You recognize the web loves a soft launch, but sometimes the un-launch hits even harder. Fans began whispering after one subtle change… and let’s just say, this quiet move speaks loud. Relating to loyalty, tattoos normally say all of it — but Drake might’ve just sent a message to LeBron James that’s unattainable to disregard.

Unfollow? Nah, Drake Went Full Un-Ink
Drake has officially switched up the ink that when honored none apart from LeBron James, replacing the enduring “Irish 23” tattoo — a tribute to Bron’s highschool days. Now, he has replaced it with something recent: a nod to fellow Canadian and NBA champ, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The change comes after LeBron seemingly co-signed Kendrick Lamar, who delivered that viral knockout track ‘Not Like Us’ aimed straight at Drizzy. While Drale hasn’t spoken on it directly, fans clocked the tattoo change and caught his alleged, slick lyric swap on ‘Nonstop.’ And, the web has been side-eyeing ever since.
Still, LeBron doesn’t seem too pressed. The four-time NBA champ was spotted in Puerto Rico on Friday night, appearing unbothered at a Bad Bunny concert. With NBA offseason rumors swirling and his future with the Lakers in query, it’s secure to say King James has his hands full. But let’s be real — when a tattoo gets covered, the message appears everlasting… even when the friendship isn’t.
Social Media Is Shook
One Instagram user @vltie said, “is that this not weird to y’all or am i trippin?“
Instagram user @iam.chinared joked, “Aubrey been in his soft era for 10 years now… this just added to it 😭”

Finally, Instagram user @rdsharpie added, “This dude acts like a jaded Ex 😂”
Surprise! Drake Links With Lauryn Hill
Prior to Drizzy’s recent tat unveiling, he went viral on social media after bringing out Lauryn Hill at London’s Wireless Festival. The legendary songstress surprised 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 her 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 place on a show!
