Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian reacts to Kendrick Lamar's star-studded concert show-out with savage Kobe Bryant throwback video
On Wednesday, Kendrick Lamar had a concert in Inglewood, California, which featured an array of NBA stars. After seeing the artist add more fuel to his latest beef with Drake, one entrepreneur had an interesting way of sharing his thoughts.
After seeing a snippet from the show go viral on X, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian used an old Kobe Bryant video to share his thoughts on the beef. In the video, the LA Lakers legend talks about beating opponents so badly that they re-think their career choices.
Over the past few months, Lamar and Drake have released a series of diss tracks aimed at each other. During his concert, he played every single one. Some even got played multiple times.
Along with performing his Drake Diss tracks, Kendrick Lamar's concert was a star-studded affair. Among those in attendance were Russell Westbrook, DeMar DeRozan, James Harden and LeBron James.
Ohanian is married to tennis icon Serena Williams. The two tied the knot back in 2017 and now have two daughters.
Kendrick Lamar has dropped NBA references in songs in the past
Aside from having players on stage at his concerts, Kendrick Lamar makes NBA references in some of his songs.
In his song "Control," Lamar talks about raising the bar among his peers in the rap game. While staking his claim, he references legendary NBA head coach Phil Jackson.
"If Phil Jackson came back still no coaching me," Lamar said.
To this day, Jackson is widely regarded as one of the greatest coaches ever. During his career on the sidelines, he won 11 championships. Six of those came with Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls. Jackson also coached Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal to three titles and then won two more with the superstar guard in 2009 and 2010.
This is not the only time Lamar has brought up NBA players in his music. In his song "Savior," he speaks about LeBron and Kyrie Irving.
"Bron made you give his flowers, but he is not your savior."
"Then I caught COVID and started to question Kyrie."
On the other hand, Drake also has ties with the NBA. He's regularly courtside at Toronto Raptors games and has built a good friendship with LeBron James over the years.
