The star is known for keeping a low profile on social media, with his Instagram page currently blank and having admitted in an interview this year: "if I feel I have to remove myself, I just remove myself". However, he was snapped on the pitch after the match, taking pictures with stars such as Eddie Nketiah alongside fellow rapper and Arsenal fan Baby Keem.
Many fans reacted to the news, with some pointing out the fact that Lemar has previously been pictured wearing Tottenham shirts and is cited as a fan of the Gunners' North London rivals. Others made references to a former viral Twitter exchange which dates back to Arsenal's pursuit of the similarly named Thomas Lemar of Atletico Madrid.
Lamar joins a growing list of Arsenal fans, with Logan Paul having joined the ranks of celebrity supporters due to his partnership with KSI and the club through their PRIME drink. In the build-up to the match, Paul was challenged to a bet by his brother, Jake, with his Liverpool-supporting younger brother bound to have been disappointed by the weekend's result.
