LeBron James seemingly responded to Kevin Gates’ recent comments about his wife, Savannah James.
Gates shared some “late night” thoughts on Instagram about how he wouldn’t trade places with the Lakers star because his wife doesn’t gawk at him the same way white women supposedly do.
“’Kings don’t concern themselves with the opinions of peasants,’” LeBron wrote on IG on Sunday, following Gates’ comments. “Where to next Queen?!?! Let’s get it!”
Savannah also appeared to issue a response of her own with a Nicki Minaj reaction clip circa 2019 where she says, “What? Um—chile, anyways, so.”
The couples’ posts come after a three-minute clip shared to his Instagram, in which Gates said he likened Savannah to a jail warden based on how she acts around her husband.
“I don’t like the way Savannah look at LeBron,” Gates said. “I like the way them white women look at LeBron. Like, when as soon as he walked out there, they just be like, ‘Oh oh oh.’ They be dicked out.”
He continued, “But it’s like I noticed when he go do the handshake with the main player on his team, which is that, it’s like ‘You act like I’m bothering you, bitch.’ Like, I’m the greatest player in the world—one of them… And I’m in the playoffs, and you act like the warden of the jail,” Gates added. “Like, you came here to police me. Like, you not dicked out like these white women just dicked out about me in here.”
Further into the video, Gates admitted that “a lot of people” will hate on what he said but suggests that Savannah should “dive on the floor behind that n***a.”
“When I’ve been around that dude, that dude just his spirit so loving and giving like, it hurt me to see that,” he added.
