After N.O.R.E. claimed Michael Jordan said ‘F*ck Rap Music!’ and blew off a bunch of rappers not named Jay-Z, the GOAT’s team has fired back. Details via TMZ:
But MJ’s rep, Estee Portnoy, says it’s just not true — telling TMZ Sports, “MJ wasn’t at this party, doesn’t know N.O.R.E., and is a fan of ALL music.”
She adds, “Drake is in his brand, and Nelly is a partner of his with the Charlotte Hornets.”
To be Michael Jordan, you’re not going to be the perfect people person off of the basketball court. In fact, you’re probably going to be the opposite. Even famous people freak out to see Michael Jordan, so when someone doesn’t get the attention they think they deserve, this happens.
This could very well be true and MJ would still deny it just as hard, but in the position he is in, you have to be aware that some of these stories are fabricated.
