Will LeBron James take the same footsteps as rapper Drake?
Many celebrities have delved into the world of live streaming over the years. Some of them like to do it as a hobby to engage and connect with their fans like the Brooklyn Nets star Ben Simmons or the soccer star Neymar Jr, while others treat it as a way to enjoy and earn big money easily like the music industry’s megastar Drake.
Drake went on his first live stream on Kick and broadcasted himself playing a roulette game on Stake.com. Since then, he has become more and more popular and is now one of the most followed streamers on the platform.

He signed up with Kick and made a deal with Stake, the parent company of Kick, to pay him $100 million a year.
