Kevin Gates popped up front and center at a Lakers game with his new boo Brittany Renner to seemingly continue trolling LeBron James.
Gates sat courtside at the Crypto Arena on Tuesday (April 22) as the Lakers took on (and defeated) the Minnesota Timberwolves.
His appearance comes just days after he’d offered his unsolicited thoughts on the James’ marriage and criticized the way Bron’s wife Savannah acts in public around her husband.
“He’s one of the greatest players to ever play the game, but I wouldn’t want to trade places with him,” he said. “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 [gawks in amazement]. They be in dicked out.
“But I notice, when he go to do the handshake with the main player on his team, which is… that, you act like I’m bothering you, bitch. I’m the greatest player in the world — one of them. And you act like the warden of the jail, like you came here to police me. You not dicked out like these white women!
“I couldn’t do it, bruh. His spirit is so loving and giving. It hurt me to see that. You dive on the floor behind that n-gga, man!”

LeBron quickly hit back at Gates, posting a number of pictures of himself with his wife on social media and commenting: “Kings don’t concern themselves with the opinions of peasants. Where to next Queen?!?! Let’s get it!”
The “2 Phones” rapper proceeded to snap back at the NBA legend, writing in an Instagram video: “@kingjames, I’m way less than a peasant, im a simple servant of #Allah and I love you.”
He also said to LeBron in the clip: “The truth hurts, but it heals. Bron, I love you ’cause you my n-gga and I already know she was like, ‘You gonna let him say that!’
“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.
Savannah James, meanwhile, appeared to clap back at Gates’ derogatory comments by posting a video on her Instagram Stories of a bemused Nicki Minaj saying, “What? Ummm, chile. Anyway, so…”
Whether or not Gates’ presence affected LeBron remains to be seen, but clearly it didn’t do too much as the team took home the W!
