The Los Angeles Lakers player was spotted rapping verses from the Lefty Gunplay-featured hit before his match with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
LeBron James is famous for being a huge Hip Hop fan in the NBA. After aiding in increasing the numbers of various musicians like 6lack, Travis Scott, Tee Grizzley, Currensy, Nipsey Hussle, and others, he even earned recognition as an executive producer on 2 Chainz’s 2019 album, Rap or Go to the League.
Despite the extensive coverage of his connection with Drake, it is widely believed that James’ endorsement of Kendrick Lamar has caused a rift in their close friendship. Even though Drake has a tattoo of the four-time NBA Champion and league MVP, he decided to stop following him on social media after Bron attended “The Pop Out: Ken & Friends” event on Juneteenth 2024 in Los Angeles. During the summer, Savannah James has been spotted wearing pgLang clothing as well.
LeBron was spotted rapping with Lamar’s GNX hit “tv off” on Friday night before facing the Oklahoma City Thunder. Fans promptly noticed King James mouthing lyrics to the Lefty Gunplay-assisted hit on live television. One fan questioned if everyone would continue to ignore the fact that he and Drake were close friends before the conflict began. Another person claimed, “The music is so amazing that even LeBron James knows the lyrics!!!!!!!”.
Over the years, LeBron has been criticized by numerous fans for rapping along to songs without completely knowing the lyrics. Him appearing to sing the Mustard-produced song verbatim adds an extra emotional blow to his relationship with the Canadian rap star.
Drake has been engaging in numerous conflicts throughout the year. Though Lamar was hailed as the victor in their lyrical competition by the public, he has shifted his focus to a new battleground by submitting numerous petitions against Universal Music Group. Drake’s team has made two claims that UMG and Spotify artificially increased streams for “Not Like Us” and should not have released a track labeling him a “pedophile.”
