Drake released a new song called “Fighting Irish Freestyle” by surprise on Friday (January 3), and it finds him getting a lot off his chest.
It was initially released as a VHS-style video on YouTube by Griselda affiliate Conductor Williams, who produced the song and previously worked with Drizzy on For All The Dogs Scary Hours Edition.
“Fighting Irish Freestyle” is not the 6 God’s first release since his high-profile beef with Kendrick Lamar (he dropped a handful of 100 Gigs loosies last summer), but it is his most pointed (and arguably his best) as he addresses those who either attacked him or betrayed him in 2024.
From LeBron James and Kendrick Lamar to DeMar DeRozan and Lil Wayne, social media is buzzing over the potential targets of Drake’s latest track. Let’s break it down.
LeBron James?
King James seems to be the main target of “Fighting Irish Freestyle.” For starters, the song title appears to reference the nickname of LeBron’s St. Vincent-St. Mary High School basketball team in Akron, Ohio. Drake even has a tattoo of LeBron in his now-famous “Irish” high school jersey on his left arm. Check out Drake’s Fighting Irish Freestyle in the video link below.
