Lebron James Says Goodbye To Social Media For The Time Being Because There Is Too Much Hate
Lebron James will turn 40 on December 30th, and oddly, he gave all fans a birthday gift and took himself off social media for the time being.
The trend going around the internet is that celebrities are leaving the social media platform X since the owner, Elon Musk, is good friends with Donald Trump. Since Trump won the election, celebrities who don't like him are leaving the platform.
The Los Angeles Lakers star didn't say Trump's victory was why he is leaving social media, but James has been critical of the former president and even endorsed Kamala Harris.
Trump's win probably impacted the 39-year-old's decision to leave social media, but hate and negativity on the sites drove him to leave.
James tweeted a post about all the hate and negativity in the world and commented," Amen!! Minutes later, he made his last post on X, stating," And with that said, I'll holla at y'all! I'm getting off social media for the time being. Y'all take care."
We have seen this movie many times before, and James will be back on social media by Thanksgiving.
The 20-time All-Star can't help himself from being in the spotlight, and when he is looking for attention, he will pop back up on everyone's screens.
Lebron is right that there is a lot of hate and negativity in the world, but let's not act like he doesn't contribute to it.
James takes a stance on the issue whenever there is a political event, and if anyone disagrees, he goes crazy.
The future Hall of Famer was one of the first NBA players in 2016 to say he was not going to the White House to celebrate a championship since Trump was in office, and that seems pretty negative to not get over your differences and have a good time.
Nobody will miss James being on social media, and he will be back before you know it.
