NBA star LeBron James was seen enjoying himself as Kendrick Lamar sang Drake diss tracks and other songs at his Pop Out Concert in Los Angeles. James and his wife, Savannah James, were among the high-profile guests of the evening as Lamar brought together an array of talented acts in the concert. Interestingly, Drake recorded the song Forever with Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Eminem to honor James in 2009.
Lamar’s concert featured performances from Remble, Tommy The Clown, Mustard, Roddy Ricch, YG, Tyler, The Creator, Steve Lacy, and Dr. Dre. Besides James, notable figures like DeMar DeRozan, Russell Westbrook, Rick Ross, and James Harden were also in attendance at the concert held at the KIA Forum.
LeBron James Shows Up At Kendrick Lamar’s Concert After Drake’s Song Dedication For Him
Kendrick Lamar invited a whole bunch of stars to his Pop Out concert, where he debuted several of his Drake diss tracks starting with Euphoria. LeBron James was a popular attendee of the show where Lamar performed his chart-topping diss track Not Like Us five times in a row. In a viral video, James was seen rapping along the song’s lines at the concert.
However, a few fans found LeBron James enjoying the Drake diss tracks a bit unsettling as the rapper had earlier dedicated a song to the NBA superstar. One Instagram fan noted this in a reel, with the caption reading:
Drake had a whole song dedicated to LeBron just for him to switch sides and show up to Kendrick concert.
Drake joined forces with Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Eminem to create the single Forever in 2009. The song was recorded for a documentary on James, titled More Than A Game. The video of the song kicks off with James playing online poker. Clips from the documentary featuring James’ basketball career and his ascend to the top of the NBA were used throughout the video.
The dedicated song didn’t stop LeBron James from breaking into dance moves at the Lamar concert. James was joined by his Lakers teammates and they were quick to turn the concert into their little pre-game warm-up. Interestingly, the NBA player has now become an unintentional participant in the Lamar-Drake feud.
Kendrick Lamar’s Pop Out Concert Makes Him The Winner In The Feud With Drake
The feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake had been nothing but unrestrained chaos. They kept on dropping the vicious diss tracks, targeting each other’s personal lives. Interestingly, Lamar was considered to be the winner of the beef by several music lovers as his diss tracks stood out with sharp lyrics and even became chart-toppers.
The videos of Lamar’s concert performance went viral on social media. His chart-topping diss track, Not Like Us, was performed five times with the crowd often chanting the lyrics. Interestingly, the lyrics to the song laid strong accusations against Drake, calling him a “certified p*dophile” and “colonizer”.
Lamar even went on to add new lyrics to his other diss track Euphoria, where he sang, “Give me Tupac’s ring back and I might give you a little respect.” It was a reference to Drake purchasing Tupac Shakur’s crown ring at an auction for an amount of over $1 million (via Forbes).
Kendrick Lamar’s Pop Out concert was streamed live on Amazon Prime Video.
