‘Lil Mama Snapped’: LeBron James’ Daughter Zhuri Steals the Show During a Family TikTok Video

Instead of going crazy while holed up at home avoiding ‘the Rona,’ LeBron James and his family are making the most of their time together by recording TikTok videos, seemingly just like everyone else on social.

The three-time NBA championship winner enlisted his wife Savannah, sons Bronny and Bryce and his little princess Zhuri James to hit a quick move to rapper Wiz Khalifa and Ty Dolla $ign’s 2017 track “Something New.”

Although there is a constant buzz surrounding the Los Angeles Lakers forward, as usual, when his daughter is on the scene she becomes the real star.

At only 5 years old, the youngest member of the “James Gang” has swiped her dad’s following that can’t seem to get enough of her and big personality.

“Zhuri is a legend😂” and “Baby Z is the GOAT” read a couple of comments from those who watched the littlest James close out the TikTok with a big jump and hand clap.

“By far my favorite ‘James Gang’ member lol❤️”

“Zhuri is always the star haha” and “Z is the best one” rounded out some of the comments about the “All Things Zhuri” YouTube sensation.

Others simply swooned over how much of a close-knit family the gang appears to be.

“Love how y’all kick it as a family”

“This is a family family right her”

The family of five previously did the “Can’t Touch This” remix TikTok dance where, again, Zhuri stole the show with her high energy and many amusing facial expressions.

“Zhuri high key KILLED that 🔥”

“Zhuri on point with the jump at the end 😂❤️ This g”

“Lil mamaaa snapped”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
