LeBron James Responds to Kevin Gates’ Savannah Comments
After Gates took aim at Savannah, LeBron shared an Instagram post featuring a photo of him and his wife on April 20. And the accompanying caption to the picture was … interesting to say the least.
“’Kings don’t concern themselves with the opinions of peasants,” LeBron said in the post.
He also added: Where to next Queen?!?! Let’s get it!”
The matriarch of the James family also appeared to respond to Gates. She took to social media, posting a 2019 clip of Nicki Minaj where the rap star says “What? Um—chile, anyways, so,” appearing to brush off Gates’ comments.
The entire debacle between Gates and the James family stems from a recent video that the rap star posted to his social media account. In the clip, Gates notes that he takes issue with the way the Savannah looks at LeBron compared to the way that “the white women” do.
“I don’t like the way Savannah looks at LeBron. I like the way those white women look at LeBron. Like, when as soon as he walked out there, they just be like, ‘Oh oh oh.’ They be d****d out,” he said.
Gates also added: “But it’s like I noticed when he goes do the handshake with the main player on his team, which is that, it’s like ‘You act like I’m bothering you, b***h. Like, I’m the greatest player in the world—one of them … And I’m in the playoffs, and you act like the warden of the jail. Like, you came here to police me. Like, you not d****d out like these white women just d****d about me in here.”
Gates ended his comments noting how “hurt” it makes him to see how Savannah Looks at LeBron.
