LeBron James is 6'9" tall, so no one could have missed him when he went nuts at Kendrick Lamar's Sunday show in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
LeBron James stood out in the VIP zone of the court while wearing an all-white outfit.
Mike Man (aka @chubbyvegan18) tweeted, "@KingJames rocking out at @kendricklamar show in #Vancouver. He added, "Great Show! Two Kings brought their A-Game tonight! #LeBron #kendrick."
Savannah James, LeBron's wife, was 26 on August 27; the show coincided with her birthday. "Vancouver!! "Thank you for the weekend hospitality," LeBron tweeted on Monday. "1st time in your beautiful, wonderful city! @kendricklamar, you're 1 of a kind, my brother! SPECIAL show by a SPECIAL person! Appreciate the love," he added.
LeBron and Kendrick have been pals for years. In 2018, the NBA champion posted a snapshot of himself and fellow Los Angeles Lakers players.
While he can pack shows, Kendrick Lamar is quite a controversial artist. With the music industry putting the epidemic further in its rearview mirror, 2022 has produced an astounding number of records by some of the most prominent modern artists.
A number of these prominent musicians have released conceptual album statements that have become some of the most talked-about albums of the year. One of them is Kendrick Lamar.
On August 27, Lamar performs at Climate Pledge Arena, two days after releasing his first album in five years, with assistance from his cousin and breakout sensation Baby Keem.
Despite their similar stature, the long-running pop artist and Pulitzer Prize-winning rap poet arrive in Seattle at slightly different points in their respective careers. Lamar returned this spring with his debut album in five years, intent on shattering the picture fans and reviewers had made of him as the voice of a generation fighting for social justice anew. Unfortunately, he really does not want that responsibility.
This year's intensely personal "Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers" is a veil-dropping reclaiming of his own narrative, with themes and approaches that irritate some of the contemporary Compton rapper's admirers. Actually, Lamar has been subjected to the first substantial criticism in his flawless career, which has delivered three legendary albums over a span of five years - a run as astounding as any in the history of modern music.
In the years following the 2017 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel "DAMN," the globe has become more unstable, with all politicized disputes worsening by the minute. As time passed, fans, including LeBron James, yearned for new music from the artist whose song "Alright" became a Black Lives Matter protest anthem.
They desired the creator of "The Blacker the Berry" to help them make sense of the brutally complex times they were living in, or at least to refuel their spirits while the struggle continued. He is clearly rejecting those expectations.
"The cat is out of the bag, I am not your savior," Lamar raps on "Savior," a track co-produced by Lynnwood's Mario Luciano. "I find it just as difficult to love thy neighbors." Lamar was criticized for featuring Kodak Black, who has been accused of multiple acts of violence against women, including a 2016 rape case for which he eventually pleaded guilty to a lesser assault charge.
The LGBTQ+ community also reacted negatively to Lamar's frequent usage of a homophobic slur in "Auntie Diaries," a song that also denounces the term and expresses sympathy for two trans relatives.
