Kevin Gates made waves as he sat front row at the Lakers game, seemingly calling out LeBron James and his marriage dynamics.
On April 22, Kevin Gates grabbed attention when he appeared courtside at the Lakers’ game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. What made his presence even more interesting was his company, Brittany Renner, and the lingering tension between him and LeBron James.
Just days before, Gates made headlines with his controversial comments about LeBron’s marriage. He criticized how LeBron’s wife, Savannah, acts publicly with her husband. Gates mentioned, ‘He’s one of the greatest players, but I wouldn’t want to trade places with him because of how Savannah looks at LeBron. I like the way those women look at him on the court.’
He didn’t stop there. Gates drew comparisons between Savannah and other women, commenting on the admiration others show LeBron. He remarked that while other women seem amazed, Savannah acts as if she’s there to police him. ‘You not dicked out like these women!’ Gates exclaimed, expressing his discomfort with how she handles her public appearances with LeBron.
LeBron, showing his royal demeanor, swiftly responded. He shared photos with Savannah on social media, stating, ‘Kings don’t concern themselves with the opinions of peasants. Where to next Queen?!?! Let’s get it!’, dismissing Gates’ comments with class.
Not backing down, Gates replied with an Instagram video, saying, ‘I’m a simple servant of #Allah and I love you,’ addressing LeBron directly. He continued, ‘The truth hurts, but it heals. Bron, I love you cause you my n-gga.’ His message seemed to hold a mix of critique and admiration for LeBron.
Savannah, too, appeared to send a subtle response on her Instagram. She posted a video of Nicki Minaj, seemingly bemused by Gates’ words, adding a layer of humor to the tension.
Despite the heated words exchanged, LeBron remained unbothered during the game. The Lakers emerged victorious over the Timberwolves, proving that Gates’ presence wasn’t a distraction.
While Kevin Gates might have stirred the pot with his comments, LeBron James and the Lakers continued to focus on their game, securing a win. The drama off the court didn’t seem to phase LeBron’s performance, showing his focus and resilience.
