I honestly don’t remember this, but years ago, Kevin Durant apparently said some not-so-nice things about The Based God; naturally, the Bay Area rapper and his legion of social media fans have made sure that KD hasn’t forgotten about it to this very day.
In a recent interview at the NBA2K15 launch party in NYC, Durant attempts to make peace, because simply put: it’s gotten to be pretty ri-gotdam-diculous.

Well, it was just me, him, and Swizz in the studio. The Mary J. Blige session. Swizz did the beat. Hov was rapping on it. They wanted to update the song. So, it was me, Swizz, and Jay Z in the studio. After they just got off Hot97 cyphering and all that. So, Swizz introduced me as like the hottest nigga in the street. Hov like ‘What? You ain’t just hear my niggas on the radio? I got the hottest niggas. What is you talking about?’ Then he looking at me. ‘Nigga, you don’t even look big enough for Beans. You don’t look old enough for Free. What you want me to put you up against Chris, my 16-year-old?’ And he started talking crazy. And at the time, this before I was polished in the industry. I was right from the street. So, I was a little more hot-headed. I was getting a little aggravated. Swizz seen it. So, I’m like ‘Nigga, I don’t give a fuck who you call. You can call all them niggas. I’ll crush any of them niggas. I don’t give a fuck who you call.’
