Long as you being celebrated, that's all I care about. ‘Cause you my n***a and I love you. I don't care if I got a fallout with somebody, I love to get the results. We gon' get the results… I'm a life coach and a guru.”

Kevin Gates' Original Comments
Gates went viral for his original comments about the Lakers player and his wife, stating that he didn't like “the way Savannah looks at LeBron.” Before the comments went viral he already predicted that “a lot of people” will not like his comments but believes Savannah should “dive on the floor behind that n***a.”
“I don't like the way Savannah look at LeBron,” Gates said. “I like the way them white women look at LeBron. Like, when as soon as he walk out there, they just be like, ‘Oh oh oh.’ They be d*cked out.
Gates said that Lebron's spirit “is so loving and giving, it hurt me to see it” as he proceeded to describe Savannah as “the warden of the jail.”
The rapper attempted to have a light hearted conclusion to his comments, adding, “But nah, though, I love y'all… Sometimes the truth hurts, but it heals.”
