Lou Williams is no stranger to the Atlanta stripclub Magic City, which he has in many ways become synonymous with.
So when TMZ asked him about a photo he once took at the club with Jack Harlow during the COVID-19 pandemic, he had no problem reliving the moment.
"Jack is my bro, no harm no foul," Williams said. "That's nothing. It was nothing there. Only thing that happened was a lot of jokes were made, a nickname came out of it. I didn't get suspended, I didn't get fined, I didn't get any of that."
At the time of the photo, the NBA season was moved to the Bubble in Orlando, but Williams, who was playing with the Los Angeles Clippers, was on an approved leave to attend a memorial service.
As the story goes, Williams was hungry and went to Magic City to order some of their famous lemon pepper wings. That's when he bumped into Harlow, who took a selfie with Williams and shared it on his Instagram Story. And just like that, "Lemon Pepper Lou" was born.
Lou Will added that he made some money off that hilarious nickname and that it's a part of who he is now. The former NBA player trademarked the nickname back in September 2020.
