A popular influencer and social media star has poured cold water on long-running rumors that she enjoyed a secret love affair with LeBron James.
YesJulz, real name Julieanna Goddard, is a content creator with 700,000 followers on Instagram, and she this week appeared on a spoof version of 'Hot Ones' with N3on.
While streaming live, the host was bombarded with questions about Goddard and NBA legend James, who has been happily married to Savannah for the past 12 years.
There has been baseless rumors surrounding Goddard and James dating as far back as 2014, after the basketball star was referenced in a song by rapper Pusha T.
In the song, the lyrics claim: 'Used to have this white b***h she looked like Madonna though. Heard that she f***ing LeBron, but s*** I don't know,' and it has been rumored in the years since that the girl referenced in the song is Goddard.
In recent years, Goddard has continuously been asked about LeBron, and she once and for all shut down the claims at the start of her latest media appearance.

Previously, the 35-year-old had said of James: 'I have never in my entire life been alone with LeBron James. Period…. Clearly, we were friends, I was working in Miami, I was one of the most popular partygoers and throwers in Miami.'
Goddard has since been involved in multiple controversies, becoming embroiled in a very public spat with Kanye West, whom she used to work alongside.
The influencer helped with promotion of the rapper's Donda and Yeezy brands, but was abruptly cut off in March 2024 when he posted on Instagram that he was no longer working with her.

The influencer was alleged to have violated the terms of an NDA, but she says she didn't sign it
Following her termination with Yeezy, YesJulz responded via X, formerly known as Twitter
'All the activity on her page and with our fans in the past few days has been unauthorized,' he wrote, allegedly referring to a violation of a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).
It was claimed at the time that West was trying to sue her for $7.7million, but it is not clear whether the case proceeded beyond online threats.
In a bombshell reply to the allegations, she wrote on X: 'F*** an NDA. Sue me.'
