Fans were hoping for something better.

Baby Keem is an artist who has emerged as a potential superstar. Overall, his relation to Kendrick Lamar has certainly given him an edge over other artists. However, there is no denying he is talented. He has a great ear for production and his flows are unique. Furthermore, he has been getting Kendrick interested in other forms of rap, which is always a good thing. That said, his cultural impact is steadily growing and brands want to work with him. As it turns out, the feeling is, indeed, mutual.

We know this because new stills have been released of Baby Keem in NBA 2K24. Of course, 2K is the biggest basketball video game on the planet. It is one of those games that drops every single year.

He has on his signature black suit and tie with some shades on. Unfortunately, not everyone is convinced of the strength of this collaboration.
