LeBron James took to social media to unveil an unexpected talent that sent fans into a frenzy. His surprise message was addressed to none other than global music sensation Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio.
It signaled LeBron’s excitement about the artist’s upcoming “No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí” concert residency taking place in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Although the tweet mentioned “Los Ángeles,” fans can relax, as it wasn’t a cryptic nod to his rumored Lakers departure, but rather the King making his way to the airport to show love for a fellow superstar.
“Benito! I’m at the Los Angeles airport right now, coming to see you! I heard about what you have planned for tomorrow night. Welcome!” LeBron tweeted in Spanish.
A rare tweet fuels fun
With NBA free agency rumors swirling and trade discussions heating up, LeBron’s tweet might’ve seemed like a cryptic message about his future. But this time, there was no drama.
While fans had fun decoding the post, many were also surprised to see James comfortably tweeting in another language. Although he’s had a strong connection to international athletes and music for years, LeBron has kept his multilingual abilities under wraps.
Bad Bunny’s latest string of performances is part of his exclusive Puerto Rican residency that continues to sell out night after night. Given LeBron’s known appreciation for music-he’s curated playlists, praised Kendrick Lamar, and even jammed to reggaeton artists in the gym-it’s no surprise he’d want to be in the crowd for Benito’s big night.
LeBron’s offseason isn’t just about travel and concerts, though. Amid rumors of frustration with the Lakers’ front office, he’s been spending time on the golf course and experimenting with new hobbies.
At 40, and with his NBA future still being debated, James seems determined to enjoy this moment, whether he’s dominating the court or catching Bad Bunny’s set from front row.
