Rapper Lil B, who infamously cursed James Harden during a couple of playoff appearances in the last few years for using his popular stir-the-pot celebration, has now cursed rookie Lonzo Ball after the 19-year-old guard said Nas, a rapper with a music career longer than Ball's lifespan, is not keen to people's ears anymore.

The Los Angeles Lakers point guard noted Future and Migos as “real hip-hop,” saying nobody listen to Nas anymore during the first episode of his family reality show “Ball In The Family” — a statement that drew plenty of controversy and even some shots fired from Nas' manager.

For Ball, he isn't really into believing he will start his career with a curse over him as transcribed by Harrison Faigen of Silver Screen and Roll.

“I don’t believe in that,” Ball told Mike Bresnahan of Spectrum Sportsnet in a video interview.“Not at all.”

The future looks bright for Ball, who has been touted as a once-in-every-10-years type of talent and now has plenty of young, hard-charging weapons at his disposal to lead this team.

While often soft-spoken, the Chino Hills native has already stirred the pot a bit with his opinions in the music industry, an action which Lil B didn't take too kindly.
