YesJulz, a prominent social media personality and entrepreneur, has once again addressed long-standing rumors about an alleged affair with NBA superstar LeBron James.
“You really think I give af about ya’ll’s baseless rumors? Bron is my fav player, and I will always celebrate his wins!”
These rumors, which date back to 2014 during LeBron’s time with the Miami Heat, have resurfaced amidst the fallout from Drake’s recent song, “Fighting Irish Freestyle,” and DJ Akademiks’ controversial comments. In response, YesJulz has categorically denied the allegations, calling them “baseless” and expressing frustration over the continued narrative.
The speculation around YesJulz and LeBron James first surfaced in 2014, shortly after LeBron married his high school sweetheart, Savannah James. Over the years, the rumors have occasionally resurfaced, often fueled by social media conjecture. Julz has repeatedly denied the claims, emphasizing her respect for Savannah and the James family.
In a 2023 Instagram Live session, YesJulz directly addressed the allegations. The rumors gained renewed traction after the release of Drake’s “Fighting Irish Freestyle,” which many interpreted as taking shots at LeBron amidst Drake’s ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar. In the song, Drake seemingly alludes to betrayal and disloyalty, themes that some fans connected to LeBron’s perceived alignment with Kendrick.
DJ Akademiks added fuel to the fire by claiming on his livestream that Drake had facilitated LeBron’s alleged infidelity during their trips to Canada. Akademiks’ allegations were met with widespread skepticism, as he is known for making provocative, unverified statements.
Amid the resurfaced rumors, YesJulz took to social media to shut down the claims. After praising one of LeBron’s highlight-reel dunks on Twitter with five exhale emojis, a fan suggested she was adding fuel to the controversy given the timing.
Her response reiterated her stance that there was no truth to the allegations and that her admiration for LeBron is strictly professional. Julz has consistently maintained that while she briefly dated someone from LeBron’s circle, she has never been romantically involved with the NBA legend.
Neither LeBron James nor his wife, Savannah, has commented on the rumors or Drake’s lyrics. Known for maintaining a private family life, the James family has generally avoided engaging with speculative gossip.
YesJulz’s firm denial reflects her frustration with the continued speculation surrounding her and LeBron. Despite her repeated clarifications, the rumors persist, demonstrating the enduring power of celebrity gossip in the age of social media. With no evidence to support the allegations, the claims remain unsubstantiated—a narrative that Julz and her supporters hope will eventually fade.
