The New Orleans Pelicans star has been neck deep into controversies recently and is yet to be freed from it. It all started with the baby mama drama on Twitter after a woman started calling out names.

Soon, the adult star started taking shots at the 23-year-old by saying that she was pregnant with his child. She also alleged Williamson lying to her about not having an affair with any other woman.

The situation reached a point where her account was suspended after she threatened to leak a tape of her and the NBA star. Hopefully, those things are in the past now because Williamson needs to be at his best as the start of a fresh season is approaching.
