YesJulz Breaks Silence on LeBron James Affair Rumors
Social media influencer YesJulz has finally addressed the long-standing rumors about her alleged affair with LeBron James, putting an end to the ongoing speculation. While the gossip has been swirling for years, YesJulz recently made it clear that the allegations are unfounded and baseless.
The Viral Moment That Reignited the Drama
On January 7, the Los Angeles Lakers faced a crushing defeat against the Dallas Mavericks, losing 97-118. Despite the loss, LeBron James pulled off an incredible dunk that went viral across social media platforms. Among the flood of reactions, YesJulz’s post, featuring five exhale emojis, caught significant attention.
Her post didn’t sit well with fans, many of whom connected it to lyrics from Drake’s “Irish Freestyle”, a now-deleted track where he appears to criticize both LeBron and Kendrick Lamar.
One fan commented:
“This is the worst possible time for you to do this LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO,” referencing the tension between Drake and LeBron.
In the song, Drake allegedly addresses the NBA superstar with lines like:
“And n***** cried the blues for you, sayin’ it wasn’t malicious/ Talkin’ ’bout we family, well, I’m not the cousin to visit/ God forbid we ever got to tarnish your public image.”
This fueled speculation that Drake might be alluding to his friendship fallout with LeBron and rumors about a potential affair involving YesJulz.
DJ Akademiks Adds Fuel to the Fire
During a livestream, DJ Akademiks claimed that Drake had previously protected LeBron’s reputation by refraining from leaking an alleged tape involving the basketball star and YesJulz.
“LeBron! You and Drake used to go on two mans. You’ve been cheating on your goddn wife, and Drake used to facilitate the hs,” Akademiks said.
These allegations intensified the spotlight on YesJulz, who quickly became embroiled in the narrative.
YesJulz Denies Allegations
Despite being dragged into the drama, YesJulz dismissed the rumors as “baseless” and expressed her unwavering support for LeBron as a player.
“You really think I give af about ya’lls baseless rumors? Bron is my fav player and I will always celebrate his wins!” she replied to a fan who suggested she should stay quiet.
YesJulz also praised LeBron’s wife, Savannah James, and their family.
“Love her. I think she’s amazing. They have a beautiful family, and I’m really tired of this stain being put on my name,” she said during a livestream.
A Decade of Speculation
The rumors between LeBron and YesJulz trace back to 2014, a year after LeBron married his high school sweetheart, Savannah James. Since then, the James family has grown, with three children: Bronny Jr., 20, Bryce, 17, and Zhuri, 10.
While LeBron and Savannah have never addressed the affair rumors directly, YesJulz continues to shut down the claims, calling them baseless and reaffirming her respect for the couple.
The Bigger Picture
The resurfaced drama not only highlights the pressures of living under the public eye but also the challenges of navigating fame amidst rumors and controversies. For LeBron, a celebrated athlete with an iconic legacy, staying focused on the game remains his top priority, while Savannah continues to stand as his unwavering pillar of support.
