Yeah, I'm not aware of a sustained effort on the part of Kirk to go after Lecrae, but Kirk, who already has a large platform, was speaking to a famous preacher in front of a megachurch, so he's wielding a not insignificant stick.
Lecrae doesn't seem to play churches much these days:

but he does tour with a bunch of other Christian artists and Kirk is directly undermining the guy's fanbase.
The way I sort of see it, the overlap in fans between Lecrae and Charlie Kirk was probably already pretty slim to begin with in terms of the numbers, so there's a solid chance that the type of people who love Kirk's content and follow him probably weren't Lecrae fans to begin with (given his stances on issues)
And on the flip side, someone who's a fan of Lecrae probably isn't getting their marching orders from someone like Charlie Kirk.
Seems more like Kirk was playing to an audience that already wanted to hear him bash democrats (as he's been known to do) by speaking with a pastor who's also had a history of bashing liberal principles.
...I mean, that IS the reason why people hire Charlie Kirk for speaking events in the first place. It's not for "astute political wisdom", it's so that people can go see someone who can confidently deliver rehearsed talking points for issues that they already know they agree with him on, and recite those lines, themselves, in discussions with other people.
I've used this analogy a few times in the past, but people go to see guys like Charlie Kirk, Milo Yiannopoulos, and Dinesh D'Souza speak for the same reason vegans go to listen to lecturers at "Veg-Fest" events...it's not because they're honestly expecting to learn something new, or have their views challenged in any way, it's so they can learn new "comebacks" to use as rebuttals when ideological opponents challenge them in their own personal lives.
