“@babykeem is a FLAT OUT *star emoji* !!!!! He got that “IT” factor,” James wrote on Twitter.
This isn’t the first time the basketball legend has shown love to Keem. He previously videoed himself getting hype to the 21-year-old’s Melodic Bluetrack “Family Ties” during a gym workout, and shouted out Keem’s 2021 debut on his Instagram Story during its first week.
The four-time NBA Champion has also been a huge supporter of Keem’s “Family Ties” collaborator Kendrick Lamar over the years, and was spotted getting hype on Monday (August 29) at Kendrick’s Vancouver tour stop on The Big Steppers Tour.
James had a section of the venue to himself alongside his wife Savannah James, where he was seen raging to K Dot as he performed. LeBron later took to his Twitter page to thank the city for the warm welcome and to shout out Kung Fu Kenny for a stellar performance.
