LEBRON JAMES apologised for his ‘Jewish money’ Instagram post last night after coming under criticism.
The NBA star, 33, shared the lyrics to ASMR by 21 Savage on social media on Saturday after having the song on for a car journey.
He wrote: “We been getting that Jewish money, Everything is Kosher,” on the post while wearing a Lakers hoody.
James and his side lost 107-99 to the Memphis Grizzlies and afterwards he took the chance to apologise.
The four-time NBA MVP said: “Apologies, for sure, if I offended anyone.
“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.”
Despite James saying he interpreted the lyrics as a “compliment”, American business journalist Darren Rovell picked up on the post and shared it on his own social media channel.
Rovell said: “‘Getting that Jewish money’ might be seen as a compliment, as in Jews disproportionate to their population (1.4% of the US), on average, have a significant place among the nation’s most wealthy individuals.
“The issue is that “Jewish money” is actually a derogatory term that, throughout the history of the Jews, has led to hate.
“It contributed to hate by the Nazis and along with the long nose in cartoons, it contributed to a stereotype that Jews would do anything for money.”
Speaking in August, Yale professor Eliyahu Stern told the Times of Israel: “Historically, Jewish materialism was used by anti-Semites seeking to demean the value of Judaism.
“It’s often been used as a way of delegitimising Judaism’s spiritual and religious values by those who depict Judaism as a cover for hoarding, egoism and an expression of difference.”
According to reports, the NBA do not plan on punishing James for the incident.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
