Kelly Rowland’s eldest son, Titan Jewell Weatherspoon, didn’t know the extent of his mother’s fame until he discovered that she knew LeBron James.
The revelation came during a recent Lakers game, where Rowland and LeBron greeted each other, much to Titan’s amazement
While at the premiere of her new film, Mea Culpa, Rowland recounted the story to Entertainment Tonight.
“I’ma tell you the cutest story,” Rowland began. “So, the other day, I took him [Titan] to a Lakers game. We’re sitting there and LeBron and I catch eyes and I was like, ‘Yo, what’s up,’ and he was like, ‘What’s up?’”
“And I was like, ‘Look at my baby.’ And he was like ‘What’s up, little man?’ My son literally goes, ‘Mom, you know LeBron James?’ He thought it was the coolest thing. So, yeah, I have a couple of cool points with my baby right now,” she told the outlet.
In addition to Titan Jewell,9, Rowland and her husband, activist and talent manager, Tim Weatherspoon, also share Noah Jon,3.
Rowland is extremely passionate about wanting to see her boys grow into “great black men.” In a previous interview with Kindred by Parents, the 43-year-old talked more in depth about her desires.
She shared, “I just want to get this right. I want to really be a part of bringing some really amazing young men forth into the world. That was my only prayer. I don’t know why I’m emotional, but my only prayer was to have really great young Black men in this world who were sure of themselves and didn’t have to be told who they were.”
Rowland’s upcoming Netflix movie, Mea Culpa, tells the story of criminal defense attorney Mea Harper (Rowland), who takes on the murder case against Zyair Malloy (Trevante Rhodes), an artist accused of killing his girlfriend.
As she tries to figure out if her cagey and seductive client is as innocent as he claims, Mea gets thrust into a world that’s both hot and dangerous.
Mea Culpa is produced and directed by Tyler Perry and will start streaming on February 23.
