“What a piece of sh*t human” - Adin Ross slams LeBron James for dancing to Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us’

A livestream by Adin Ross has caught people's attention after he reacted to LeBron James dancing to Kendrick Lamar's song Not Like Us. The video, which came from an event in France, showed James and his wife grooving to the song—this sparked online talk because of the ongoing fight between Lamar and Drake.

Adin Ross, an American internet personality, shared his thoughts during a July 22, 2025, stream. He talked about what it meant for James to dance to a song with clear jabs at Drake. Ross didn't hold back and said he felt let down because James and Drake have been friends for a long time. During his stream, Ross asked if James was being a good friend and what his choice to dance to the song meant. Adin Ross said,

"You know what's crazy about this, chat? You know, as I love LeBron my whole life, it's like, you just see how much of a piece of s**t human he is, bro. Like, guys, imagine your best friend for like 15 years, and he's met his actual children, like, you know what I'm trying to say? He's met his actual children, and you're rapping to a song about him being a pedophile. Like, it's sad."

The events are happening against the backdrop of a broader musical clash between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. In the last one year, these artists have put out several diss tracks targeting each other. James, who has connections to both musicians, hadn't spoken about the issue until the recent viral video surfaced.

Adin Ross made it clear his response wasn't due to bad blood with LeBron, but because of his tight bond with Drake. He spoke straight to his audience, saying he used to look up to LeBron, but seeing him dance to a song that took shots at an old pal left him feeling let down. Ross also brought up how people make sense of celebrity interactions and what these moments tell us about public and private loyalties.

LeBron James and Drake remain silent amid ongoing speculation and fan reactions

LeBron James hasn't said anything about Adin Ross's comments or the backlash online after the video came out. Drake, for his part, has kept quiet about James showing up at the Cannes event and joining in on the Lamar track. People have pointed out that James and Drake were once thought to be close friends. Their friendship has been in the spotlight through interviews, events, and team-ups over time. But since the Lamar–Drake lyrical beef heated up, we've seen less of their friendship in public.

In June 2025, Drake dropped What Did I Miss, a song that caught the attention of some listeners. They thought it might be hinting at James without naming names. Fans picked up on when it came out and what it was about, thinking it could have something to do with how things were changing between these two celebrities.
