Whether it’s Hip Hop or basketball, Freddie Gibbs has never been afraid to speak his mind, even if it ruffles a few feathers. But his opinions about the Los Angeles Lakers almost landed him in trouble with the team’s star player — or so he thought.
In a clip posted to his Instagram Stories on Tuesday (March 8), Gangsta Gibbs recalled bumping into LeBron James during Super Bowl weekend last month and admitted he thought the 6-foot-9, 250-pound NBA legend was going to “beat [his] ass” for talking trash about the Lakers.
“I talked to LeBron [at] Super Bowl weekend. I was like, ‘Oh shit!'” he said while watching ESPN from the comfort of his bed. “Look, I thought LeBron was gonna beat my ass. I ain’t even gon’ lie, man. I was prepared to get my ass whooped for talking shit about the Lakers.”
Fortunately for Freddie, LeBron James didn’t end up throwing hands. Instead, the two seemed to hit it off, with Gibbs calling King James “a real n-gga.”
