*Dwight Howard is being sued by a man who reportedly claims the two stopped dating because of the NBA star’s infidelity with other transgenders.

Masin Elije’s suit alleges that Howard approached him in Nov. 2018 and threatened him to sign an NDA “regarding their communications.” When he refused, Dwight became hostile. But Howard says Elije’s claims are BS — telling TMZ Sports he’s never even met Masin.

“I don’t know this person, never seen him. Any allegation said about me is false,” he said.

The outlet obtained a copy of Elije’s suit, filed in Georgia. In the documents, Masin is not specific about what exactly Dwight wanted to keep on the low, — but says he refused to sign the NDA and tried to end all contact with Howard.

Elije claims Dwight then became hostile — and made “threats on his life.”

The lawsuit says … “Mr. Elije started receiving threats to his safety and well-being via a multitude of phone calls, text messages, communications on various social media platforms and emails, all of which were from unfamiliar or disguised sources.”

Elije claims he contacted Dwight’s family members and also police in the hopes of getting the threats to stop … “all to no avail.”

He is now suing for assault and intentional infliction of emotional distress and punitive damages, the report states. Masin also wants the judge to force Dwight to cover all of his legal expenses.

Dwight tells TMZ Sports he plans to hit back with legal action of his own against what he describes as a “money grab.”

BlackSportsOnline first reported about Masin’s lawsuit. The outlet writes “Last year, Elije in a series of tweets and Instagram posts accused Dwight Howard and his Pastor Calvin Simmons of sexually harassing, threatening and manipulated him.”
