In his first post, Odom said that “all you saw in my story on my page was not that I posted or commented on anything from this page,” then gave details about his new management team.
The athlete went on to share a second post to express that he’s “back and only LAMAR manages his account!!”
By not having access to those accounts, the athlete previously claimed that he was missing out on advertising dollars, amounting to about $8,000 per mail, according to TMZ.

Odom reportedly severed all ties with his former management on July 19 and then requested all usernames and passwords for his four main social media accounts.
He claimed that all the passwords for these pages had been previously changed and that he does not have any of the credentials to hand.
“It’s a little crazy that I go through some things. I left my old management, of course it was my decision,” he said in a video posted on TMZ.
“I should be able to do whatever I want – a 42-year-old man – but my social media is not yours. If I choose to leave, that’s the decision I make. Your decision should not be to hijack my social media. It lets me know what fabric you come from,” he continued.

Currently, Odom has over 826,000 Instagram followers, 3.6 million Twitter followers, 1.6 million Facebook followers, and nearly 70,000 TikTok followers.
He reportedly has about 15 different deals with companies, including auto, marijuana and clothing companies, as well as restaurants, hotels and beverage lines all of which require him to post on his social media platforms.
Sources tell TMZ that the two-time NBA champion and his new management team are working with Meta Legal to regain access to his social media accounts and have since reached out to representatives from Twitter, TikTok and the rest.
