Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James found himself yet again tangled up in Diddy controversy and memes as a heckler called him out, live and in person, for being part of the infamous rapper’s parties.
Away from playing in the NBA court, Lebron James went to the SoFi Statidum on Sunday to watch an NFL game between the Los Angeles Rams and the Philadelphia Eagles. This was only after their loss to the Denver Nuggets. James even got a suite that was around $35,000. However, it still did not stop a heckler from getting close to him and, when they had the chance, recording him on camera while calling out to him.
The heckler got LeBron on camera and started shouting at him.
“Bron!” the heckler shouted. “We know you was them at Diddy parties, n****! We know you was there, we know you was at them Diddy parties!”

James did not patronize the heckler and simply ignored him completely. The SoFi Stadium security eventually stepped in and removed the heckler from the area.
How Did LeBron James Get Linked to The “Diddy Parties?”
American rapper Sean “P Diddy” Combs recently found himself at the center of a huge controversy, as he was arrested for multiple allegations, including sexual abuse and trafficking, among many other crimes. Most of these are allegedly centered on the huge parties he was known for.
Following the allegations and his eventual arrest, people have often linked celebrities and public figures who have previously revealed connections to the infamous “Diddy parties.” LeBron was one of the names haunted by the connection, as an old Instagram live video of him with Diddy surfaced, with him saying “Everybody knows ain’t no party like a Diddy party” surfaced online.
LeBron James is friends with Diddy…
He’s said, “Ain’t no party like a Diddy party” on IG live.
He’s hung out with him & promoted him constantly over the years.

James was also a victim of fake news that aimed to fuel the fire that linked him to Diddy and his infamous parties. On Facebook, a news headline alleged the existence of a LeBron and Diddy sex tape. The screenshot showed the purported report from Marca, a legitimate NBA news website.
However, fact-checks proved that the headline did not exist and was 100% edited. While there were old videos showing LeBron and Diddy knew each other, there has not been any single material that has linked him directly to the crimes the rapper is accused of.
Aside from LeBron James, other celebrities who have been linked to the “Diddy parties” issue included A-list celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Jennifer Lopez, Drake, Justin Bieber, Kim Kardashian, and Ellen DeGeneres.
