Jayson Tatum, a star for the Boston Celtics, was recently pictured at a high-profile event with emerging rapper S:-:e:-:xyy Red, a sign of his rising popularity off the court. This interaction comes just weeks after the NBA player made a surprise visit to Drake’s concert as a special guest.

Tatum, who averaged an outstanding 30.1 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game last season, is making the most of his free time before training camp begins next month. His basketball prowess, coupled with his increased visibility in the entertainment world, is a clear indication that the young Celtics star is embracing his status as a pop culture icon.

At the event, while Tatum was all smiles, some keen observers noted that the basketball player’s closed fist might suggest he felt out of place or possibly uncomfortable. However, such body language interpretations are purely speculative, and without a statement from Tatum himself, it’s hard to figure out his true feelings from a single picture.
