"It ain't going well for him": LeBron James schools $5 million rapper Doe Boy in Madden NFL after getting called out

LeBron James had the day off on Monday and will miss the LA Lakers' game on Tuesday with an ankle injury. He spent some time playing Madden NFL against rapper Doe Boy as he showed off his video game skills against his fellow Ohio native.

"The King" tweeted that he played against Doe Boy in a Madden NFL online head-to-head game. He was challenged by the $5 million-worth rapper and obliged to school him in one of his favorite video games to play.

"Playing @DoeBoyOfficial in Madden!" James wrote. "He called me out! Well, let me just say it ain't going well for him right now! OH REALLLLLLYYYYY!"

Doe Boy confirmed the head-to-head game on X, sharing that LeBron James used the Jacksonville Jaguars against him. Four-time NBA champion James dominated the rapper and his hometown Cleveland Browns, with the score being 43-8 with less than two minutes left in the fourth quarter.

It was complete domination by James, who loves to play Madden NFL during his free time. He loves the game so much that he was playing it on New Year's Day, which his wife Samantha James shared on Instagram.

"The King" also hinted about possibly streaming himself playing Madden NFL online before his 39th birthday. He asked his followers which platform should he start streaming. Top people from Kick, Twitch and YouTube made pitches about why LeBron should stream with their platforms.

The 29-year-old rapper also admitted that they weren't close at first, but they knew each other through mutual friends in the music industry. They began speaking to each other after the viral video.
