Drake's message to LeBron after he broke the all-time scoring record is going viral, it's pure gold

"I lied, I lied to you... I'm actually still in the club in Miami."

Drake's got jokes, in all fairness to him.

The music megastar has gone viral for his hilarious reaction to LeBron James breaking the NBA's all-time scoring record.

Toronto Raptors super-fan Drake was one of the many celebs who sent a congratulatory video message to LeBron following his historic achievement.

But while others took a more emotional lovey dove route, such as LeBron's wife and kids, Drake decided to take a slightly different angle.

In the clip, Drake begins with an over-exagerated cross-over into the camera while standing in what appears to be a gymnasium.

With the ball under his arms, he says: "LeBron, what a legendary night in NBA history, you're breaking the all-time scoring record.

"And to honour that, I had to come back to the place that it all started: Akron, Ohio.

"Every journey has it's beginning and tonight..."

The video then stops in its tracks as a green screen falls down behind him, revealing that Drake isn't - in fact - in LeBron's hometown, but instead a night club.

With loud music playing and a bunch of women in the background, Drake then casually looks behind him.

"I lied, I lied to you," he says.

"I'm actually still in the club in Miami but all the girls say congrats though, right girls?"

The video blew up, racking up millions of likes across social media and broadcast.

But while most people found it pretty funny, others weren't too impressed.

One person commented: "This was cringe."

While another added: "Please stop on behalf of all of humanity."

As a third said: "Managed to make it all about himself. shocker."

Poor Drake, the internet never shies away from unloading on him.

Interestingly, this isn't the first time the Canadian rapper has produced a basketball-themed clip.

A few years back, he did a hilarious sketch with Will Ferrell which featured DeMar DeRozan.

On top of that, his music video for the song 'Laugh Now, Cry Later' shows Drake seemingly getting the better of Kevin Durant in a one-on-one.
