Music superstar, Rihanna is also a big Lakers fan. Now retired, Nick Young once wore the Los Angeles jersey and had the chance to see the singer cheer for his former team. He thus returned to these significant moments.
It is known that Los Angeles is the residence of most of the world’s superstars. And when crossing the Walk of Fame in Hollywood, we also find ourselves a few steps from the Crypto.com Arena. Singers, actors, comedians and even athletes often come together to attend Lakers matches. Among the regulars is Rihanna.
Because when she is not performing on stage, although she has been engaging in other activities for a while, the Barbadian artist likes to go to Purple & Gold matches. A few years earlier, Nick Young had the opportunity to see him in the audience. In an interview on VladTVhe then recounted what those moments were like when the music celebrity was present.
Nick Young honest about Rihanna at Lakers games
We had the chance to approach Rihanna. Normally, in the front row, she cannot sit. She can’t go on the field either. When that was the case we rolled the ball towards her (laughs). She is also large in size. You know, the Crypto.com Arena is Hollywood. You go there to take photos, go to a nightclub and see a Lakers game.
These words from Nick Young also echo what he said in Outta Pocket previously.

Some superstars would sit in the front row and trash-talk. Kevin Hart is one of them. He was trying to be funny. And even though he wasn’t, I smiled. Rihanna didn’t do trash-talking, but when she was there, you wanted to perform better for her. Every time I scored, I looked at her. Spike Lee was funny because we were bickering among ourselves even during halftime.
In 4 seasons with the Lakers, Swaggy P saw beautiful people come to encourage or boo his former franchise. We will especially note that the ex-back’s most beautiful performances in these colors were surely during Rihanna’s presence in the arena. But whether in front or behind in the middle of the other spectators, the singer has always shown her passion for LAL, sometimes even with the jersey of her favorite player.
WOW LEBRON JAMES SUPERFAN RIHANNA JUST MADE THE SHOW
During his career and especially when he played for the Lakers, Nick Young played certain matches under the eyes of Rihanna. He also made no secret of the fact that he felt a surge of enthusiasm and determination when he saw the popstar in the front row.
