LeBron James made a subtle hint in his ongoing feud with former friend Drake. The Los Angeles Lakers star made a cameo in Tyler, The Creator's latest music video "Stop Playing With Me" off of Tyler's new album, Don't Tap The Glass, which was released on Monday (July 21).
In addition to LeBron's cameo, Tyler also enlists two artists, rappers (and brothers) Malice and Pusha T — known collectively as Clipse in the music video. While LeBron has not said anything about there being tension with Drizzy, Pusha has been very open over the years about his dislike of the Canadian rapper.
The song itself doesn't mention Drake, but just that Tyler is not going to let anyone mess with him.
The two-time Grammy winner raps, "F*** you and your mom, stop playing with me / F*** you and your dreams, stop playing with me."

LeBron's cameo follows Drake's frustration with friends who decided to support Kendrick Lamar at his Juneteenth “Pop Out and Show” concert last year.
"I saw bro in the Pop Out with them, but been d***riding gang since ‘Headlines,’” Drake raps, referring to Kendrick's show and his 2011 hit, "Headlines."
To be fair, DeMar DeRozan and The Weekend were also in attendance at the Pop Out last year, so the line most likely is in reference to not only LeBron but two people he has had a close relationship to over the years.
Earlier this month, Drake covered up a tattoo of LeBron's St. Vincent-St. Mary High School jersey with a tattoo of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's jersey, which further fueled rumors between the two.
