Most fans reacted with some kind of reaction picture or video, even making fun of the situation where James finds out about the video. Some fans even joked about James' Los Angeles Lakers' teammates, specifically JR Smith, being the ones who shared the blunt with Bronny. "Bronny after the AD game-winner," one user wrote while attaching a video of a man smoking. Some people also asked users to leave Bronny James alone, claiming that Bronny is simply a child.

Last week, fans trended Bronny on Twitter for some time after he appeared in a TikTok video with a girl, wondering if she was his new girlfriend.  In the video shared, Bronny sits on a chair while the girl – TikTok star Peyton – moves his head to the music. While people made some offensive comments about James' son dating a "white" girl, most people asked everyone to leave him alone. "Bronny James is a 15-year-old. Leave him alone you weirdos," said one user.
