When a former NBA player like Brandon Jennings calls out public obsession with LeBron James , you know things have gone too far. From his wife Savannah to his son Bronny, the entire James family has been pulled into a whirlwind of criticism. Jennings isn’t holding back—and neither is LeBron. But what sparked this latest round of drama?
Brandon Jennings says hate towards his family is becoming obsessive and strangeBrandon Jennings took to social media to express his concerns over the increasing negativity directed at LeBron James and his family. He stated, "The LeBron James hate is getting weird man. The Bronny stuff now the wife!!! It’s like people be obsessed. It’s kind of weird y’all." Jennings' comments highlight the growing trend of public figures facing unwarranted criticism, especially when it extends to their families.
The drama kicked off when rapper Kevin Gates commented on Savannah James, implying she had a controlling gaze towards LeBron. LeBron then took to Instagram to respond, "Kings don’t concern themselves with the opinions of peasants. Where to next Queen?!?! Let’s get it! 👸🏾🖤️"
This incident isn't unique. Their son, Bronny James, has also been in the public eye. Selected as the No. 55 pick in the NBA Draft, Bronny has dealt with doubts about his position in the league. Despite achieving a career-high of 30 points in a game with the South Bay Lakers, some critics are still uncertain about his readiness for the NBA. LeBron has weighed in on the matter, saying, "My son, who’s a 19-year-old, getting a lot of animosity & hatred toward him, while he’s just a kid trying to live out his dream. There’s a very small number of men & women that actually get to live out their dream of playing a professional sport. We have grown men & women out here doing whatever they can to try to make sure that does not happen. That is the weirdest thing in the world."
