Drake, who were once close friends, has likely turned around.

On Monday, Drake, also known as Champagne Papi, shared an image of him alongside Warriors superstar Steph Curry on his Instagram story. The two can be seen chatting on the sidelines at Scotiabank Arena.

The rivalry between Drake and LeBron James jumped to the next level after an alleged leaked text message from the rapper referencing the NBA star. The message, which has been circulating online, has Drake reportedly mentioning the Los Angeles Lakers player by name and saying the following:

"Me and Universal is like if Nike was funding a campaign about LeBron cheating on his wife," the alleged conversation read.

With it appearing as if LeBron James has sided with Los Angeles rapper Lamar in the feud, the friendship between James and Drake may have hit a rough patch.

Steph Curry & co. visited Ontario to play the Toronto Raptors on Monday. Prior to the game, Curry was seen greeting Drake on the sidelines and sharing a few words with the famous musician.

Drake's feud with rapper Kendrick Lamar has created some friction with certain NBA players. Drake was seen mouthing some words to forward DeMar DeRozan when the Sacramento Kings visited Toronto. DeRozan made a cameo appearance in Lamar's "Not Like Us" video.

Steph Curry remains a close friend of Drake's and has stood by his corner. The 36-year-old defended Drake in an interview with GQ in August, making the following statement:

"I’m a big Drake guy. I’ve been for a long time. I think obviously you know what it is for the rap industry to have that, but I still rock with Drake. Absolutely. Absolutely."

Following the Warriors defeat to the Raptors, Curry made sure to acknowledge Drake once more before leaving the arena.
