LeBron James isn’t one to let petty remarks slide, and he made sure to address Kevin Gates’ recent comments about his wife, Savannah — well at least that’s what we think.
After the rapper shared some “late-night” thoughts on Instagram, questioning the way Savannah looks at her husband versus how “white women” supposedly react to him, the NBA legend‘s response was both smooth and unbothered. “Kings don’t concern themselves with the opinions of peasants,” he wrote on Sunday (April 20) followed by a playful, “Where to next Queen?!?! Let’s get it!”
Mrs. James also didn’t leave the moment unnoticed. The self-assured wife of the Lakers player took to social media, posting a Nicki Minaj reaction clip from 2019 where the rap queen shrugged off the negativity: “What? Um—chile, anyways, so.”
In a three-minute clip posted on his Instagram, Gates aired out his feelings on how Savannah allegedly behaves around LeBron. In the video, Gates expressed that he wasn’t feeling the way Savannah looks at her husband, even going so far as to compare her to a “jail warden.” He pointed out the contrast between how the women in the crowd, particularly white women, react to LeBron, saying they’re “d*cked out” by his presence.
Gates went on to describe moments during games when LeBron is exchanging handshakes with teammates, feeling as though Savannah’s energy comes off like a cop on duty rather than a “supportive wife.” He added, “You act like I’m bothering you, b*tch. 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.”
He doubled down saying that people might hate on his words, but suggested that Savannah “dive on the floor behind that ni**a” to show her passion for him. Despite Gates’ remarks, LeBron and Savannah have kept it classy and cute.
