Stevie Williams, now going by Lord Williams, has set the record straight in a gnarly and emotional post calling out Eric Koston. In his words, this has been building for years, as he is already done for being silent.

Lord Williams didn't mince his words: “For the record this n**a Koston been trolling me for years with his goofy sht. From stealing two tricks of mine because I left Chocolate, made a mockery skateboard of DGK, made TX throw his board in the trash to skate for wack *ss Numbers, and now he's stealing the 95 Air Max ‘Run, Skate Chill’ Iconic Love Park legacy and tried to give his props to Kareem,” he wrote.
“He's the biggest culture vulture that tries to hide behind his corny jokes and status but he's a clown and just because you think I'm sweet I'm a flame you n*gga! Stay in your lane retard. You wasn't wearing Nikes you was wearing Es. You was watching real n*ggz like me and Kareem wearing Nikes after we skated while you was wearing your corny skate shoes.”
“In his head he thinks he's cool but he's only a puppet to the groupies that run shtty programs that think I'm allow you to take from me and my culture. Btch ss N**az can't C me.”
Lord Williams also said this goes far beyond just one person. In a separate statement, he reflected on something the late Virgil Abloh once told him.
“Virgil predicted this whole thing over 5 years ago. He told me to control the narrative before they steal it. Now I see why he was going so hard for me and giving me the game.”
He believes that the people in powerful positions across the skateboarding industry never ran their own brands and never led anything. According to him, they were just great workers who resented him for walking away from companies that no longer aligned with who he was.
“Instead they shamed me, strategically prayed on my downfall and been the biggest gatekeeper. They allowed the corps to degrade our industry standards so they can keep a check and continue this false narrative.”
He made it clear that this is personal and deeply rooted in his pride for DGK.
“So you don't respect my leadership, DGK, or my movement but you're bold enough to steal from it and integrity these guys have for our own industry says a lot about who these corps are hiring. DGK is the most authentic independent brand EVER. Yall got me fcked up like I'm not the king of this sht. That's why Ima flame all y'all goofballs.”
At the time of writing, Eric Koston has not responded publicly. Rodrigo TX has not made a comment either. But Lord Williams has made his message very clear to all skateboarders out there.
This isn’t just about tricks or shoes. It’s about legacy, respect, and the way skateboarding culture is treated by those who never helped build it.
And in his own words, “I’m the king of this sh*t.”
