Lonzo Ball caused quite a stir back in the summer when he took a shot at rap artist Nas and claimed that he is no longer relevant in the hip-hop scene. That caused the rap legend's manager to fire back at the Los Angeles Lakers point guard by calling him “oatmeal face,” before Ball clarified his statement, and ending their back-and-forth.
However, the 20-year-old UCLA product recently showed how savage he and Big Baller Brand can be when he launched a preview of his new apparel. It included a shirt with his face on it, but photoshopped on top of Nas' 1996 album, “It Was Written.”

While the shirts are not yet available on the BBB website, it is expected to be sold there soon, especially with how controversial it is. The Ball family have not been shy to take on much talked about topics, with their CEO and Lonzo's father, LaVar Ball, consistently finding a way to bring more attention to him and his sons.
It remains to be seen how Nas will respond to the latest shot the younger Ball fired against him. It could once again start a fiery exchange between them, which appears to be the intent of the Balls when they decided to launch his apparel, which included the Nas-inspired shirt.
