The Boston Celtics were well on their way to etching their names in the history books during the Eastern Conference Finals. Unfortunately for the Celtics, despite coming back from an 0-3 deficit to even out the series, they finally lost to the Miami Heat. But did you know, a famous rapper had to suffer heartbreak at the hands of Jimmy Butler and the Heat despite having a blockbuster song about one of Miami’s finest young stars?

As the Boston Celtics took one game after another to even out the series to 3-3, people quickly changed their stance on the outcome. And maybe this rapper did too. Ultimately, alas, Jayson Tatum and the rest of the roster could not help him save face after all.

The Miami Heat are competing in the NBA Finals twice in the span of four years. The team defeated the reigning Eastern Conference champions, the Boston Celtics, but had started off by knocking out the number one seed in the East, the Milwaukee Bucks.

So, it may not have been smart to bet against the Heat, also after the fact that Jack Harlow had a whole song about Heat’s sharpshooter, Tyler Herro. As the Celtics forced Game 7, Jack Harlow was in attendance to witness history in the making.

Unfortunately for him, the Heat got the best of the Celtics as they got the win to advance to the NBA Finals. Now, one would assume that Harlow would be repping for the Miami Heat, given his relationship with Heat star Tyler Herro

Instead, the five-million-worth rapper was seen wearing a Celtics varsity jacket as he arrived for the final matchup in the seven-game series. But after the Heat got the last laugh, fans are now eagerly waiting his return.
