Le’Veon Bell celebrates Trump’s win with gloating video after threatening to leave country
· New York PostLe’Veon Bell may finally get his White House invitation.
The two-time All-Pro running back called out all the doubters and naysayers in an enthusiastic exclamation on Instagram just minutes after news broke that Donald Trump would be returning to the Oval Office.
“I tried to tell y’all, man,” Bell says as he tugs at the bill of his red MAGA cap. “Make America great again. Make America great again. Now y’all can go and get a hat.”
Bell then referenced a post on X last weekend in which he stated he would leave the country if Trump lost.
“Ain’t no point in me moving now, huh?” Bell said. “I’m leaving the country if Kamala Harris wins [the election].”
The message drew ire from some of Bell’s former NFL colleagues, including two-time Super Bowl champion and four-time Pro Bowler Asante Samuel.
“Do us all a favor and please leave now,” Samuel had written in response.
Bell fired back at Samuel and other Trump-detractors in the wee hours of Wednesday morning.
“Y’all thought I was about to go somewhere? Jokes on you. Jokes on you,” he says. “I ain’t going nowhere. I’m here. Make America great, man.”
“Y’all thought I was crazy, y’all thought I was trippin’?” Bell asks. Then, mocking his haters: “Oh, Le’Veon Bell, he a c—n, he got CTE … Oh, do I? Or do you?”
Bell, who was one of the NFL’s premier backs in the mid-2010s, has been backing the 47th president for months.
In mid-October, he appeared on stage with former Pittsburgh Steelers teammate Antonio Brown at a Trump rally in Latrobe, Pa., and later spoke about the experience on TikTok.
“Trump a real one, bro. He a real one … he didn’t tell me he was going to call me up. He just did that, bro – off the love … I could’ve messed up everything…” Bell said.
Bell has not held an NFL roster spot since 2022. After spending portions of his eight-year NFL career with the Steelers and Jets, he has appeared in boxing matches against Adrian Peterson and, more recently began sharing the intimate details of his life on OnlyFans.
