Remember that time Fat Joe confessed to lying in 90 percent of his raps? Well if you didn’t, Kevin Durant is here with a reminder based on his response to Joey Crack in an unrelated matter.

During A recent appearance on New York Knick’s player’s Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart’s podcast, Fat Joe recounted his experience spectating KD’s infamous game at Rucker park during the NBA lockout season of 2011.

And though his testimony was derived directly from memory, it appears he may have embellished the facts, slighty.

“You know, Kevin Durant was, he scored like 82 points in the third quarter,” Fat Joe started off. “Like, he don’t like me telling this story, they chased him out the Rucker, like they wanted to beat him up.”

He continued, comparing the NBA champion to Iowa University Women’s basketball player Caitlin Clark, in the process.

“He whipped they a## so bad that they wanted to literally beat him up out there. And he was doing like, almost the Caitlin Clark show,” he said. “He was checking it out, woosh, do a three. I mean from the other side of the court, I’m not talking about half-court. No, I was there at the game. I’m not talking about half-court. He was, they checked it out, pass it to him and five guys would go like this [Fat Joe pretends to play defense] and he was hitting them, water. He scored like 80 points I was like, ‘Oh wow.’ I was out there, they chased him into the truck he had to go.”

And even though it was somewhat apparent that Fat Joe was adding a little extra sauce on the story itself, KD wasn’t feeling it at all and addressed the claims in a quoted reply of the video in which he seemingly took the tough guy approach.

“Another podcast lie. It was nothing but respect and love out there that night, didn’t feel unsafe for one second,” KD wrote in his response on Twitter.

Fat Joe has since responded, addressing both Durant’s pushback of his retelling of the story, in addition to acknowledging his affinity for larger than life embellishments when offering oral history.

“I was there he knows I’m not lying 62 points in 3 quarters why was the game stopped it’s all love all i did was big him up ‘GREATEST STORY TELLER IN THE GAME’,” he wrote in a tweet.

Boosie Badazz showed off his new rose gold diamond encrusted Jesus piece at a recent Atlanta Hawks game but not everybody was a fan of the gigantic piece.  

The “Wipe Me Down” hitmaker, who’s given himself the moniker “Mr. Courtside” for his recent antics at the games, took to Instagram Wednesday (April 10), to recount a run-in with a fan. 

“Lady at the game asked me why did I do that to Jesus. I told her, ‘I’m showing everybody to give him the glory,’” he said, flexing the bedazzled pendant, part of a recent $2 million jewelry haul, in the camera.  

When the woman remarked “I don’t think Jesus is gonna like that,” Boosie disagreed before promising to return with another religion-themed piece. “I differ,” he stated. “I’m a wear my bible piece next time, see what she gon’ say.”

Meanwhile, last week, Boosie apologized for his racially charged remarks about former LSU student-athlete Hailey Van Lith. He claimed his emotions got the best of him when criticizing Van Lith for her performance during LSU’s loss to Iowa in the Elite 8. 

“Hey, I want to apologize to Hailey Van Lith,” he said in part. “That’s my bad. I got in my feelings. I really wanted y’all to win, man. 

He continued, saying “I shouldn’t have said what I said,” before adding, “I apologized to you and to LSU.” 

A$AP Rocky did not appear at a status hearing in his assault case on Wednesday (March 6). According to legal reporter Meghann Cuniff, no trial date was set as a pre-trial hearing was scheduled for May 26.

Los Angeles County prosecutors told Judge Karla Kerlin they did not expect a plea deal to avoid trial. Rocky’s lawyer Joe Tacopina previously indicated his desire to prove the rapper’s innocence in court.

“We’re going to try the case in the courtroom,” Tacopina told reporters in January. “And when we do, facts will come out that show that he’s truly innocent. And that he’s a victim in this case.”

Rocky has been accused of shooting his former friend A$AP Relli during a November 2021 confrontation in Hollywood. Relli claimed Rocky fired a shot that grazed Relli’s left hand. Rocky allegedly fired two or three more times before fleeing the scene.

Police arrested Rocky in 2022. Prosecutors charged him with two counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm.

“Discharging a gun in a public place is a serious offense that could have ended with tragic consequences not only for the person targeted but also for innocent bystanders visiting Hollywood,” Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón said in 2022. “My office conducted a thorough review of the evidence in this case and determined that the addition of a special firearm allegation was warranted.

Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, pleaded not guilty to the charges. He remained out of jail after posting a $550,000 bond. His attorney targeted a September 2024 start date for his trial.

“We hope to be on trial by September in this case,” Tacopina said. “I want to get this done and over with so he can start enjoying his family and move on.”

Rocky could be sentenced to up to nine years in prison if convicted. He also faced a lawsuit for assault and defamation in connection to the shooting.
