Fans often get to see Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James bobbing his head to new releases every now and then. James loves posting videos of himself enjoying music and jamming along to the beat. However, rarely do fans get to see James’ eight-year-old daughter enjoy music, and that too rap music. 

James’ love for music can often be seen on his Instagram stories. Either he is listening to some old-school music or new releases in the gym or in his car. Even James’ sons Bronny and Bryce often put up stories of themselves listening to something or the other.

But fans got to see a rare sight of King James’ daughter, Zhuri James, listening to platinum-level artist, Eminem. At first, one would think that Zhuri might be listening to a fairly new song by Slim Shady.

In fact, she was listening to Eminem’s Academy Award-winning song, ‘Lose Yourself.’ James captioned the video, “My babe loves this song!! Great DNA!! @allthingszhuri @eminem.” James did not write the word ‘DNA’, instead, he used an emoji to indicate that.

Eminem’s ‘Lose Yourself’ was the first hip-hop song to win an Academy Award for Best Original Song back in 2003. The song came out with his semi-autobiography,8 Mile.’ 

Even in the video, fans could hear James singing along to Eminem’s lyrics as well as Zhuri joining in with him. Even after James stopped singing, Zhuri continued to rap along with the ‘Rap God’. Zhuri and James were sitting next to Savannah who was seemingly busy working on the laptop right next to her daughter.

Why Eminem is still considered one of the greats

James has often been seen listening to more new-age rappers rather than listening to some old-school hip-hop. Now while Eminem arguably wouldn’t come under the new age era, he likely wouldn’t come under the old school era either. And after making songs for video games now, Eminem could be considered in a category of his own.
