Lamar Odom struck a humorous chord when responding to accusations that he was high during a video promoting his social media pages.
Odom confused fans on Sunday, with an odd video featuring him shirtless in a black wig pouring wine.
“Black Jesus says, ‘Follow Lamar Odom on Snapchat, Twitch YouTube, and he will turn water into wine,” Odom's friend says.
The 41-year old Odom has struggled with cocaine addiction in the past, and he's been recovering from substance abuse since a near-fatal incident in 2016 that left him unconscious at a Nevada brothel.
In a follow-up video posted on his Instagram page on Monday, Lamar Odom throws off his “Black Jesus” wig and says he was simply promoting his gaming avatar.
“It's Lamar Odom, man. Black Jesus is just my altar-ego when I'm trying to bless y'all in 2K and Madden on Twitch. Just my altar-ego.”
Lamar Odom reassured folks in his caption, too.
“Lighten up DAMN ~ I can’t have fun without being accused of being high or out my mind??
If you know me you know I play all day, life is too short to stay so serious, Covid taught us that.Black Jesus here to stay. No blasphemy, just fun!”
Lamar Odom has been embroiled in a social media dispute with his ex-fiancé, Sabrina Parr. Odom accused Barr of holding his social media accounts hostage and recently said he was hoping to regain access and begin a social media-driven rebrand.
Lamar Odom averaged 13.3 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game over 14 NBA seasons. He won two championships with the Los Angeles Lakers (2009-10) and was named the league's Sixth Man of the Year in 2011.
He last played in the NBA with the Los Angeles Clippers in 2013.
