Billionaire Superstar Rihanna Fangirling Over “Bae” LeBron James Might Have Upset Stephen Curry

While LeBron James might not enjoy the current situation around the Los Angeles Lakers, he must feel nice looking back at his career. He has won four championships and could win a few more before retirement. Despite the team’s struggles, he has been in fine form, being among the best in the league. Add to that a resume worthy of GOAT conversation. LeBron has a supportive family and friends behind him who have always been behind him through ups and down. One such friend is Rihanna, who has been very supportive of LeBron over the years.

Rihanna has been among the biggest LeBron supporters over the years. They are also close friends. One thing that no one can deny is Rihanna’s love for the game of basketball. She has attended many NBA games over the years and she’s a big LeBron fangirl. Once, she reportedly screamed “LeBron” near the Cavaliers dressing room in 2015.

Rihanna has posted about LeBron James on her social media on many occasions. She is among the most followed celebrities in the world, with around 107 million followers on Twitter and 137 million on Instagram. However, Rihanna once even went on to troll Stephen Curry when the Cavaliers pulled a comeback vs the Warriors to win the championship.

Rihanna’s support for LeBron James in 2016 might have upset Stephen Curry

As LeBron James won his 3rd championship with the Cavaliers in 2016, Rihanna shared a series of posts on her Instagram to celebrate the win. She even went on to call LeBron ‘bae’.

This was not it. She even shared a picture of herself with the number 23 written on her stomach. It referred to LeBron James’ jersey number. Rihanna, however, went to the extent where she posted a picture of Stephen Curry after the Warriors lost the Finals. The post was captioned: “”Ballin bigger than Lebron” they said”.

This surely would not have gone down well with Stephen Curry, who didn’t respond to the dig. However, the Warriors bounced back and went on to win two back-to-back championships after the Cavs win in 2016.

Rihanna posted a few more pictures from the Finals, including a picture of LeBron holding the championship trophy and the Finals MVP trophy.

It is fair to say that Rihanna is a huge fan of LeBron James. However, her social media posts for LeBron James has stopped now. But despite that, she has remained a close friend of LeBron, always supporting him from behind.
