LeBron James continues to be under the spotlight amid the NBA Finals. Weeks back, many had weighed in on James’ retirement rumors and cryptic messages. Meanwhile, LeBron geared up in France and flagged off 24 hours of LeMans Racing. Now, another rumor about the King has emerged. It, however, has nothing to do with James’ future. Rather, this rumor comes from a bygone era at the Miami Heat.
In 2014, it was rumored that James had an affair with a Miami-based social media influencer. Nine years later, the influencer has broken silence on the allegations. Unsurprisingly, her admission has unleashed chaos in the basketball community.
33-year-old influencer breaks silence on LeBron James rumor
During his days with the Miami Heat, LeBron James was linked to the social media influencer, Julieanna Goddard, known professionally as YesJulz. She was then working in Miami as a party promoter. YesJulz had even cited a Sprite Remix party for LeBron James back then. The rumors about YesJulz and LeBron James spread like wildfire after a popular Pusha T song suggested that James and YesJulz were having a sexual relationship.
Years later, the $3 million worth influencer has spoken up on the rumors about her and the basketball icon. YesJulz took to social media platforms and denied the rumor. “I have never in my entire life been alone with LeBron James,” Goddard said. “Period. … Clearly, we were friends, I was working in Miami I was one of the most popular partygoers and throwers in Miami,” said YesJulz. She then told that she was linked to one of James’ Miami teammates, without revealing the person’s name.
A Twitter handle named ‘Club Ambition’ has tweeted YesJulz’s recent admission. “Yesjulz denies the 2014 rumor that she slept with LeBron James, says she was with his friend but never him,” they captioned the tweet.
YesJulz fuels up chaos on NBA Twitter with her admission
While many fans seem not to care about YesJulz’s statement, some believe that she is true. Some, on the other hand, have taken those statements with a pinch of salt. The rumor was then fueled by the song Popular Demand (Popeyes) by Cam’ron, Clipse, and Pharrell Williams, Pusha T.
The song contains these lines, “Used to have this white b**** she looked like Madonna though, Heard that she f***** LeBron, but s*** I don’t know, Like that Bron-Bron? I had that a long time ago.’
Seemingly, a fan has brought Pusha T to the drama. “So you calling Pusha T a liar?” said the fan.
A fan couldn’t help but take the vlogger’s statements with a pinch of salt.
denying a rumor like 9 years after the fact makes it suspicious to me lol

Fan with a ‘truer words were never spoken’ kind of response.
Tbh it’s just like, as soon as it spreads that x famous woman slept with y famous man, the entire internet believes it. Any resistance from either famous party only reinforces the belief.
