NBA superstar LeBron James has sent legal notices to AI platform FlickUp for enabling creation of pregnant videos of him. Le Bron’s lawyers sent a cease-and-desist letter which primarily targeted the creators of these inappropriate videos associated with the ‘Brain Rot’ trend.
As per reports, Interlink AI tool hosted on the FlickUp platform was extensively used to create the pregnant videos of Lebron James. These videos went viral on Instagram and the Discord community.
Sources reveal that the Interlink AI Discord channel were handing out guides to people on how to make the videos of LeBron James.
AI generated videos of James and Steph Curry gained millions of views on Instagram. These featured AI-generated James with an AI-generated Diddy sexually assaulting Steph Curry in prison. Other videos of LeBron James created by the Interlink AI tool imagined him as a homeless person, on his knees with tongue out, and also videos of him pregnant.
However, moderators of the Interlink AI Discord community announced on late June that they were removing “realistic people models” from the platform. They said, “This change comes after we ran into legal issues involving a highly valued basketball player, and to avoid any further complications, we’ve chosen to take a proactive approach and fully remove all realistic likenesses from the site.”
They added, “We know this may be disappointing for some of you who were enjoying the realism in your content, but this move protects the future of the platform and allows us to focus on building something even bigger.”
How are X users reacting to the LeBron James news?
A pregnant video of LeBron James also surfaces on X with one user saying, “Does he not realise the beast he just awoken? Pregnant Lebron James are about to take over the internet.”

Another X user posted the pregnant LeBron James video saying, “I didn’t even know pregnant lebron was a thing but now I can’t stop watching this video. It’s the Jordan Crawford dunk all over again”
What is FlickUP founder Jason Stack saying?
Stacks apparently posted an AI generated image of LeBron James relaxing on a pool before receiving the cease and desist letter. Stacks wrote, “LeBron looks so chill.”
However, Stacks later posted on Instagram that he was so f**ked after receiving the cease and desist letter.
Stacks said, “I’m so fucked. This is a letter from one of the biggest NBA players of all time.” He further said, “Two months ago, I launched the YouTube of AI video. It was a fun idea to help creators make some more money. But then people started noticing. Like, really noticing. Like this guy, yeah, the LeBron James. And he wasn’t happy, because I got this cease-and-desist from his team.”
Earlier, Interlink AI Discord community had a ‘Wins’ channel where people boasted about getting 50 Cent like the James/Curry/Diddy prison sexual assault video. That video received 6.2 million views on Instagram.
Interlink AI added more models like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Nikola Jokić, Elon Musk, Mr. Beast, Drake, and Kanye West. Moderators then said that the models gave more flexibility and creativity to the creators. They said, “These additions give you even more flexibility and creativity when building out your content, especially if you’re creating NBA-style scenes or viral storytelling concepts,” adding, “Let’s keep creating!”
