Former Laker Lamar Odom Locked Out Of Social Media Accounts: Loses Money On Endorsement Deals

Former Las Angeles Laker and two-time NBA champion Lamar Odom claimed his former management had locked him out of his social media accounts. Lamar Odom, who played in the NBA from 1999 through 2013, made a shocking allegation against his former management team. This bizarre hijacking follows Lamar Odom’s switch to a new management team after numerous issues with his previous team. TMZ reported that Odom claims that the reason for locking him out of his accounts was dissatisfaction with the switch by the previous firm’s management. However, the primary concern for Odom stems from the lucrative endorsement deals he now loses out on due to his inability to access his accounts.  

Lamar Odom’s success on the basketball court makes him a successful brand ambassador for numerous companies. Often, these companies require a social media post as part of the brand deal. As a result, the former player reportedly loses around 8,000 dollars per post. Given the number of endorsements, Odom is a part of the former Sixth Man of the Year and could potentially miss out on over one hundred thousand dollars.  

As NBA fans are undoubtedly aware, this is not the first time the former Kobe Bryant teammate has alleged mishandling his social media. Two years ago, Odom alleged that his ex-girlfriend, Sabrina Parr, acted similarly. Following this allegation, a brief feud started between the two.

A Life of Hardships for Lamar Odom

Lamar Odom faced numerous difficulties throughout his life. Many recall his battles with drugs and alcohol. Odom battled addiction following his NBA career. This culminated in a hospitalization following a cocaine binge. He took his recovery seriously and worked hard toward overcoming addiction. 

Lamar Odom faced many hardships both on and off the basketball court. However, the former Laker worked towards improvement, never allowing the difficulties to overwhelm him. Whether that be opponents, injuries, or substance abuse, it is for this reason that despite this latest financial setback, it will not stop him. It remains to be seen how this issue will resolve, but it seems likely Lamar Odom will continue to persevere.

Kanye West is continuing to make headlines. He recently made headlines for calling Pete Davidson, Kim Kardashian’s boyfriend, “Skeet Davidson.” Also, West’s fellow rap legend French Montana says West is launching his own social media platform, according to HotNewHipHop.com. Montana says that West is responding to Instagram in this way. Nevertheless, Instagram placed a suspension on West for 24 hours. Montana backs this in a tweet, saying: “They suspended Kanye off Instagram, he about to make his social media platform.”

There Are No Confirmed Reports That West Has Started to Create His Own Social Media Platform, As of Right Now.

The Bronx rapper tweeted on March 16, 2022, that his creation of a social media platform wasn’t made public by him. Los Angeles Rapper The Game supports West in response to Kanye’s Instagram suspension. The Compton Rapper is launching the #FreeYe campaign. Also, he’s slamming Instagram for picking and choosing content that ignores its policies.

The reaction to Instagram’s suspension of West has been causing division. However, some people feel it’s too harsh, while others think it’s too mild. Therefore, Instagram is banning West because of his rant on Tuesday morning.

West’s Tirade Prompted His Suspension from Instagram

West fired shots at Pete Davidson, his ex-wife’s boyfriend, Kim Kardashian. However, Davidson’s partner David Sirius and famous comedian D.L Hughley are the topics of West’s rants. Likewise, Trevor Noah, host of The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, is the other subject of West’s tirade.

Moreover, according to Meta, Instagram’s parent company, they’re removing West’s account for: “violating the company’s hate speech, bullying, and harassment policies.” As a result, West can not post, comment, or send direct messages on his account during the 24-hour suspension period.

In conclusion, West’s recent social media rant is one of many recent. The subjects of his recent attack were just his ex-wife Kim Kardashian and her boyfriend, Pete Davidson. There is cause for concern that more people are following West’s social media rants.
