Kendrick Lamar held his “The Pop Out: Ken & Friends” concert in Inglewood, California, on Wednesday in front of NBA lore. LeBron James, James Harden, DeMar DeRozan and Russell Westbrook were all in attendance at the Kia Forum.
Los Angeles-area natives DeRozan and Westbrook danced near each other during the concert, which was held in recognition of Juneteenth. Harden was seen in a video with rapper Rick Ross. James sat near the stage as rapper YG performed earlier in the concert.
Westbrook and DeRozan then appeared on stage together as Lamar performed “Not Like Us” later in the show.
Jamal Crawford, three-time Sixth Man of the Year winner, chimed in about the concert on X.
K Dot got a baseball hat, a hoodie, some jeans, and CHAINS on.

The Grammy award-winning rapper’s concert included performances from Southern California-based artists, including Tyler, the Creator, ScHoolboy Q, DJ Mustard and Roddy Ricch, among others.
The event comes a month after a highly publicized feud with Grammy Award-winning rapper Drake. Tennis stars Naomi Osaka and Coco Gauff were among many that chimed in on the rap beef.
