Pusha T Reportedly Dropped LeBron James & Yes Julz On ‘Popular Demand’

Pusha T’s song “Popular Demand (Popeies)” has resurfaced, reigniting speculation about a possible connection between LeBron James and social media influencer YesJulz. In the first verse of the song, Pusha T mentions a woman who looks like Madonna and alludes to her involvement in “Bron-Bron”. Although no names were explicitly mentioned, fans were quick to draw connections, connecting verses James and Jesus Julz, whose real name is Juliana Goddard, according to Marc.

“She used to have this white bitch, she looked like Madonna, she heard she was fucking LeBron, but f***, I don’t know. Right, Bron-Bron?”

Speculations date back to 2014, when Goddard, known for throwing lavish events in Miami, threw a party for James. Around this time, rumors of a potential romantic relationship between the two began to circulate. Goddard has consistently denied any inappropriate relationship, stating in a 2023 video that she was “never alone with LeBron James.” Despite these denials, Pusha T’s lyrics continue to fuel gossip.

Drake relationship and new allegations

Complicating matters, DJ Akademiks added fuel to the fire in January 2025. During a live stream, he accused James and Drake of collaborating on questionable “twosome” outings, further stirring the pot. Akademiks claimed that Drake facilitated the encounters with James, sparking a debate across social media.

Drake, who has faced his share of controversy, seemingly addressed James in his now-deleted “Fighting Irish Freestyle.” The song’s lyrics hinted at a feud, with Drake referring to a tarnished reputation and broken family ties. Fans interpreted the lyrics as a veiled jab at the NBA superstar, adding another layer of intrigue to the drama.

For her part, YesJulz remained steadfast in dismissing these rumors as baseless. Responding to a fan online, she praised James as her “favourite player” and slammed baseless speculation surrounding their friendship.

Unraveling the web of innuendo and denial

Despite the denials, Pusha T’s choice to include such a pointed reference in his song has raised eyebrows. The rapper, known for his sharp lyricism and willingness to confront public figures, has never shied away from stirring up controversy. His mention of LeBron James in “Popular Demand” only deepens the mystery surrounding these allegations.

Whether the claims contain any truth or remain an exaggerated story created by gossip and music, the intertwined stories of LeBron James, YesJulz, Drake and Pusha T continue to capture the public’s attention.
