LeBron James is undoubtedly one of the greatest players to ever play in the NBA. He is currently playing in the 20th NBA season of his career. Over the years, thanks to his amazing ability to play basketball, James has amassed a huge fan following.

Like millions of others, renowned rapper Rihanna is among the biggest fans of LeBron James. Rihanna has always supported James. Be it making fun of Josh Hart after getting dunked on by LeBron or simply congratulating the King after breaking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s all-time scoring record.

Just in case fans think that Rihanna only recently became a fan of James, they cannot be more wrong. The rapper has been a huge fan of James for several years now.


Rihanna’s Savage Response To Heckling Warriors Fans

The Golden State Warriors faced off against the Cleveland Cavaliers at the 2017 NBA Finals. LeBron James and the Cavaliers couldn’t match the level of the Warriors during Game 1 of the series. Rihanna was present courtside for the game, and after it was over, the pop star passed by the Cavaliers’ locker room.

During her walk, some Warriors fans were heckling and ultimately trying to disrespect James. Instead of ignoring the hecklers, Rihanna gave a savage response to the fans. One they will remember for ages.

“It doesn’t matter b***h. The king is still the king.”

Rihanna made sure to make fans understand that even if they try to bring down James, he will still remain the King. It is great to see one of the greatest artists of all time supporting one of the greatest athletes of all time.

Rihanna praising James doesn’t mean the current Los Angeles Lakers superstar is not a fan of the pop star. In fact, James had nothing but praise for Rihanna’s most recent performance at Super Bow LVII.
