Anthony Edwards is a true star on and off the court, and when he got the chance to participate in a group interview with NBA legends Jalen Rose and Kevin Durant at Michael Rubin’s Fanatics Fest, he knew it would be an unforgettable experience.
While discussing their historic run for the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, the topic of music came up. When Rose asked Edwards what was on the playlist over the summer, he hilariously revealed that he was with Durant the whole time and all the 6-foot-4 star wanted to listen to was Drake.
Although it’s common knowledge that Drake and KD are good friends and fans of each other, Durant couldn’t help but laugh when Edwards told the crowd what he’d been up to over the summer. Atlanta native Edwards is known for his passion for music, citing Georgia rappers like Lil Baby, Future, Gunna and his brother bdifferent as some of his favorite artists.
Ironically, Drake and his team have apparently decided who they’re still cool with on Team USA after the big fight between him and Kendrick Lamar. Fans believe the Canadian-born rapper no longer likes LeBron James after he was spotted at “The Pop Out: Ken & Friends” and his wife Savannah James was photographed wearing a PgLang shirt a few weeks later.
During their gold medal match, Drake’s finsta account publicly expressed his support for Devin Booker, Jayson Tatum, KD and Stephen Curry. Interestingly, he did not post for James, even though he has a tattoo honoring the Akron-raised NBA megastar.
Meanwhile, James has recently been spotted publicly singing Drake songs like “Lord Knows” and others at various times. He even posted a photo of Drake’s NOCTA Air Force One sneaker with an infinity symbol on his Instagram story.
There’s no telling if there will be a falling out between the two, but history tells us that if the situation really bothers Drake, he’ll voice his opinion on one of his next songs.
