Kevin Gates seems to be caught in a bit of beef with LeBron James after dissing the NBA baller’s wife, Savannah.
The turmoil started over the weekend when Gates hopped on Instagram Saturday (April 19) to share his thoughts on the couple’s marriage. Gates criticized Savannah for the way she conducts herself out in public with LeBron.
“He’s one of the greatest players to ever play the game, but I wouldn’t want to trade places with him,” Gates said in a video. “Because I don’t like the way Savannah look at LeBron. I like the way them white women look at Lebron. As soon he walks out there, they just be like … They be d—ked out. But I notice, when he go to do the handshake with the main player on his team … you act like I’m bothering you, b—h. I’m the greatest player in the world — one of ’em … And you act like the warden of the jail, like you came here to police me. … I couldn’t do it, bruh. When I been around that dude, his spirit is so loving and giving. It hurt me. It hurt me to see that … You dive on the floor behind that n—a, man!”
On Sunday (April 20), LeBron posted an Instagram photo of himself with his wife, writing in the caption: “Kings don’t concern themselves with the opinions of peasants. Where to next Queen?!?! Let’s get it!”
Gates appeared to take this as a response to his opinion. He posted another video on Instagram Sunday, writing in the caption, “@kingjames, I’m way less than a peasant, im a simple servant of #Allah and I love you.”
“The truth hurts, but it heals. Bron, I love you ’cause you my n—a and I already know she was like, ‘You gonna let him say that!’” Gates said in the actual video. “As long as you being celebrated, that’s all I care about you. I don’t care if I gotta fall out with somebody that I love to get the results.”
LeBron has yet to respond to Gates, who himself just announced that he’s dating model Brittany Renner. Billboard has reached out to James for comment.
