Last Wenesday, rapper Kendrick Lamar organized a massive concert with all his rapper friends from the Los Angeles area that made headlines around the world. Many celebrities and famous athletes were there. One of the people who attended was Los Angeles Lakers star, LeBron James. Although the event was officially a get together of all the West Coast’s greatest acts, it was also the perfect excuse for Kendrick Lamar to make thousands of people bully Drake with his ‘Not Like Us’ hit song. He played the song about five or six straight times and it was introduced by none other than Dr. Dre. Amongst the acts that performed in this event were YG, Tyler The Creator, Remble, and the doctor himself.

LeBron James picks side in Kendrick Lamar vs Drake

Is LeBron James team Kendrick or team Drake?

When the hit song was playing, there was a moment where NBA stars James Harden, DeRozan, and Russell Westbrook were dancing on stage. But LeBron James was also in attendance and dancing to the music from his seat. As people may know, James has a great relationship with both Kendrick Lamar and Drake. So people started theorizing who the Lakers legend is aligned with during this very public rap battle. The concert that took place at the Kia Forum was a loud culmination of what many are already calling the greatest rap battle in history. But how can it be that great if it seems so one-sided? That’s the question everybody is asking.

Whether LeBron James picks one side or the other should not be under scrutiny, surely he will make the most Darwinian answer because he is a survivor. Staying on the right side of history is a natural instinct and LeBron James didn’t want to miss the opportunity to witness a sublime moment in West Coast rap history. But that doesn’t necessarily mean he is taking one side or the other. One can like both rappers and shouldn’t be judged for it. If only more people understood that LeBron doesn’t need to take a side in this battle, we would be living in a very different world.
