LeBron James is clearly vibing with Sean “Diddy” Combs and his latest album, The Love Album: Off the Grid.
On Monday, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar took to Instagram to share a video of himself grooving and singing along to “Pick Up,” featuring Jacquees and Fabolous, a track from the album released on September 15.
The clip began with James, 38, seated in the passenger seat of a car, nodding his head to the music while repeating, “Okay! Okay!” He also sang along to the lyrics, “Imma give you what you need, baby / If you let me take the lead.”
“Man O Man!!!!!!!” he wrote across the clip. “@diddy The ?? Album: Off The Grid is an ABSOLUTE FKN STONE COLD VIBE!!!!! ??????????.”
James, a devoted father of three with his wife Savannah—sons Bronny, 18, and Bryce, 16, and daughter Zhuri Nova, 8—continued to sing and dance along to the infectious beat.
Diddy, the CEO of Bad Boy Records, aged 53, noticed that the NBA legend was feeling the musical vibe and responded with his own compliment to James’ singing talents on Instagram.
“Nah, my brother @KingJames got the best voice in the NBA! ? LOVE! LOVE!! LOVE ???????,” Combs wrote.

These two have been close friends for several years. In 2018, Diddy shared a photo of mysterious black boxes addressed to many of his famous pals, including James, teasing that “something special” was “on the way.”
On September 12, at the MTV VMAs, Diddy was honored with the Global Icon Award, presented by his longtime friend Mary J. Blige. His eldest daughter, Chance, 17, and twin daughters D’Lila and Jessie, both 16, were there to support their father.
Diddy accepted the award at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, and delivered a medley performance of his hits with assistance from Yung Miami, Keyshia Cole, and his son King Combs, aged 25.
In addition to his children with James’ kids, Diddy is also a father to sons Quincy Taylor Brown, 32, and Justin Dior, 29, and his daughter Love, who is 9 months old.
The Love Album: Off the Grid marks Diddy’s first solo album since 2006’s Press Play, which featured hits like “Come to Me” with Nicole Scherzinger and “Last Night” with Keyshia Cole. Since then, he has released three collaborative projects: Last Train to Paris (2010) as Diddy — Dirty Money with vocalists Dawn Richard and Kalenna Harper; 11 11 (2014) with Guy Gerber; and MMM (Money Making Mitch) (2015) with The Family.
