LeBron James appeared fired up after Nike dissed Drake at Kendrick Lamar's expense on Saturday. The company slandered the Canadian artist after the LA Dodgers' win over the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 7 of the World Series.

The sports apparel brand shared a post celebrating the Dodgers’ win, featuring an edit that rolled the credits with the players listed as cast members. The clip was set to Kendrick Lamar’s song “Squabble Up,” taking a subtle jab at Toronto native Drake.

"You can’t write this stuff," Nike captioned the post.

This post came as a response to Drake's story from Wednesday, as the rapper trolled Shohei Ohtani during Game 5.

"Savage already otw to the dugout boss lol," Drake captioned the post.

The artist shared the story after the Blue Jays took a 3-2 lead in the series and were a game away from clinching the World Series. However, the Dodgers fought back in Game 6, earning a 3-1 win, before securing back-to-back championships with a 5-4 victory last night.

Nike, which sponsors Drake and collaborates with him on his signature shoe line, Nocta, seemingly turned on the artist with their post on Friday. Using Kendrick Lamar’s song, a nod to the Compton native, to celebrate an LA team’s victory was a clever move, but doing so at Drake’s expense was downright diabolical.

The two artists were embroiled in a rap feud last year, and Nike’s latest move adds yet another layer to their intensifying rivalry.
