The battle lines between Drake and LeBron James have drawn in a familiar name from the internet’s past: YesJulz, and she’s not having it.
The longtime social media personality and event curator, whose real name is Julieanna Goddard, is once again trending after posting a blunt message on X (formerly Twitter) amid renewed public friction between the 6 God and King James. Her plea? Crystal clear.
“Leave me out of it,” she tweeted earlier this afternoon.
The tweet came at a suspiciously loaded time, just hours after LeBron and his wife, Savannah, were spotted joyfully vacationing while singing along to Kendrick Lamar’s nuclear Drake diss track “Not Like Us,” the same track that continues to fracture hip-hop and celebrity circles.
While LeBron has stayed publicly neutral, that video had the internet frothing. And now, YesJulz is bracing for what she fears may come next, a fresh wave of online speculation and messy narratives, especially if Drake decides to speak.
The YesJulz–LeBron Connection: A Tabloid’s Favorite Puzzle
YesJulz’s name has been whispered alongside LeBron’s for nearly a decade. During his years with the Miami Heat, she found herself working with the team, reportedly through longtime LeBron business partner Maverick Carter. That proximity led to years of persistent rumors about an alleged relationship between her and the NBA icon.
Julz has repeatedly denied any romantic involvement with LeBron. She’s been consistent: they were never involved, and she maintains the utmost respect for LeBron’s wife, Savannah James, and their family. In a June 2023 interview, Julz reiterated that while she did date someone close to LeBron, it wasn’t the man himself.
That hasn’t stopped the gossip blogs, group chats, or comment sections from dredging it all up anytime LeBron trends. And now, with Drake actively taking lyrical shots at LeBron’s inner circle, many believe Julz is bracing herself for yet another internet storm.
Social Media Reactions: From Sympathy to Snark
Naturally, Twitter/X has erupted over Julz’s tweet, with reactions ranging from empathy to brutal mockery:
“YesJulz always catching strays,” one user tweeted, echoing a sentiment many have shared since her name resurfaced.
“This how you know she wanna be involved,” another wrote, accusing Julz of stirring the pot just to keep herself trending.
Some responses took a harsher turn:
“Stop being The Holland Tunnel for any n*gga with motion.”
“Girl tell us the truth.”
“Damn Bron really hit! Omg.”
“This like the 7th time in 2 years, you clearly want folks to talk bout it lol.”
“This btch is insane messy ass.”
“Nah b*tch it’s finally coming to light.”
Despite the cruelty, others defended her attempt to stay out of the drama. But for every supporter, there were several others convinced her tweet was a strategic move to maintain relevance or to get ahead of a potential Drake diss that might name names.
