Amid the ongoing tug-of-war between hip-hop giants Drake and Kendrick Lamar, NBA superstar LeBron James seems to have picked his side. Recently, during a Lakers game, he couldn’t help but groove to Lamar’s “tv off,” showcasing his allegiance.
LeBron James, the basketball titan, has been seen increasingly vibing to Kendrick Lamar’s tunes, raising eyebrows around his relationship with former buddy Drake. Once close allies, it looks like LeBron’s musical loyalties have significantly shifted.
Fans were treated to an entertaining spectacle when James, mid-game, started dancing as “tv off” blasted through the arena. The stoic expression on his face couldn’t mask his enthusiasm. Even more telling was his imitation of Lamar’s signature “MUSTARD!” yell.
This isn’t the first instance where James has showcased his newfound musical preference. Previously, during a warm-up session, he was seen jamming to the same track, further fueling the speculation about his growing distance from Drake.
The subtle feud between LeBron and Drake has been fascinating. Each action by one seems to be met with a passive-aggressive response from the other. For instance, Drake’s decision to unfollow James on Instagram was met with LeBron blasting “Not Like Us” throughout the summer.
Drake didn’t hold back either. He tweaked his lyrics during a performance in Australia, slyly distancing himself from any association with James.
With the Super Bowl nearing, LeBron didn’t miss a chance to praise Kendrick Lamar’s upcoming halftime show. His Instagram post, “He gone kill that sh*t,” clearly indicated where his support lies.
The dynamics between these celebrities go beyond just their music choices. Their interactions on social media and public appearances continue to offer fans a glimpse into this public rift.
As Drake continues to throw subtle jabs at LeBron, the basketball star he’s steadfast in showing support for Kendrick Lamar and his “GNX” album. Every time “tv off” plays, you can bet LeBron will be there, soaking it all in.
While the friendship between LeBron and Drake seems to have taken a hit, the former’s admiration for Kendrick Lamar is undeniable. Only time will tell how this dynamic evolves, but for now, LeBron’s allegiance is clear.
