Symba has boldly proclaimed that the Golden State Warriors will only need five games to defeat the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference semifinals. However, the Lakers took a 2-1 lead in that series after beating the Warriors by 30 points on Saturday (May 6).
Symba, who is a die-hard Warriors fan, was in attendance for the game and was seated on the hardwood floor. With a confident aura, the emerging rap star took to his Instagram stories to put his stamp of approval on the reigning NBA champions to finish off the Lakers in dominant fashion to advance in the NBA playoffs.

The Bay Area artist has a special relationship with the Golden State Warriors.
In November 2022, he joked that he’s going to leave rap to join the championship squad.
As part of a promotion for his previous single ,“Welcome 2 My Season,” Symba spent some time with the Warriors and joked about how he was practicing with the team ahead of making his debut on the court with them.
“I’m here to announce the retirement of my rap career and the beginning of my basketball career. I’m officially signed as a Golden State Warrior,” he said at a fake press conference before hitting the court. “You ever seen Like Mike? Welcome to Like Symba.”
Also in October 2022, Symba helped kick off the Golden State Warriors 2022-2023 NBA season by lending his voice to narrate their opening night highlight video.

To get fans ready for the event, NBC Sports teamed up with the Dubs, Symba and fellow Bay Area son Mistah F.A.B. for a video hyping up the new season. The video montage contained clips from the Warriors 2021-2022 remarkable championship run.
“They said the run was over, that this team was washed, that the dynasty by The Bay had come to an end, I’m not sure what else they’ve been saying.” Symba said before fellow Bay Area native Mistah F.A.B chimed in and added: “I mean it’s awfully hard to hear with all this champagne and confetti. The Larry is back where it belongs. Warriors! Champs once again.”

Symba will be taking the court Sunday night in Phoenix at the Nuggets and Suns game as the halftime performer. He is rooting for Kevin Durant and the Suns to tie up their series at 2-2, as they are down one game in that contest.
