It has been three weeks since Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James took a break from social media to shut out the negativity. But that did not stop many, including controversial UFC and MAGA supporting fighter Colby Covington, from questioning the superstar about his connections with rapper P Diddy.
Many fans had already started to post that question well before the US Presidential elections were over. Now that Donald Trump has won, MAGA supporters are openly talking about what they felt was not right. For instance, the history of LeBron James and P Diddy.
It is not a secret that James has been to several Diddy parties. He even rapped along with the Grammy Award winning artist on one of his songs on his birthday, much to the delight of the now jailed rapper. Therefore, when Colby Covington started his UFC Tampa media day session, he spoke his mind before any reporter could ask him a question.
I want to ask LeBron, What does he mean by ‘there’s no party like a Diddy party’? I truly want to know. And not only that, LeBron, how many Diddy parties have you actually been to? Is that the reason you left social media, because all the backlash you were getting for going to so many Diddy parties? It’s just pathetic, man.
Colby Covington said
Oh so that’s how we’re starting the media day 😭

Covington was referring to the video that came out a few months ago that showed James telling Diddy over facetime that ‘there’s no part like a Diddy party’. The video may be AI assisted or generated. However, there are countless videos and pictures of LeBron James at P Diddy‘s parties.
Colby Covington questions LeBron James’ intentions
With the words already said, Colby Covington reconfirmed his title of ‘King of Cringe’. But he was not done as he wanted to reveal more about his feelings for LeBron James before allowing reporters to start asking their questions.
People think this guy is a role model. He wants to defund the police, the most patriotic people in America serving and protecting our country. LeBron, you’re a f**king sc**bag, and I hope you get locked up in the same cell with Diddy.
Colby Covington added
The 36-year-old did not stop from questioning the Los Angeles Lakers superstar’s intentions. He took offense to James asking for police defunding when their job is to protect residents. This is on the backdrop of several allegations against the Black Lives Matter movement, which James was actively a part of.
He may not have another opportunity until the end of the fight to have this much time to talk. Covington is returning to fight Joaquin Buckley at UFC on ESPN 63 this weekend. This is one year after he broke his foot at UFC 296.
