After his engagement to Sabrina Parr failed, people are starting to worry that Lamar Odom might be relapsing and headed back to his old lifestyle.
The former NBA star said his strange Instagram video — in which he appears as “Black Jesus” — was just meant to promote his Twitch account.
“Lighten up DAMN ~ I can’t have fun without being accused of being high or out my mind??” Odom captioned a response video on Instagram.
“If you know me you know I play all day, life is too short to stay so serious, Covid taught us that.”

“Black Jesus just my alter ego and I am just trying to bless y’all in 2K and Madden on Twitch,” Odom said in the video.
“Crack kills,” one fan wrote. Another added, “Doing drugs again,” after seeing the post.
“Whoa… he trippin,” a concerned fan posted.
The 41-year-old had battled cocaine addiction in the past and nearly died during a 2015 incident at a Nevada brothel.
