Rihanna & LeBron James Share Cringeworthy Moment As NBA Star Awkwardly Rubs The Pregnant Artist (VIDEO)
LeBron James Rubs Rihanna’s Baby Bump During Awkward Hug, Her Reaction Says It All (VIDEO)
LeBron James might’ve taken the “Uncle Bron” vibes a little too far during a recent run-in with Rihanna — and the moment is going viral for all the awkward reasons.
The Lakers superstar was seen greeting the pop icon with a hug before giving her baby bump a quick rub, as Rihanna is currently expecting her second child. Sweet gesture, right? Well… not exactly.
Based on her reaction — including the classic “that’s enough” hand grab — it seems RiRi wasn’t entirely thrilled with the surprise belly touch.
LeBron James had Rihanna feeling hella awkward after the two hugged it out recently.
The Los Angeles Lakers superstar was recorded sharing an embrace with the singer before rubbing her stomach. Rihanna, 35, is pregnant with her second child, having revealed as much during her Super Bowl 57 performance in February.
It’s why Bron gave her tummy a quick rub, but it appears she was not thrilled by the gesture judging from the look on her face and the fact that she placed his hand on his as if to say “Okay, now that’s enough.”

James is coming off his fifth season with the Los Angeles Lakers, one that ended against the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals. LBJ and the Lakers were swept, with the Nuggets going on to win the title after defeating the Miami Heat in five games.
The 38-year-old hinted at retirement after the Game 4 loss. However, there aren’t many people out there who believe he is actually considering walking away from the game.
Rihanna, meanwhile, could be set to tie the knot as her beau, A$AP Rocky referred to her as his “wife” during a performance in Cannes this week. So, yeah, let’s keep an eye on that.
