A photo of Delonte West walking around in Maryland went viral Monday after Twitter user @JJ_RipCuba uploaded the pic and posted it to his Twitter account.
The tweet has since been deleted, but it read, “Let’s Pray For Delonte West Y’all He Bipolar And On St.Barnabas Road Bumming Smh He Ain’t Taking His Medicine.” The photo shows West with a cardboard sign, and many speculated the former NBA player was homeless and asking for money.

In an alleged statement to Media Takeout, West claims he was helping a homeless man, and not actually homeless himself.
