LeBron James Mural Being Restored After Getting Defaced

People are stepping up to help the artist of the Space Jam-inspired Lebron James mural vandalized earlier this week. Artist Chardae Slater posted on Instagram Tuesday thanking community members for donating money to help her fix the mural, as well as the LeBron James Family Foundation for offering support.

Someone defaced the artwork with spray paint early Monday, upsetting local residents.

“First thing I’m going to say is this will not stop me!! I saw what happened to my mural and whoever did it should think about this.. why would you even take time out of your day to go fuck up what someone else did for the community? Did that make you feel good? I took my time on this.. but you know what? I left my mark. Wether it was one of my haters or Lebrons haters, I don’t wish harm on nobody. I’m still going to keep going and do great things. I hope you know that this is not going to stop me! It’s all love 💜”

Damn shame someone had to ruin her hard work.

Hopefully it will be restored soon. . .
