Comedian Eddie Griffin isn’t holding back when it comes to Drake. During the latest episode of his “NNN” show, the actor roasted the Canadian rapper over his most recent album, “ICEMAN,” and called him too “sensitive.” His critique of the “Degrassi” alum’s album comes after the latter took shots at several celebrities on the project, including NBA champion LeBron James.
Griffin, known for his sitcom “Malcolm & Eddie,” spoke about Drake’s May 15 album on the most recent episode of his YouTube show. As he was speaking about it, Griffin made it clear that he wasn’t a fan of the “One Dance” rapper, calling him too “sensitive.”
In the video, which now has over 114,000 views, Griffin told his listeners that he hadn’t planned on listening to Drake’s latest body of work, saying he “refuses to buy garbage.” During his rant, he also seemed to take issue with some of Drake’s songs, particularly one where he takes a clear shot at Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James.
“… the ice-melting man is said to have a song clowning LeBron James because he took a picture on the sidelines with Kendrick Lamar after taking a picture with Drake,” Griffin said. “He took a picture with your enemy? I didn’t know y’all were dating.”
Griffin didn’t stop there, though. He went even further, saying Drake “sounds like a b-tch to me.” He added, “It’s over. Just take your owl a** and travel in the dark quietly because owls, they move quietly.”
Drake Calls Out LeBron James In ‘1 Am In Albany’
According to a previous report from The Blast, Drake stirred up a bit of chaos on the night of May 14, 2026, when songs from his trio of albums were leaked online. In one song, “1 AM in Albany,” Drake makes it clear that he’s no longer in a good place with his former friend, James.
“I shouldn’t even be shocked to see you in that arena, because you always made your career off of switching teams up,” Drake raps over the beat. “Please stop asking what’s going on with 23 & me, I’m a real n****, and he’s not, it’s in my DNA.”
Drake’s lyrics about the Cleveland Cavaliers alum come over a year after James was spotted singing along to Kendrick Lamar‘s diss track about the “God’s Plan” rapper, “Not Like Us.”
Drake And James Had A Close Relationship With One Another
Prior to their falling out, Drake and James had a well-documented friendship. Not only did the “Hotline Bling” rapper have a portrait of James tattooed on his body, but he also revealed in 2011 that he used to text James before every game.
“I always let him know that it’s his night,” Drake said, according to The Blast. “Let’s get it, let’s go out there with a clear mind and forget all the other stuff going on and just stay focused on the task. That ring. Tonight, I told him it was his night. And it was his night tonight.”
In 2025, James opened up about his strained relationship with Drake in an interview with Speedy Morman, admitting that things between them had soured.
“Always wish him the best. Obviously, um, different places right now, currently. He’s doing his thing, I’m doing mine. But it’s always love, for sure,” the father of three said.
Drizzy Was Saddened By James’ Behavior
Prior to speaking about his issues with James on his album, Drake made it clear that he had issues with those who’d wronged him, releasing a statement during a 2024 speech showing love to his “real friends” who had stood by him.
Continuing, Drake said that he’s had to find the strength to move forward after being hurt by those close to him.
“They might try to move funny with you. They might stab you in the back. They might do a lot of things to you. You’ll come to that realization, wherever you’re at in life. You’ve probably been there and you’ll be there again. That’s how life is. Sometimes it’s you and you alone by yourself,” he said.
The Rapper Stars In A New Commercial With Another NBA Champion
Although Drake’s relationship with James has deteriorated, that hasn’t stopped other NBA icons from teaming up with the “Hold On, We’re Going Home” rapper.
Recently, Drake starred in a new Nike commercial alongside NBA champion Kevin Durant to promote his new sneaker, the KD19.
“Normalize glazing the bros @easymoneysniper 19th sneaker available on nike.com and SNKRs 6.17,” the two stars captioned the Instagram post.
