During the FIBA World Cup, Houston Rockets forward Dillon Brooks had to pick between Drake and Ryan Reynolds for who was the better artist. Brooks, known for trash-talking LeBron James during the 2023 NBA playoffs, chose Reynolds. Drake responded on his album, referencing Brooks on "Another Late Night," featuring rapper Lil Yachty.
