Kyle Rittenhouse has slammed LeBron James over comments the NBA star made during the teenager's phony "murder" trial.
Prior to Rittenhouse being acquitted on all charges on his self-defense shooting case in Kenosha, Wisconsin, James mocked the teen for becoming emotional while on the witness stand.
The four-time NBA champion accused Rittenhouse of faking his tears while testifying at his trial.
After remaining silent on the remarks, Rittenhouse has now finally responded.
Speaking during an interview with Elijah Schaffer on BlazeTV's You Are Here show, the 18-year-old sent a message back to James:
"F**k you, LeBron!"

"I was a Lakers fan too before he said that," Rittenhouse said.
"I was really pissed off when he said that because I liked LeBron, and then I'm like, you know, 'F*** you, LeBron!'"

"What tears?????" James tweeted in response to a video of Rittenhouse getting emotional.
"I didn't see one. Man knock it off!
"That boy ate some lemon heads before walking into court."
He added three crying laughing emojis.
