NBA superstar Stephen Curry Opens Up About His Friendship with Drake, shedding light on their longstanding bond and addressing the viral moment when he reacted to Kendrick Lamar’s diss track, “Not Like Us,” during last year’s Olympics.
A Bond That Goes Beyond Basketball
In a recent interview with Speedy Morman for Complex, Curry reflected on his connection with the Canadian rapper, explaining that their relationship goes deeper than what fans might see publicly.
“We go way back,” Curry shared. “It’s actually kind of a family thing too. One of Ayesha’s cousins is from Toronto, and she’s from Toronto and the whole deal. So, we’re all in the same boat.”
His comments offer insight into the long-standing friendship that extends beyond the public eye, rooted in family ties and mutual respect.
Curry Reacts to Lamar’s Viral Diss Track
Addressing his visible discomfort with Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” Curry explained why he looked annoyed in a viral video from the Paris Olympics, where the track was being played while the USA basketball team was warming up.
“Everywhere we went, it was all I heard,” he said. “And, the fact that they know who I was with. You can’t do nothing about what the DJ’s playing. But I was like, I got sick of it at a certain point. It’s funny the cameras caught me because that was from the soul.”
In the video, Curry is seen standing next to LeBron James as “Not Like Us” blares through the speakers. Curry can be heard saying, “Damn with this song. It’s not the only song in America.” His comment sparked a social media debate, especially given Drake and Kendrick’s ongoing feud.
Drake Drops New Track “Which One”
Meanwhile, Drake has been busy releasing new music. His latest single, “Which One,” features British rapper Central Cee and leans into afrobeats and dancehall influences.
The song has quickly become a summer favorite, with Drake using a Caribbean accent to deliver sultry lyrics.
“You’re not like the tings you’re around / You’re a real good girl, so I’m bringin’ you down / But come to the bed, I’ll fling you around,” he raps on the track.
Central Cee matches the energy, adding a more explicit verse:
“God forbid a girl’s tryna have fun / I got X, if you wanna take drugs / You wanna have sex or do you wanna make love / Which one.”
The song was first teased during Drake’s headline set at Wireless Festival earlier this month, building anticipation before its official release.
