LeBron James is once again at the center of cheating allegations, this time brought forward by a celebrity who posted video evidence on Instagram. Despite LeBron’s history of facing such accusations, this latest claim has gained significant attention.
The Allegation
On Saturday, a well-known celebrity publicly accused LeBron James of cheating, sharing a video on Instagram that supposedly backs up the claim. While LeBron has often been the target of similar rumors, this instance has drawn more interest due to its proximity to LeBron’s personal life.
The Incident
The controversy began when rapper Doe Boy, also from Cleveland, took to Instagram to accuse LeBron of cheating—not in his personal life, but during a game of Madden NFL 25. The rapper, who has a longstanding friendship with the NBA superstar, jokingly claimed that LeBron’s gaming skills were too good to be true after suffering a heavy defeat in the video game.

LeBron James has supported Doe Boy’s career since 2019 when a video of LeBron singing along to Doe Boy’s hit single “Walk Down” went viral. This boost helped the rapper’s career take off, leading to significant opportunities, including a spot in an Apple commercial. Despite their friendship, Doe Boy didn’t hesitate to publicly accuse LeBron of cheating during their Madden match.
The Backstory
The playful feud between LeBron and Doe Boy began earlier this year when LeBron handed Doe Boy a crushing defeat in Madden, using the Cleveland Browns to secure a 40-point victory. The rapper, clearly frustrated by the loss, has since taken to social media to humorously claim that LeBron’s victory was the result of cheating.
Conclusion
While these allegations are more playful than serious, they highlight LeBron James’ competitive spirit, which remains fierce even in the off-season. Although Doe Boy may owe much of his success to LeBron, this public ribbing over a video game defeat shows that their friendly rivalry is far from over.
