Basketball star LeBron James has apologised after sharing a lyric about "Jewish money" on social media - saying he thought it was a compliment.
James was called out over the lyric - which comes from a song by US rapper 21 Savage - after he shared it with his 45.8m followers on Instagram.
But James said it was not his intent "to hurt anyone" with Saturday's post.
"Apologies, for sure, if I offended anyone," he told sports channel ESPN on Sunday. "That's not why I chose to share that lyric. I always [post lyrics]. That's what I do. I ride in my car, I listen to great music, and that was the byproduct of it.
"So I actually thought it was a compliment, and obviously it wasn't through the lens of a lot of people."

Plus seriously stupid.
People like James are so inundated with vulgar, hateful, racist, sexist, misogynistic, bigoted, cruel, homophobic,unkind and hurtful lyrics in pop and rap music that that are immune to it.
They don’t recognize it anymore. And as such it swallows them whole and so they repeat what they’ve become only to be surprised that they are so offensive.
Lebron has proven time and again he is dumber than a rock.
His IQ is less than 60
I'm a much better person since I cancelled my cable TV and see none of that garbage, especially from so-called "cable news".
It’s ok LeBron. Your a celebrity SJW Supreme. You are in, set, all taken care of. Call it Jew money, he’ll, deny a holocaust or two and show up at a Farakahn rally wearing a hitler costume. Cause, U R in!! A SJW like you isn’t capable of rasssism.
Now, on the other hand, if you are offending women, then you may be beyond help* (#MeTo and all).
*Unless you throw the beotch a good beat down and are running for office on the dem ticketin a blue state in which case: 1)who cares; 2) can we talk about Trump?; and 3) congratulations in advance on winning your election!!
Someone should redo those hideous kicks to read IMBECILITY
Another anti-Semitic black racist apologizes - for getting caught.
You're a anti-semite plain and simple.
You gotta go-no excuses.
NOT a fan . . . next article.
HIs owner must have told him to knock it off.
He only means to hurt white people, which is okay, of course.
His Sprite commercials need to be pulled from the airwaves immediately for his racist hate speech and Sprite needs to cancel his contract outright.
The old “Non-apology”
Sorry that your “lens” got you all offended.
I guess you don’t have to have a brain to have basketball talent.
Lebron:
Your job is to make the ball go through the metal hoop.
“Owner”. But wait. That’s for the nfl slavemasters, according to Kingie James.
No way all the white/Jewish nba stockholders can be “owners”
There are rich Jews. And poor Jews too. It double- hurts the poor people to be criticized for the money they don’t have
Tired of LBJ. Tired of ESPNLBJ.com
