Los Angeles Lakers: LeBron James May Start a Shocking Fight with Kendrick Lamar Diss Track

LeBron James has never been shy when it comes to showing his love for the rap game. The Los Angeles Lakers star hasn’t been shy with letting his fans know what he’s been into musically.

Moreover, the future first-ballot Hall of Famer has close connections with some of the biggest names in the industry. Due to this, whatever he bops on is usually picked up by sports and music media alike.

One of his most popular connections is his relationship with Drake, as his relationship with the Canadian rapper and business mogul is well-documented. However, it seems something has changed in their relationship as James is enjoying a song that is obviously targeted at the Hotline Bling artist.

LeBron James raps Kendrick Lamar’s Like That diss during Los Angeles Lakers warmups

During the Los Angeles Lakers’ warmups ahead of their 116-104 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday, Like That was being blasted. The song by Future, Kendrick Lamar, and Metro Boomin is popular for the obvious attack on the God’s Plan rapper.

While the song is catchy for a multitude of reasons, only a few imagined that LeBron would actually bump to the song. However, ESPN’s Omar Raja captured King James reciting the unreserved Kendrick verse word for word:

AllHipHop.com’s Yohance Kyles explains the relationship the legendary baller and popular rapper share that makes this incident worth noting:

Omar Raja’s video sparked a lot of online conversation because LeBron James has been closely associated with Drake for many years. The rap star contributed to the soundtrack for James’s 2008 documentary More than a Game.

Additionally, Drake sat with LeBron in 2018 for the NBA legend’s HBO series The Shop: Uninterrupted. That episode featured the Toronto native talking about his highly-publicized feuds with other rappers like Kanye West and Pusha T.

Something may have changed in the relationship between the two for James to be seen visibly vibing to the Compton-based lyricist’s diss track. After all, he understands how public perception works since he’s been exposed to it for decades.

However, LeBron James may also be rapping the controversial verse because it’s just that good of a song. We’ll probably never know unless the King himself speaks up the same way he did about his retirement.
