Damian Lillard opens up about rapping and its impact on his game

As serious as Damian Lillard has been on the basketball court, he also takes his rapping skills very seriously. However, for the NBA star, both rapping and basketball are two different parts of his life, and they are not related to each other.

In 2021, in conversation with REVOLT, Lillard was asked if rapping helped him to play better basketball. The Blazers star said that rapping helped him focus on something other than hooping and what came with it.

"I don't think it helps with my hooping, but it helps keep my mind right — have something else to balance it out," Lillard said. "When you focus on basketball, what the media's saying, winning and losing, playing well and not playing well, it can be a lot. It helps give me something else to have my mind [on], something else to feel good about."

Lillard also said that he took his identity as a rapper very seriously. He said that he didn't want music lovers to think of him as a basketball player who rapped, but just a rapper.

Damian Lillard is set to miss the 2025-26 season with an Achilles injury he suffered during the playoffs earlier this year. He will return in the Blazers jersey in the 2026-27 season.
