Former LA Lakers guard Nick Young defended Drake after multiple fans threw shade at the artist. The Canadian rapper has shown signs of life with an unreleased song shared by streamer Kai Cenat. After his music war with Kendrick Lamar seemingly ended, the rapper is seemingly set to premiere a song with Lil Yachty.

During his latest stream, Kai Cenat played the song, having a positive reaction to the track.

Kai's reaction raised some eyebrows on social media, and some fans tried to bring down the song, saying it sounded like an old song from the artist and not that good at all.

Drake and Kendrick Lamar engaged in beef a couple of months ago after Lamar started attacking the Canadian and J Cole. After Cole responded and then backtracked, the war was between Drake and Kendrick.

"Drizzy" dropped a couple of songs that made some noise, but when Lamar replied, most of the fans sided with the Compton native, attacking his opponent and apparently, every project he drops after this beef.

While some NBA stars like LeBron James, James Harden, Russell Westbrook and DeMar DeRozan showed their support for Lamar, others didn't hesitate to say positive things about Drake and his music.

Drake superfan Stephen Curry is tired of listening to "Not Like Us"

Just like Nick Young, Stephen Curry had a telling message that might have shown who he was siding with regarding this rap beef. After Team USA beat Serbia with a commanding 105-79 win, the Golden State Warriors star wasn't happy to hear "Not Like Us," a Kendrick Lamar diss track aimed at "Drizzy."

Curry didn't mince words when talking about the track, saying it wasn't the only song in the world.

"Damn it with this song," Curry said. "It's not the only song in America."
"I love it," LeBron James replied while other stars like Joel Embiid and Anthony Davis laughed at the interaction.

The OVO Label founder hasn't replied to Kendrick's attacks anymore, but it seems like he's moved on from that situation and now will focus on dropping new music for his fans.
