Lonzo Ball Leaves Big Baller Brand “I’m My Own Man Now”

What a day it has been in the media. Lakers PG Lonzo Ball has announced that he is is own man now amid controversy surrounding a family friend and business partner that allegedly um…. “misplaced” 1.5 million of Zo’s money.

In October, Lonzo’s financial advisor, Humble Lukanga, alleged that both Lonzo’s personal taxes and Big Baller Brand’s taxes couldn’t be completed because they could not account for $1.5 million in missing cash from the business. Lukanga emailed both Lonzo and LaVar about the issue, claiming Foster refused to show invoices or documentation of his expenses, per ESPN. Foster and LaVar Ball were the only two who had the ability to withdraw cash, so this raised eyebrows. The $1.5 million still cannot be found.

Per ESPN, Foster owns 16.3 percent of Big Baller Brand. Lonzo owns 51 percent, while LaVar’s share is 16.4 percent, and Lonzo’s mother’s is also 16.3 percent.

“Over $1.5 million dollars has disappeared and he has wired over $474,000 to himself through Marathon Consulting (see attached report),” Lukanga wrote in an email he alleges shows a connection between BBB and Foster’s business. “So close to $2 million dollars has touched Alan’s hands but $1.5 million of it has disappeared in cash and can’t be tracked.”

Five months later, Lonzo and the rest of the Ball family officially cut ties with Foster.
