Rapper Kevin Gates went viral on Sunday for saying some weird things about Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James' wife, Savannah James.
Gates said he doesn't like the way Savannah looks at LeBron and likes the way white women look at the NBA legend.
LeBron seemingly responded to Gates by posting two pictures of him and his wife with the caption, "Kings don't concern themselves with the opinion of peasants."
LeBron will clearly always stick up for his family. He went after Stephen A. Smith after the ESPN pundit questioned his decision as a father to let Bronny James play in the NBA.
Bronny has been bashed a lot in the media and on social media simply because of who his dad is.
Well, count one former NBA guard who thinks all the LeBron hate is "weird."
Former Milwaukee Bucks point guard Brandon Jennings posted on X on Sunday that the hate LeBron and his family are receiving is getting out of hand.
The LeBron James hate is getting weird man. The Bronny stuff now the wife!!!
it’s like people be obsessed. It’s Kind of weird yall— Brandon Jennings (@Tuff__Crowd) April 21, 2025
LeBron has been in the public eye since he was in high school. Incredibly, the leading scorer in NBA history has never gotten in trouble with the law or had a major controversy surrounding him.
LeBron took time out of his busy schedule to post about his wife on Sunday. Now, he has to focus on the Minnesota Timberwolves, the team that holds a 1-0 lead over his Lakers in the first round of the playoffs.
LeBron and the Lakers got blown out by 22 points on Saturday, losing home-court advantage in the series-opener. The King scored 19 points in 36 minutes but didn't look like his usual "playoff" self.
It will be interesting to see how LeBron and the Lakers respond in Game 2.
