In order to keep the verified blue check mark, Twitter subscribers need to pay $7 a month on an annual plan or $8 a month on a monthly plan.
James took to Twitter on Friday and wrote: “Welp guess my blue [checkmark] will be gone soon cause if you know me I ain’t paying the 5.”
The Los Angeles Lakers star’s response led fans into fits of laughter with his honest admission.
One wrote on Twitter: “Dude I knew we had something in common.”
A second fan wrote: “A billionaire won’t buy the check but y’all will [crying emoji]”
And a third said: “Lol why do I like him more now [laughing emoji]”
As he enters his 20th season in the league, James has made a fortune and officially became a billionaire in June 2022.
According to Forbes, that achievement made him the first active NBA player to reach the illustrious milestone.
The 38-year-old returned to the court during Sunday’s 108-118 loss to the Chicago Bulls.
He had been sidelined since late February after falling in an awkward fashion against the Dallas Mavericks.
James revealed he had been suffering from a torn tendon in his foot.
According to The Athletic, two doctors told James he would need season-ending surgery following the injury.
James sought advice from an unnamed doctor, who gave him the go-ahead to return.
The 19-time NBA All-Star labeled the doctor the “LeBron James of feet.”
