Youtube, Jeffree StarOne of YouTube’s biggest influencers, Jeffree Star, has claimed that NBA players have threatened his life, if he were to reveal public details about their relationship.
Star, who has 16.4 million subscribers on YouTube, previously said they had three NBA players in their DMs in March 2020. At the time, there was a social media frenzy to try and discover the possible identity of the players.

“A lot of NBA players and rappers, yes, but I have a code where I’m never going to out them,” Star said. “A lot of them have threatened to murder me if I ever say their names. The sex is great. The names are invisible”
Dave Portnoy, a podcast host asked, “How do they reach out to you?”
Star replied “They DM me. If you had the password to my phone, you’d sh*t yourself”
Portnoy then asked about the risk players are making by messaging Star if he decided to out them. However, Star countered that he’s “never outed anyone and they know I’m trustworthy”
