UPDATE: Sources close to Chris Paul say that the basketball star never cheated with Kim Kardashian. A statement provided to TMZ read, “This is not true and sadly it’s an ongoing pattern with Kanye — attacking Kim to redirect everyone’s attention after a day of crazy antics where he has said every hateful and offensive thing he can possibly dream of.”
Drake became a trending topic on Twitter on Friday as a photo of him wearing Chris Paul’s jersey in the midst of his feud with Kanye West last year has resurfaced. It’s now being widely speculated whether the Canadian-born superstar perhaps may have known about the claim made by Kanye last night on Twitter, saying he had allegedly caught the NBA player with his then-wife Kim Kardashian.
Fans believe Drake may have been taunting Kanye in the photo, which was taken around the time he was set to release his album, “Certified Lover Boy,” with the caption above the snap reading, “September 3 CLB.” Two of his crew members are also seen sporting Chris’ jersey. Ye and Drizzy have shared a rather problematic friendship over the years, but in more recent times, the two have certainly not been seeing eye-to-eye despite trying to make amends on numerous occasions.
Drake was playing mind games the whole time with Kanye back when when CLB was dropping? Had all the homies in a Chris Paul Jersey while he was beefing with Kanye. Damn https://t.co/Xpd6rji7Yg

People on Twitter are convinced that the “One Dance” rapper was taunting Kanye by wearing the jersey with his friends, which they say was a clear implication that Drake knew of the alleged fling between Chris and Kim, though it should be noted that Ye never actually mentioned when he supposedly “caught” the pair together. Prior to their divorce announcement in early 2021, it had been reported that the ex-couple had been living separate lives for months, with Kanye spending his time in Wyoming while Kim remained in LA with their four children.
“Drake was wearing Chris Paul’s jersey while he knew CP3 was fuckin Kim, just to troll Kanye,” one person wrote on Twitter, while another continued, “Drake was playing mind games the whole time with Kanye back when when CLB was dropping? Had all the homies in a Chris Paul Jersey while he was beefing with Kanye. Damn.”
“Nah Chris Paul most definitely did it,No one just gone call out a random dude for smashing his wife lol and Drake confirmed it,” another person wrote, convinced that the photo was enough proof that the athlete allegedly had some sort of fling with Kim.
This man Kanye has accused his ex wife with sleeping with Drake, Meek Mill, Van Jones, and now Chris Paul. Wtf man

“Either way Kim was still giving it up to everyone. Drake, Chris Paul god knows who else,” another Twitter user wrote.
Kim and Chris have yet to address Kanye’s allegation about catching them together. The timeline of events are the most critical part that certainly needs some clarification on.
