On Juneteenth, Kendrick Lamar, the popular American rapper, held his much-anticipated ‘Pop Out’ concert in Los Angeles. As one of the year’s most anticipated events, it drew the attention of many, including Los Angeles Clippers star Russell Westbrook, which led to him becoming the target of criticism from popular streamer Akademiks.
Lamar was performing his hit “Not Like Us!” during the concert when Westbrook and DeMar DeRozan unexpectedly appeared on stage. In a recent livestream, Akademiks expressed his views on Westbrook teaming up with Lamar. He took the opportunity to throw a subtle jab at the NBA star, saying, “Westbrook, you’ll never win a ring n****.”
Juneteenth is often referred to as America’s second Independence Day. It commemorates the end of slavery in America following the Civil War.
Apart from Westbrook and DeRozan, other notable figures such as NBA legend LeBron James, Kendrick Perkins, Coby White, and Dalen Terry were also present at the event.
