Does LeBron's GQ Cover Photo Look Like He's Been Using Rihanna's Trophy Wife Highlighter?

These people seem to think so and they love it.

LeBron James and his Cleveland Cavaliers will host Kyrie Irving and the Boston Celtics tonight to tip off the 2017-18 NBA season.

So, it was perfect timing for GQ to tweet out its November issue with King James on the cover earlier this morning.

As much love as the cover received on sight, there also seems to be an uptick of people who think that Bron is rocking some of Rihanna's Fenty Beauty Trophy Wife highlighter on this cover shot. Oh, the internet. If so, we're sure Bad Gal RiRi is thrilled, considering she's a loyal fan of King James.

Peep the GQ cover and all the reactions LeBron is getting for it.

  • Here's How GQ unveiled its November issue with LeBron on the cover just in time for the start of the new NBA season

    Dope.

  • King James immediately showed his approval

    We agree, King. That's a clean look.

  • And people instantly felt the cover, too

    Another LeBron cover to add to his laundry list of magazine covers over the span of his legendary career.

  • But for as much love as the cover got, people didn't shy away from pointing out that they think LeBron used Rihanna's Trophy Wife highlighter for this cover shot

    Dead over "LaBronzer." Even if Bron isn't rocking Trophy Wife, we're sure RiRi appreciates the free promotion.

  • People weren't about to let it slide that he just roasted Dwyane Wade for allegedly using 'makeup' a couple of weeks ago

    Good grief!

  • But possible highlighter usage aside, people had other hot takes upon seeing the cover, too

    All hail King James!

  • The cover also spawned this thought ...

    If the NBA allows that, they gotta let Carmelo Anthony rock the hoodie.

  • Seeing LeBron react to the cover is only making his fans anticipate the launch of his 15th season, starting with tonight

    Can we expect this posterization tonight? Can't wait to find out!
