Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West has come forward to clear the air on name-dropping NBA superstar LeBron James on his recently released “Facts” song.
Yeezy hopped onto his Twitter page early Friday (January 8) to deny having any bad blood with King James.

Despite being a Yeezy fan, King James recently said he could not co-sign him going after Nike on “Facts.”
“Obviously I’m going to side with Nike no matter who it is,” James said. “It’s just, it’s family when you talk about Nike, and I’m always on their side no matter what the situation is.” (Cleveland)
On “Facts,” Ye takes direct aim at Nike paying LeBron to be a spokesperson.
Yeezy in the house and we just got appraised/Nike, Nike treat employees just like slaves/Gave LeBron a billi’ not to run away (Yo!)/10 thousand dollar fur for Nori, I just copped it (Yo!)” (“Facts”)
Recently, Los Angeles Lakers star Nick Young reacted to NBA icon Michael Jordan‘s son, Marcus, responding to Ye’s “Facts.”
“There’s nothing you could really say about the issue. What [Kanye’s] been doing with shoes and clothes, 2015 was Kanye’s year. I understand [Marcus] defending his pops but I think we won this year. Adidas won this year.” (Billboard)
You didn’t have to explain this. It was already understood, Ye!
