Social media has been buzzing with reactions ever since LeBron James’ eldest son, ‘Bronny James, was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers on June 27.
Rick Ross is the latest celebrity to respond to Bronny’s big news. The Maybach Music founder hopped on Instagram to let everyone know that he is not here for the nepotism talk surrounding Bronny.
“Who was he suppose to play for? Go get that Nike money! Y’all let me know. Bronny soon as you get out there on that court, make sure you throw that baby powder in the sky! And you run out there and do that leg pump,” Ross said.
Ricky Rozay also expressed his frustrations with the new words people create on social media, specifically pointing out nepotism.
“Nepotism, nepotism. Y’all make me sick, every two years y’all come up with a new word. Now it’s nepotism. 85% of all of you m***a f****s got a job, by somebody you know. And that ain’t even what I’m referring to. Little Bronny a bigger star than 95% of the m***a f****s in the league now,” Ross continued.
Whew! The Roomies quickly hopped in The Shade Room comment section to share their thoughts on Ross’ statements.
