Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James and Georgia-born rapper and hip-hop icon 2 Chainz shared a friendly embrace at the Lakers-Hawks game.
The two cultural icons shared a moment before the start of the game, evidencing their close connection with the crowd.
The bond between the rapper and NBAstar has been forged over the years. In a revealing interview with Vanity Fair in 2019, LeBron James shared the details of how they crossed paths in their lives.
Although 2 Chainz was always an admired figure for James, even when his friends didn’t share the same appreciation for the rapper, the Lakers superstar never failed to express his admiration for the iconic artist.
The collaboration between the two reached a deeper level during the creation of 2 Chainz’ fifth studio album, “Rap or Go to the League.” On this project, James not only demonstrated his friendship, but also displayed his skill as an executive producer, contributing significantly to the album’s creative process.
This lasting bond between the basketball world and the music scene reveals a unique and solid connection between two giants of contemporary culture.
