Kevin Gates Sits Courtside at Lakers Game Following Comments About LeBron James’ Wife


Kevin Gates pulled up to the Los Angeles Lakers game at Crypto.com Arena on Tuesday night (April 22), which had social media buzzing on the heels of his controversial remarks about Lakers star LeBron James and his wife, Savannah James.

Over the weekend, Kevin Gates took to social media detailing a conversation he had with a friend regarding how he wouldn't want to switch places with LeBron James and explained that he didn't like the way James' wife looked at her superstar husband.

More from Billboard

"We was talking about how LeBron do the little handshake with Savannah. Then I came, maybe I notice s–t people don't notice. They were like, 'What if you had LeBron money?' He one of the greatest players to play the game, but I wouldn't want to trade places with him," Gates said. "I said because I don't like the way Savannah look at LeBron. I like the way them white women look at LeBron."

KG later compared Savannah to the "warden of the jail" and feels that she "polices" James. "I couldn't do it," he said. "It hurt me to see that… I love LeBron and I hate that he gotta go through that."

James typically doesn't respond to social media chatter involving him, but many fans took his Instagram post on Monday (April 21) as a possible dig at Kevin Gates.

"'Kings don't concern themselves with the opinions of peasants.' Where to next Queen?!?! Let's get it," he captioned the pair of photos, laughing with his wife.

Symba, Victoria Monét, D-Nice and more applauded James for showing love to Savannah. "[fire emoji] and that's that on that," Monét wrote in his comments.

Unlike when he confronted ESPN's Stephen A. Smith, James appeared to pay Gates and his girlfriend, Brittany Renner, no mind during game two against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

James and Luka Doncic led the Lakers to a much-needed 94-85 victory on Tuesday night to even the series at one game apiece. King James finished with 21 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists to help power the Lakers.
