Luka Doncic Gets Name-Dropped by Kendrick Lamar—Is He Officially L.A. Royalty?

Luka Doncic is embracing his new Los Angeles identity—and now, Kendrick Lamar just made it official! The Lakers’ newest superstar just got a shoutout in a track from Playboi Carti’s latest album, I AM MUSIC.

Kendrick Puts Luka in the Rap Game

In the song “GOOD CREDIT”, K. Dot raps:
“The numbers is nothing, the money is nothing, I’ve really been him I promise, see Kenny been heavy out west and I carry the weight n***, I’m Luka Doncic.”*

For Luka, this has to be a surreal moment, especially considering his past admiration for Drake, who just wrapped up a highly publicized feud with Lamar.

Luka’s Love for Drake—Will He Switch Sides?

Doncic has previously called Drake one of his favorite artists, and the Toronto rapper even once gave Luka a shoutout by rocking a Mavericks jersey labeled “HookahDoncic”. Now that Kendrick has put him in a bar, will Luka rethink his musical loyalties?

L.A. Welcomes Its New Star

Since being traded to the Lakers, Luka has wasted no time making an impact in the city:
✅ Covered parking fees for fans at Crypto.com Arena.
✅ Donated $500K to L.A. wildfire victims.
✅ Received a mural in his honor from die-hard Lakers fans.

Luka’s arrival in Hollywood just got even more legendary, and with Kendrick’s stamp of approval, it’s safe to say he’s officially one of L.A.’s own.
