It sure seems like LeBron James is twisting the knife in his wounded relationship with Drake … ’cause hours after the rapper dissed him at a concert, he took to social media to show love for Kendrick Lamar.

King James shared his excitement for K. Dot’s upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show on Wednesday … saying he can’t wait to watch the Compton native “kill that [poop emoji]” in a matter of days.

While there’s no direct shot, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to read between the lines — after all, there’s no way Bron wasn’t aware of the stunt Drizzy pulled by switching up his LeBron lyrics while performing “Nonstop” in Australia.

It certainly didn’t help when LeBron vibed to Lamar’s “Man at the Garden” while celebrating his 40th birthday months later.

Not only did Drake change his lyrics to shade the Lakers superstar, listeners also felt he also threw jabs in his “Fighting Irish Freestyle” earlier this year.

Kendrick Lamar is about to find out if his smash hit “Not Like Us” is as popular with NFL and network lawyers and execs as it is with the public — and his Super Bowl Halftime Show hangs in the balance.

This is a big day down in the Big Easy, as Kendrick’s set list is expected to be handed off to the NFL and FOX honchos gathered in New Orleans for the game. Wednesday is typically the day Halftime Show performers pull back the curtain for the league, and reveal the songs they’re going to perform.

But, this year there’s extra attention on Kendrick’s plans, because of “Not Like Us,” and the defamation lawsuit Drake filed against Universal Music Group over the diss track … which, as we all know, flat-out calls Drake a “certified pedophile.”

Worth noting is what happened Sunday night when K Dot won Record of the Year at the Grammys. CBS opted to play the “pedophile” portion of the song as he walked onstage, and the whole crowd at Crypto.com Arena loudly sang the iconic “A minor” line. Imagine that now with more than 80,000 people Sunday in the Superdome.

U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett is ripping Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency … she says he needs a lesson in how the federal government is supposed to run.

The Congresswoman from Texas joined us on “TMZ Live” Wednesday and we asked her about Elon’s seemingly endless influence over the Trump administration.

Jasmine says Elon is wielding way too much power for an unelected immigrant … and she thinks it’s rich the GOP is letting him have his way just because President Trump gave him the green light. She says Republicans would have him deported if he didn’t bankroll Trump’s campaign.

Vice President J.D. Vance is defending Elon against folks who say no one voted for Musk … but Jasmine says Elon is doing way too much and is way too involved.

We challenged Jasmine about examples of non-elected advisors and First Lady’s wielding power and influence in Washington … but Crockett says none compare to what’s going on with Elon and DOGE.
