A video showing LeBron James dancing at Kendrick Lamar’s concert in Toronto recently went viral, sparking rumors about the NBA star’s presence at the event. However, the clip is not from the recent Toronto show but from Lamar’s 2022 Big Steppers Tour in Vancouver.
The footage was shared by a parody account on X (formerly Twitter) with a false claim that James attended Lamar’s Toronto performance. The post gained over 1 million views, but fact-checking confirms it is an old video. At the time, James was with his wife, Savannah, enjoying the concert in Vancouver.
This comes amid the ongoing tension between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. James previously showed support for Lamar by attending his “Pop Out” concert in June 2024, where Lamar performed his Drake diss track “Not Like Us.” Following this, Drake unfollowed James on social media, hinting at a fallout between the two.
Background on the Drake-Kendrick Lamar Feud
The rivalry between Drake and Kendrick Lamar has been one of the biggest rap battles in recent years. Lamar’s “Not Like Us”, a diss track accusing Drake of serious allegations, became a massive hit and even led to a defamation lawsuit from Drake against Universal Music Group.
Drake claimed the song used bots to boost streams and accused the label of manipulating its success. The legal battle continues, adding more drama to the feud.
LeBron James’ Connection to the Feud
James has not publicly taken sides but has shown subtle support for Lamar. He shared an Instagram Story praising Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show in February 2025. Additionally, he was seen dancing to Lamar’s “TV Off” during a Lakers game, further fueling speculation about his stance.
Drake seemingly responded with subliminal shots in his song “Fighting Irish Freestyle,” where he referenced James’ high school and questioned loyalty. The lyrics suggest Drake felt betrayed by James’ support for Lamar.
Fan Reactions and Misinformation
Many fans believed the viral clip was from the Toronto concert due to the ongoing feud. However, the video’s origin was quickly debunked. Some social media users expressed disappointment, while others found humor in the mix-up.
“This is why fact-checking matters. People just run with anything these days.” – A fan commented on X.
“LeBron stays winning, no matter which concert he’s at.” – Another fan joked.
Kendrick Lamar’s Toronto Concert Highlights
Lamar performed in Toronto on June 12, 2025, marking his first show in Drake’s hometown since their feud began. Fans eagerly awaited possible jabs at Drake, but Lamar took the high road, focusing on his music.
The crowd went wild when he performed “Not Like Us,” chanting for an encore. The song remains a fan favorite, despite the controversy surrounding it. Security was tight, with reports of 25 police escorts for Lamar, likely due to the heightened tensions.
Drake’s Response and Counter-Programming
Drake was supposed to host a livestream with Kai Cenat the same night as Lamar’s concert but postponed it, citing the need for more time. Some fans speculated this was to avoid direct competition with Lamar’s show.
Despite the rivalry, both artists continue to dominate headlines, keeping fans engaged in the drama.
Final Verdict on the LeBron James Video
The viral clip of LeBron James dancing is confirmed to be from 2022, not the recent Toronto concert. While James has shown support for Lamar in the past, he was not physically present at the Toronto show. The misinformation highlights how quickly false claims can spread online.
