LeBron James' Name Censored from Jay-Z Track on Cleveland Radio Station

  • mallymal614
    "In the song Jay drops the line, ""[If] Jeezy's paying LeBron, I'm paying Dwyane Wade." The lyric is a reference to Jay-Z's ability to pay for cocaine at incredibly discounted rates. As in rapper Young Jeezy once boasted about paying $23K (LeBron's former number is 23) for a kilo of cocaine, but Jay pays just $3k (Wade's number). Apparently that was kosher enough for every radio station in America to play. But the mere mention of "LeBron" was too harsh for Cleveland's ears."

    What's next, a child being sent home from school for saying 'LeBron' since the name is another curse word in Cleveland?

    Where has it ever been mentioned that the line "[If] Jeezy's paying LeBron, I'm paying Dwyane Wade." is direct reference to buying cocaine? I have never heard this.

    cuz when Jeezy said I used to pay Kobe (24) but now I pay LeBron(23) he's talking bout paying 23G for a kilo now instead of 24G
