LeBron James Seemingly Claps Back at Kevin Gates for Disrespecting Wife Savannah
LeBron James isn’t letting anyone play foul when it comes to his queen.
The Los Angeles Lakers star made headlines over the weekend after seemingly responding to Kevin Gates’ resurfaced comments about his wife, Savannah James. In a clip, Gates claimed he “wouldn’t trade places with LeBron” because of how Savannah allegedly “looks at him.”
The remark sparked widespread backlash online, with many pointing out the unnecessary shade toward a couple known for keeping things elegant and low-key.
Not long after, the four-time NBA champion posted a cosy photo of himself and Savannah with a caption that read “Kings don’t concern themselves with the opinions of peasants. Where to next Queen?!?! Let’s get it!”
While LeBron’s post didn’t name Gates, fans quickly connected the dots, praising the athlete for defending his marriage with grace and confidence.
One Instagram user wrote, “This man defends every member of his family to the end. Can always respect that no matter what you think of him.” While another person commented, “I already knew he wasn’t gonna let that sh— slide.”
The Jameses have long been admired for keeping their relationship solid and away from the spotlight, but when it comes time to speak up, LeBron does so with the kind of quiet strength that leaves no room for doubt.
