Over the last few weeks, LeBron James' cultural influence reached another sphere outside of sports when his name and likeness infiltrated the music world. Remixes of popular songs started popping up on TikTok with the creators replacing parts of the tracks with references to the legendary NBA player. The talented fans making these concoctions now have official confirmation that James has heard the LeBronified creations.

Last night (March 31), the four-time champion was asked by a FOX Sports reporter if he has seen the trend. He acknowledged how unavoidable the remixes have been, saying with a laugh, "Yeah, I mean it's almost impossible [not to]. My youngest son Bryce actually showed me one yesterday."

James seems to be amused by the movement, adding, "We got a good laugh out of it. There's quite a few out there."

Another person in the room asked if it was "the choir one" he saw, but James said it was "the one that went LeBron, LeBron, LeBron James."

If there's one thing this trend has proven, it's that LeBron James' fanbase has a superb sense of humor. The reactions that followed his acknowledgment were just as funny, as one TikTok comment read, "He knows we exist!! My glorious king." Another user complimented the journalistic skills of the person who asked Bron, writing, "Finally someone asking the real questions," as someone on X echoed, "Bro which ever reporter asked him that question is reporter of the year."

The social media movement was kicked off with an R&B tune that featured a male vocalist crooning "LeBron, LeBron, LeBron James" over a smooth instrumental. That creation went viral, spawning popular remixes to hits like "Man In the Mirror" by Michael Jackson (which turned into "Man On The Lakers"), "F**k You" by Cee Lo Green, "Ain't It Fun" by Paramore, and plenty more. Although the songs started off as jokes, many of the entries have displayed impressive skills from their respective creators, showing off their talents in production, vocals, songwriting, and creativity.

Bron is currently locked in as the race to the playoffs continues. The Los Angeles Lakers are currently 46-29, with their next match up taking place on Thursday (April 3) against the Golden State Warriors. If he ever needs some locker room tunes, at least we know now that Bryce could send him a few.

Check out some of the best LeBronified remixes below and watch Bron's reaction above.

NBA Rumors: LeBron James' Son Bronny Is on Draft Boards of 'Multiple Teams'

Chris Coduto/Getty Images Bronny James' USC team has struggled this season, but that reportedly hasn't stopped the NBA interest in the son of legend LeBron James. "When I talk to people around the league, he's on the draft boards of multiple teams," Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium reported Thursday: Charania noted teams around the league believe he is "further along" on the defensive side of the ball than the offensive side, which makes performances like Wednesday's all the more important. The USC freshman finished with 11 points, six assists and five rebounds while shooting 5-of-11 from the field in one of his best offensive showings of the season in a loss to Arizona. The only game that he scored more points in was a Dec. 30 loss to Oregon State when he finished with 15 on 6-of-11 shooting from the field. Perhaps most importantly, James played a season-high 30 minutes against the Wildcats on Wedn...

They were two young stars with unique and special abilities on the basketball court. They had recently played in a high-attention scholastic contest against each other. They were both selected in the same draft. The LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony rivalry was supposed to be the best individual rivalry since Magic and Bird. But while the relationship between Bird and Johnson is dramatized in a new Broadway play , Anthony and James will meet for the 15th time in their careers and do so without much fanfare. James and Anthony first met in a USA developmental camp in 2001 . Much like how Johnson raved about Bird after they played together on a college All-Star team playing in an international tournament, James couldn’t stop talking about Anthony. The two squared off in a high school showcase game the following year that pitted the player regarded as the best senior in the country (Anthony) against the one that was the best junior in the country (James), a game Anthony’s team wo...

"So You Think You Can Dance" season 18 ended the first stage of the competition on Monday night, March 18, with the last dance hopefuls looking for a spot in the choreography round. So far the bar has been set pretty high by standout performances from dancers representing a variety of dance styles, shapes, sizes and ability levels. So who stood out among the last crop of contestants? Did the show save the best for last? "We've put 25 people through," said judge Allison Holker at the start of the show. She singled out contemporary dancer Braylon Browner and gymnast Dakayla Wilson as standouts from the first two days of auditions. Comfort Fedoke agreed that Wilson is capable of anything a professional choreographer could throw at her. Maksim Chmerkovskiy was especially impressed by contemporary dancer Easton Magliarditi . But "there's so many other things outside of dance that we're also looking at." More from GoldDerby SEE ...
