D'Angelo Russell was involved in controversy last June when a woman leaked a series of text messages she allegedly exchanged with the Dallas Mavericks guard. The woman, who goes by the name "Jaw Morant" on X, accused Russell of cheating on his partner with her.

"D'Angelo Russell you got some explaining to do… stop cheating on that yt woman with me," she wrote in the post, along with screenshots of the alleged conversation.

The alleged messages showed Russell asking her to fly to Miami for him while she was in Atlanta.

Nick Young, who has feuded with Russell for years, was asked by fans about the developments.

"Oh man! What can I say, God answers all prayers," Young responded. "Jaw Morant, she's the GOAT. Shoutout to Swaggy Nation, people that have been riding with me from day 1."

Young even offered to help the woman financially.

"I love what you doing...I got you coz you ain't going to see no more money so I got you," he said.

The fans also alluded to a previous incident where Russell had recorded a conversation with Young in which the ex-Lakers guard discussed cheating on Iggy Azalea while they were engaged. The video was later leaked on social media.

Young said Russell got what was coming to him and sent a shoutout to "Jaw Morant."

"You know, snitches never prosper and you know, only one made it...Jaw Morant made sure D'Angelo wasn't even going to have a comeback," he added. "Shoutout to her. Close out."

D'Lo is married to model Laura Ivaniukas, and they share two children.

What happened between Nick Young and D'Angelo Russell?

The feud between D'Angelo Russell and Nick Young started when they were teammates with the LA Lakers. In 2016, Russell was a rookie when he secretly recorded Young speaking about having an affair with another woman.
