Lakers star LeBron James apologizes for ‘Jewish money’ post on Instagram story
If you’re one of the 45.8 million people who follow LeBron James on Instagram, you’re well aware of how @KingJames loves to share song lyrics on his profile.
On Sunday, the Los Angeles Lakers star apologized for a controversial lyric he shared on his Instagram story from the song “ASMR” by hip-hop artist 21 Savage.
“We been getting that Jewish money, Everything is Kosher,” James wrote.
“Apologies, for sure, if I offended anyone,” James told ESPN after the Lakers’ 107-99 loss to the Grizzlies. “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. 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 Action Network’s Darren Rovell posted a screen grab of James’ story and questioned the four-time MVP’s decision to post the lyrics.
ESPN reported the NBA has no plans to fine James for the post.
