N3ON Investigates LeBron and Savannah James Rumors as NBA Fans Search for the Truth

The LeBron-YesJulz rumor mill refuses to die, and yes, it popped back up again. While LeBron James is out here living his best family-man life with Savannah and their three kids, the internet keeps recycling the same cheating whisper campaign. This week, Julieanna Marie Goddard — better known as YesJulz — had to swat it down one more time, live on camera.

The latest flare-up: a livestream, a spicy question, and a firm no

YesJulz showed up on streamer N3on’s show — his own spin on the Hot Ones setup — and the chat immediately did what the chat always does. Someone asked if she slept with LeBron James. Her answer was the same one she has given for years:

"No, I never did."

N3on asked viewers to stop spamming the question, and she echoed it:

"You got your LeBron question asked. Let’s move forward."

Worth noting: she wasn’t dodgy about other messy topics either. She said she has attended Diddy parties in the past but added that she never witnessed any of the alleged wrongdoing people talk about online.

How we got here: old friendship, older rumors

The LeBron/YesJulz rumor dates back to 2014, when he was starring for the Miami Heat and she was riding the social media rocket as the so-called Queen of Snapchat. She’s said they met through LeBron’s longtime business partner Maverick Carter, became friends, and that was that. The speculation kicked up around then — a year after LeBron married Savannah — and it’s trailed her ever since.

In 2023, she went on Instagram Live and laid it out as plainly as possible:

"I have never in my entire life been alone with LeBron James, period. There is nothing that ever went on there. Clearly, we were friends."

She added that she briefly dated one of LeBron’s friends, and made it clear she wasn’t here to disrespect Savannah or the family.

"I did not f**k with LeBron. I have the utmost respect for Savannah. Love her. I think she’s amazing. They have a beautiful family and I’m really f***ing tired of this stain being put on my name."

Trying to stay out of the LeBron vs Drake splash zone

When LeBron was seen vibing to Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss "Not Like Us" on vacation with Savannah earlier this year, the discourse machine spun right back up. YesJulz wanted nothing to do with it and posted a simple message on July 22, 2025:

"Leave me out of it"

Back in January, she retweeted the NBA’s clip of LeBron throwing down a windmill against the Mavericks and got told to "read the room" by a random X user. She snapped back that she doesn’t care about baseless rumors, reiterated he’s still her favorite player, and called him the GOAT. Despite Drake taking lyrical shots at people close to LeBron, she mostly avoided catching strays.

Quick timeline, because this saga jumps around

• 2014: YesJulz meets LeBron through Maverick Carter; friendship starts; rumors begin while he’s with the Heat, a year after he married Savannah.
• July 2021: She gets engaged to Miami Dolphins linebacker Duke Riley at Rolling Loud.
• March 2022: Their daughter, River, is born.
• 2023: She denies the LeBron rumors on Instagram Live, saying they were never alone together; she and Riley briefly reconcile later that year.
• January 2024: She and Riley split again. She says she’s single.
• January 2025: Retweets LeBron’s windmill dunk; claps back at "read the room" replies; calls LeBron her favorite player and the GOAT.
• July 22, 2025: Posts "Leave me out of it" as the Drake/Kendrick drama reignites.
• October 25, 2025: On N3on’s stream, she repeats the denial: "No, I never did."

So, who is YesJulz beyond the headlines?

Real name: Julieanna Marie Goddard. Age: 34. She runs the YesJulz Agency (launched in 2014) and is the founder/CEO of 1 AM Creative. Her work has included representing artists like Travis Scott and partnering with brands such as Puma and Vevo. She also launched the Little Rascals Foundation, a nonprofit.

She’s dabbled in reality TV too — she turns up on Netflix’s "W.A.G.s to Riches" as the ex-fiancée of Duke Riley. The timeline there: engagement in July 2021, daughter in March 2022, breakup a few months later, a brief reunion in 2023, and another split in January 2024. She says she’s single now. Earlier this year she caught flak online for a cringey soundbite about how "Love Island" changed how she approaches dating.

The Kanye West chapter

Professionally, she also worked with Kanye West as the marketing director for "Vultures" — until it abruptly ended. After what was described as an NDA issue, West posted this to his Instagram Story, per VIBE:

"We have decided to no longer have YesJulz involved in the roll out of Vultures. All the activity on her page and with our fans in the past few days has been unauthorized."

Odds and ends

Grazia pegs her net worth at around $3 million. She’s done influencer partnerships with Beats by Dre and Red Bull.

Bottom line

YesJulz has said the same thing for years: she didn’t hook up with LeBron, and she respects his marriage. She’s going to keep getting asked, because that’s how the internet works, but unless someone produces actual evidence, this feels like another undead rumor limping along on vibes and old screenshots.
