Diddy Names LeBron James the NBA’s Best Singer, While Snoop Dogg Praises Shaq as Best Rapper
Sean “Diddy” Combs has shifted the conversation within the NBA from the best rapper to the best singer, and he’s crowned none other than basketball legend LeBron James as the king of the league’s vocal talents.
LeBron James recently took to his Instagram Stories to share a clip of himself enthusiastically singing along to the Jacquees and Fabolous track “Pick Up,” featured on the newly released album “The Love Album: Off the Grid.”
Diddy, the Bad Boy Records mogul, stumbled upon the video of the Lakers star enjoying his music and returned the compliment by sharing the clip on his own Instagram with the caption: “Nah, my brother @KingJames got the best voice in the NBA! 😂 LOVE! LOVE!! LOVE 🖤🙏🌠⚡✨.”
Meanwhile, Snoop Dogg has also weighed in on the ongoing debate over who the greatest NBA rapper is, and he made a choice that aligns with his loyalties.
Earlier in September, the iconic rapper shared a snippet of Shaquille O’Neal’s verse on the new track “3 Lokos” by Southern California duo Coyote. Snoop used this as evidence to support his decision.
Snoop captioned the clip: “@shaq greatest NBA rapper of all time.” In the verse, Shaq rapped: “They think I’m on the brink of my insanity / If he ain’t spitting like this for the money, then what can it be / Momma managed me, Papa was in the military / I come from The Bricks where the only option is just the cemetery / I get in the mix opposite of Ben & Jerry’s.”
Snoop, a lifelong Lakers fan, has a deep-rooted affinity for Shaq, dating back to the basketball legend’s time with the Lakers when he led the team to three consecutive championships at the turn of the century.
Shaquille O’Neal, both a dominant force on the basketball court and in the entertainment world, consistently impresses with his rap skills.
The question now arises: should LeBron James and Shaq take their talents off the court and collaborate in the music world?
