Is Influencer YesJulz Romantically Involved With LeBron James?
In an intriguing story concerning LeBron James, social media personality YesJulz was compelled to refute reports that she was “involved” with the basketball legend following hints of a potential affair.
YesJulz, whose real name is Julieanna Goddard, threw a party for James in Miami back in 2014. She quickly gained notoriety and increased her following on social media.

Rapper Pusha T later revealed that he had noticed something romantic between the two at the event, which he mentioned in his song “Popular Demand (Popeyes).”
Pusha T states in the opening stanza that he dated a female and thought she was having an affair with James, yet he doesn’t mention YesJulz by name.

He is audible rapping in the song: “Used to have this white b****, she looked like Madonna though, heard that she f***ing LeBron, but s***, I don’t know. Like that, Bron-Bron?”
Years later, however, Goddard dispelled a number of claims about her personal life in a video that she published in July 2023. Among these was the claim that she had an affair with the married Los Angeles Lakers player.

Eventually, it came to light that she was, in fact, seeing one of his NBA pals; she did not disclose the identity of the player.
“I have never in my entire life been alone with LeBron James, period,” YesJulz said. “There’s nothing that went on there. Clearly, we were friends. I was working in Miami. I was one of the most popular partygoers and throwers in Miami.”

‘The King’ hasn’t addressed the rumors in public to this day, maybe to avoid fanning the flames anymore. However, others on social media were perplexed by the denial’s timing—which came several years after the celebration.
Goddard has clarified, though, that she did not cheat on James, saying that she respects his wife Savannah too much to take part in a relationship like that. Three children have been born to the couple, who have been together since 2013.

“I did not f*** with LeBron. I have the utmost respect for Savannah. Love her. I think she’s amazing,” Goddard added.
“They have a beautiful family, and I’m really f***ing tired of this stain being put on my name.”
