LeBron James provides rappers with the ultimate co-sign when he quotes and plays their music on his Instagram page which boasts 45.9 million followers.
However, the NBA icon caused remorseful statements than resourceful promotion for 21 Savage’s new album I Am > I Was to their respective audiences.
James agitated whistleblowers when he played The Slaughter Gang boss’ song “ASMR” and posted a caption that quoted his polarizing lyric, “We been getting that Jewish money, everything is kosher,” on his own Instagram page on Saturday (December 22).
Following his game against the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday, LeBron apologized on ESPN for the upheaval in response to repeating the Jewish stereotype.
“Apologies, for sure, if I offended anyone,” James said. “That’s not why I chose to share that lyric. I always [post lyrics]. That’s what I do. I ride in my car, I listen to great music, and that was the byproduct of it.
Although, James filtered his apology by claiming he assumed the lyric was a “compliment” to aspire for becoming wealthy.
“So, I actually thought it was a compliment, and obviously it wasn’t through the lens of a lot of people. My apologies. It definitely was not the intent, obviously, to hurt anybody.”
The NBA decided not on Monday to punish the face of its league for the controversy.
On Christmas Day, 21 Savage tweeted his own apology for his “Jewish money” lyric in the same vein as James.
“The Jewish people I know are very wise with there money so that’s why I said we been gettin Jewish money,” 21 said.
“I never thought anyone would take offense I’m sorry if I offended everybody never my intention. I love all people.”

” Im a hoe too”! ass motherfucker
All this hypersensitivity shit… eventually it’s going to be a point where you cant say shit about anything. Freedom of speech is eroding right before our very eyes. Everybody wanna control what somebody else say. Stupid. Get a fuckin’ life people!!
Freedom of speech has never been any more free than now. Thats why you have complainer complaining. These artist and entertainers just dont want to lose fans so they avoid saying what they really mean, but the fact that you that you keep bitching about people bitching is exactly what makes this country free. No one is stoping you from getting buthurt over buthurt opinions, hence you are free to complain and not adhere to anyone’s opinion.
YOU are clearly missing the point. Attempting to offend is very unnecessary and child-like. And your own comment should apply to you more than anything else. The point of my comment is that our society, including you, are extremely hypersensitive to EVERYTHING anyone has to say about anything to the point that we as a society are going to strip ourselves of our own 1st amendment right. That is the starting point of killing freedom of expression. Had you thought about what I said the first time, maybe you wouldn’t have made such a misguided and attention-reaching opinion. But then again that’s what free speech is all about. Society is way too sensitive and people need to chill.
Yet the leader of the free world can grab women by the p$&&y and he gets elected as president. ??♂️
The fact that Lebron listens to this garbage is even worst. Probably just trying to be cool dad to kids and fans.
Mouth, South
House, mouse
That’s some straight up Dr Seuss shit
Hard times make hard men-Hard men make soft times-Soft times make soft men
If you are worried about oversensitivities dont worry. As soon as things start getting truly trying again it will even out.
These celebrities don’t wanna lose they endorsements
Savage is one ugly ass dude. He look like Kat William’s transexual daughter
Lmfao!!!!
The Goyim know!
apologise to your girl for calling her a bitch, don’t apologise for a lyric you meant.
I love seeing p.c culture get eaten by fellow p.cers.. Liberals 75 percent of the time have the right idea but mostly all hypocriticial which is why they always lose. They fail 2 realize noones perfect
Shut up, you run on the internet at 9am after Christmas to drink liberal tears? What a bitch, get a life
Wow. Is this really offensive? The world is becoming a giant PUSSY.
“There money” …
Good grammar and punctuation is the difference between “I helped my uncle, Jack, off the horse” and “I helped my uncle jack off the horse.”
In this case, it’s the difference between looking like you put more than 10 seconds into your apology or looking like a moron.
How dare he say that??? Are we living in the 3rd Reich again??? Shame on Lebron and that hoodlum 21 savage. It’s like sayinh I’ve been wearing tight Jean’s crushing my nuts I might sell some drugs to my own community I’m on my black man shii.
