LeBron James paid tribute to Takeoff on Sunday (November 6) afternoon after the Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers, 114-100, in Los Angeles. He wore a suit and tie ensemble with a Jesus piece that looked identical to an outfit the late Migos rapper wore in the past.
When reporters asked for LeBron's thoughts on Takeoff's recent passing, he stated that he'd been listening to Migos since his first year with the Heat in 2010. He stated, "I was listening to those guys my first year with the Heat in 2010. You can ask any one of my teammates back then, they had no idea who the Migos was… I was like ‘I’m telling you these guys are next.'"
However, social media users pointed out that Migos didn't drop their first mixtape until 2011. LeBron started trending on social media for his comments, with many people claiming that he was lying about being an early supporter of Migos. LeBron has yet to respond to the backlash.
