Singer Keyshia Cole hypes up Damian Lillard vibing to her song during clubbing
Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard was recently filmed enjoying himself on camera while out at the club on Friday. Several photos and videos were posted to Instagram showing the eight-time All-Star on-stage at the club singing with Keyshia Cole. While the link-up may have caught some fans by surprise, others pointed out that both Cole and Lillard are from Oakland.
In one clip, Lillard can be seen enjoying himself while in another pic he can be seen standing behind Cole while singing along with the famed singer. Following the evening, Cole took to her Instagram story, sharing a clip of Lillard on-stage during the performance.
In the caption, Cole tagged Damian Lillard, letting fans and followers alike know that the pair turned up for the night. The NBA star then reposted Keyshia Cole's story post on his Instagram story, sharing two clips from the evening's festivities.

Looking at the new song teased by Damian Lillard before Keyshia Cole's concert
While Damian Lillard may have been enjoying a night out over the weekend to see Keyshia Cole perform, Lillard is also a respected musician in his own right. For years, the NBA vet has continued to impress on the mic with his rap skills.
From his freestyle on Shade45's acclaimed "Sway in the Morning" show in 2015 to his solo rap projects, Lillard can do it all. In the week before seeing Keyshia Cole perform at the club, Lillard showed off a snippet of a new song on Instagram.
In the caption of the unnamed song, Lillard linked to a clothing brand named YAGI, writing:
"YAGI - You Acquire Greatness Internally."
Check out the clip below.
Since putting the NBA community on notice with his freestyle on "Sway In The Morning," Lillard has continued to put out new music. From his 2016 album "The Letter O" to a slew of singles and snippets, the Milwaukee Bucks star has continued to drop new music for fans.
Back in 2021, while speaking in an interview with Revolt, he described himself as a rapper who plays basketball rather than a basketball player who raps. While discussing his music, and his upcoming project, he explained:
"What I want fans to get from my new project is I’m not a basketball player that raps, I’m a rapper."
With the NBA offseason just getting going, it will be interesting to see if Lillard releases any more new music before the start of the 2024-25 NBA season.
