Damian Lillard dropping new rap song has NBA fans in frenzy

Aside from being an NBA All-Star, Damian Lillard has also crossed over into the world of music. Over the past few years, he's released multiple songs and albums.

On Friday morning, Lillard released a new song. Since he is one of the hottest topics in the NBA right now, fans were quick to react. Two weeks ago, the star guard informed the Portland Trail Blazers that he'd like to be traded.

The title of the track is called 'The Way It Goes' Fans were quick to highlight the trade request when commenting about the song's release:

When Lillard first requested a trade, the Miami Heat were the frontrunners to acquire him. Mainly because of his relationship with Bam Adebayo. Other teams have expressed interest in acquiring Lillard, but he and his representatives have made it clear where he wants to end up.

While most of the comments had to do with Lillard leaving the Portland Trail Blazers for Miami, some fans felt differently. They were doing their best to get the star guard to change his mind and remain with the franchise.

As of now, there is still no telling how this saga will play out. The Heat remain interested in getting a deal done, but Portland hasn't been impressed with their offers so far. They understand Lillard's desire but also want to make sure the organization gets a proper return to build for the future.
