Move over LeBron, it’s Savannah James who’s in the spotlight now—and no, it’s not for her courtside fits or being the Queen of NBA WAGs. This time, she’s flexing her hip-hop credentials and proving that her fandom runs deep. On a chill Saturday at home, Savannah went all-in and absolutely crushed a flawless sing-along to Lil Wayne’s legendary track, “We on Fire,” by the Hot Boys. Let’s be honest, there’s no casual fan who can keep up with those bars unless you’re on some superfan level.
While many of us struggle to remember the lyrics of songs we’ve heard a thousand times, Savannah didn’t even flinch as she belted out every line like it was 1999 and Cash Money was still taking over for the 99 and the 2000. Spoiler alert: she didn’t miss a single word. We see you, Savannah. Hip-hop heads, take notes—LeBron’s queen knows her rap game.
But wait, there’s more to the story. Savannah was getting hyped for the “Lil’ Weezyana Fest 2024,” which dropped on Amazon Prime on November 2. If you weren’t tuned in, you missed Lil Wayne reuniting with his old Cash Money crew—Juvenile, B.G., Turk, and even Big Tymers—on stage in New Orleans. These guys were the hottest thing out of the late ’90s, and Savannah clearly can’t get enough of it.
Of course, like any true fan would, Savannah made sure her IG followers got in on the fun. She shared a series of clips showing off her concert-at-home experience. And, because fashion is always a priority, she rocked a slick black-and-gold Cash Money t-shirt, which naturally paired well with her lyrical skills. One clip was captioned with, “Can’t wait to see this,” and it’s safe to assume that Wayne and the gang just found their #1 fan in the James household.
Meanwhile, LeBron’s out here busy being, you know, LeBron—playing his 21st NBA season and breaking records left and right. But it seems Savannah’s out to steal the show with her perfectly curated hip-hop moments. Maybe the Lakers need to get a Hot Boys track on their warm-up playlist just to keep up with her energy.
Speaking of Lil Wayne, can we talk about his rise for a second? At just 15 years old, Weezy was the youngest member of the Hot Boys when their debut album “Get It How U Live!” dropped in 1997. This kid was just barely old enough to get a driver’s license and he was already spitting fire. Two years later, Wayne hit solo success with “The Block is Hot,” and the rest is history. With five Grammys, a pocket full of BET and Billboard awards, and being universally recognized as one of the greatest rappers of all time, the man hasn’t stopped winning. Kind of like Savannah’s husband, right?
But back to the James family—because they’re on a roll in more ways than one. While Savannah’s showing off her musical chops, LeBron keeps defying the aging process by dunking his way through the NBA. Just a couple months ago, he signed a two-year extension with the Lakers and bagged another Olympic gold medal in Paris this summer. As if that wasn’t enough excitement, Bronny James, the couple’s son, made his NBA debut last month. The anticipation was through the roof as Bronny joined his dad on the court—literally making history as the first father-son duo to play together in the NBA.
Savannah couldn’t help but gush about this once-in-a-lifetime moment when she appeared on the Tamron Hall Show to talk about Bronny’s journey to the big leagues. “Extremely proud … Understanding the moment and the history. You know, just how special it was,” she said, sounding every bit the proud mom who knows this basketball dynasty is only just getting started.
Whether courtside or on IG singing her heart out to Lil Wayne, Savannah James is proving she’s more than just the wife of an NBA legend—she’s a force to be reckoned with in her own right. And if you ever need someone to spit the Hot Boys bars with zero slip-ups, you know who to call.
