Music artists rocked the NBA All-Star’s half-time
Several celebrities of the music industry paid their visit to the NBA All-Star event. They rocked the stage as the sports teams took rest, during the half time. Chance the Rapper took the lead and started things off with No Problems. Lil Wayne eventually joined the show to sing his part of the verse. Hot Shower was the next song to be heard by the fans. DJ Khaled and Quavo then came on the stage to sing I’m The One. I Was A Rock was next to be heard and had several images of the late Kobe Bryant on the screen.
Kobe Bryant was honoured at the game event, along with his daughter Gianna Bryant, by musicians, sportsmen, and the audience alike. He had passed away just three weeks before the game event, and the captains of this year’s teams, LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo, paid their tributes to the late sports player in their own ways. Here is the video of the half-time performance.
