“We been getting that Jewish money, Everything is Kosher," 21 Savage raps in his new track "ASMR".
Lebron James liked what he heard, and posted the lyrics.
Now they are both apologizing.
"Apologies, for sure, if I offended anyone," LeBron told ESPN. "That's not why I chose to share that lyric. I always [post lyrics]. That's what I do. I ride in my car, I listen to great music and that was the byproduct of it. So, I actually thought it was a compliment and obviously it wasn't through the lens of a lot of people. My apologies. It definitely was not the intent, obviously, to hurt anybody."
Savage echoed a similar sentiment in his apology:
The Jewish people I know are very wise with there money so that’s why I said we been gettin Jewish money I never thought anyone would take offense I’m sorry if I offended everybody never my intention I love all people
