LeBron James raps along to Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” in a video currently making the rounds on X.

The video, which TMZ says was taken in Cannes, appears to have first been shared to Instagram. Savannah James and Maverick Carter are also seen in the clip, as are Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez. It wasn’t immediately clear when, exactly, the footage was originally captured.

Savannah, whose Reframe brand launched back in May, joins her husband in rapping along to the Drake-dissing 2024 hit. See more below.

In another clip seemingly stemming from the same event, LeBron is seen singing along to The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights.”

This isn’t the first time a LeBron-rapping-along-to-Kendrick clip has generated headlines. At a 40th birthday celebration, for example, he was filmed doing the same with “Man at the Garden,” off Kendrick’s GNX album.

In February, Drake tweaked a LeBron-nodding “Nonstop” lyric during an Anita Max Win Tour stop in Perth. This came after “Fighting Irish” freestyle speculation and LeBron’s appearance at Kendrick’s Pop Out event.

On “What Did I Miss,” released earlier this month, Drake mentioned an unnamed Pop Out attendee who’s “been dick-riding gang since ‘Headlines.’” Expectedly, many fans have speculated this lyric is about LeBron.

As for that Cannes clip, LeBron hasn't publicly addressed it on social media. Monday, he made a surprise appearance alongside Maverick Carter in the official video for Tyler, The Creator’s Bron and Mav-mentioning DON’T TAP THE GLASS track “Stop Playing With Me.”
