Kicked out by your own father a couple of years into your life. If you have no brothers, then you most likely will be forced to become a nomad alone while you are still growing and vulnerable. You somehow have to find another pride, while keeping up the strength to challenge the current male(s) of the group. Even if you win and become the new pride leader, it's only a matter of time before you, yourself, are the weak old lion that some new upcoming lion kicks out. As lion fights are vicious, this fight alone might kill you. Otherwise, you are now an old and weak lion that has little chance at taking over another pride. You are worse off then when you left your original pride as now you don't even have the strength to hunt the big game you need to survive, slowly withering into nothingness. Your mortal enemies, the hyenas probably are ready to pounce if they ever see you and finish off your painful life.

Your only chance as an old male lion is becoming a mentor for other nomadic male lions out there that create a coalition with you as your experience may prove useful to them surviving and perhaps taking over another pride.

As a male lion, there is no peace. They look and sound majestic, but lions have one of the rougher lifestyles in the animal kingdom tbh.
