A fan claims he was kicked out of a luxury suite after greeting Wembanyama, and his son burned a $3,500 signed jersey in anger.

Per the New York Post on June 14, a man named Godlewski claimed that on the eve of the New York Knicks' historic Game 4 Finals win, he and his party were thrown out of a luxurious penthouse suite at the Ritz-Carlton, with the blame directed at Spurs player Victor Wembanyama.

Godlewski, known for his online streams, podcasts, and social media presence where he frequently talks about numerology and politics, said he and five others were removed from a $20,000 penthouse suite.

Godlewski stated he spent a total of $750,000 on tickets for Game 4 and also booked one of the two penthouse suites on the 41st floor of the Ritz-Carlton on West 28th Street in the Nomad district. He was staying there with his two sons, aged 11 and 9, along with his friend Ron and Ron’s son. Before checking in, the hotel did not inform them that Wembanyama was staying in the other penthouse suite next door.

According to Godlewski, around 5 p.m. that day, when he returned to his room, he encountered Wembanyama leaving his suite, apparently heading to Madison Square Garden. He merely greeted the Spurs star and did nothing else.

Godlewski told the New York Post, "I heard Ron (his friend) say to Wembanyama, 'Good luck tonight, big guy.'"

Godlewski claimed that just ten minutes later, a hotel manager came to ask them to leave. "I'm sorry, but you all need to leave the hotel," the manager reportedly said.

"I asked, 'Why?' and they replied, 'We've been informed that you've been harassing the player and waiting outside his room.'"

Godlewski requested that the hotel review surveillance footage to prove his innocence, but they claimed there were no cameras on that floor.

Godlewski said, "That's a blatant lie. I looked up and saw a security camera clearly visible in the hallway, right above her head." He recorded the entire interaction with the hotel staff and has already contacted a lawyer.

Godlewski understands that hotels take security precautions—especially after a Spurs fan was attacked following Game 3 of the Finals, and Wembanyama had shoved Jalen Brunson during that game, making him a primary target for New York fans. But he couldn't understand why the hotel didn't simply have the entire Spurs team book the whole hotel.

"Instead of clearing the entire floor, the hotel placed us on the same floor as Wembanyama. That's ridiculous. It makes no sense at all. If they don't want anyone near Spurs players, especially Wembanyama, they shouldn't put guests in the penthouse suite next to his. This is entirely the hotel's serious mistake."

When checking in, the hotel neither informed them they were on the same floor as Wembanyama nor told them not to speak with the player.

"If the hotel had said in advance, 'You're on the same floor as a player. Please don't interact with him and stay in your room until he leaves,' we would have cooperated without any problem."

Neither the Ritz-Carlton nor Wembanyama's agent responded to requests for comment.

In the end, Godlewski and his group moved to the Trump International Hotel on Central Park West, paying $3,000 for the room. But the negative impact of the situation was already irreversible.

"My 11-year-old son was originally a huge fan of Wembanyama, and this incident devastated him. He couldn't believe that the star he worshipped would treat ordinary people like that. On the way to the arena in the car, he asked me, 'Dad, can I burn my Wembanyama jersey when we get home?'" Godlewski recounted. His son has since burned the signed jersey, worth $3,500.
