In the latest whirlwind of controversy surrounding NBA legend LeBron James, allegations of infidelity have resurfaced, this time with some startling accusations involving the Canadian rapper Drake. The drama began to unfold when DJ Akademiks, a popular YouTuber and podcaster, made explosive claims during a live stream that LeBron James had been cheating on his wife, Savannah James, with Drake's alleged facilitation.
Akademiks alleged that LeBron and Drake would often go on "two-mans," a term suggesting they would engage in encounters with women together. He claimed that Drake was instrumental in arranging these meetings, stating, "You've been cheating on your goddamn wife Drake used to facilitate the hosts and basically, essentially you can't dance to a song about him being a pedophile. He used to supply you with the bitches!"[3][4][5].
These allegations gained traction following the release of Drake's track "Fighting Irish," which some believe contains subtle digs at LeBron James, particularly in the context of Drake's ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar. LeBron's attendance at Kendrick Lamar's "The Pop Out: Ken & Friends" concert, where he was seen enjoying Lamar's music, further fueled the narrative that there is tension between LeBron and Drake[3][4].
One of the individuals dragged into this drama is social media personality YesJulz, who has been the subject of long-standing rumors about an affair with LeBron James. YesJulz has firmly denied these rumors, calling them "baseless" and expressing her admiration for LeBron as her favorite player. She also praised Savannah James and their family, stating, "Love her. I think she’s amazing... They have a beautiful family and I’m really f***ing tired of this stain being put on my name."[1][2].
Despite the serious nature of these allegations, neither LeBron James nor his wife Savannah has responded publicly. The lack of evidence to support Akademiks' claims has led many to question the validity of the accusations. Internet users have been quick to react, with some expressing skepticism about Akademiks' credibility and others speculating that Savannah might already be aware of the rumors[4].
The situation has also highlighted the complex web of relationships and feuds within the entertainment and sports worlds. Drake and LeBron James were once close friends, but their relationship appears to have deteriorated, particularly after LeBron attended Kendrick Lamar's concert and was seen rapping to his music. Drake unfollowed LeBron on social media in October 2024, which many believe was a result of LeBron's perceived siding with Kendrick Lamar in their ongoing feud[4][5].
As the drama continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how this will impact LeBron James' public image and his relationships with those involved. For now, the allegations remain unconfirmed, leaving fans and observers to speculate about the truth behind these explosive claims.
