- Warriors. Steph Curry and Jaylen Brown spark fan speculation after t Mr Beast cameo
Golden State Warriors player Stephen Curry experienced a moment as common as it is human: being a fan and going unnoticed. During the BottleRock 2025 festival in Napa, California, Curry stood front row, fully immersed in the concert of rising pop star Benson Boone. Phone in hand, with a genuine smile and full fan energy, the NBA legend recorded and sang along with excitement as Boone performed his hit "Beautiful Things"... but never turned to see him.
Did Boone really ignore him?
On social media, several fans pointed out the curious moment when Curry seemingly tried to catch Boone's attention without success. But rather than a snub, it seems more likely that Boone was simply fully absorbed in his performance. At just 21, Boone has already graced stages like Coachella, earned a Grammy, and been widely praised for both his vocal talent and magnetic presence on stage. In his most recent performance, he even did a backflip and ed Queen's Brian May to sing "Bohemian Rhapsody." The intensity of his shows suggests an artist deeply focused, probably unaware of who was in the crowd.
In viral clips making the rounds online, Curry looks relaxed, happy, singing and recording while his wife Ayesha Curry stands beside him, equally thrilled. The couple appeared down-to-earth and joyful, momentarily stepping away from the spotlight of sports and fame.
Curry: between music and business
Beyond attending as a fan, Curry was also at the event with a business purpose: to promote his new whiskey brand, Gentleman's Cut Bourbon. This launch marks his foray into the beverage world, expanding his presence beyond the court. Though Curry is known in the NBA for his precision and strategic play, off the court he's shown interest in a range of ventures from cookbooks with his wife to producing film and TV content.
The pair, considered one of the most beloved duos in the sports-entertainment world, looked like they were enjoying a much-needed break. After an intense season with the Warriors, Curry had previously mentioned his plan to rest up before returning full force for the next one. And what better way to relax than with one of pop's most promising voices setting the mood?
A moment that humanizes
The clip of Curry going unnoticed struck a chord with fans for its authenticity. It's a reminder that no matter how famous you are, we all turn into fans when iring someone we love. And that even in the bright lights and chaos of a live show, even stars can be overlooked.
Will Boone realize who he missed once he sees the viral video? Could this lead to a shoutout, a duet, or some unexpected crossover between the two? For now, Curry walks away with a unique memory... even if it didn't come with the acknowledgment he might have hoped for.
