In a jaw-dropping revelation, Kevin Durant recently called out Fat Joe for spinning a web of lies about an incident at Rucker Park back in 2011. It all started when Fat Joe claimed people wanted to jump Durant after his legendary performance, but the truth is far from what was portrayed. Durant, setting the record straight, trashed Fat Joe on X igniting wild reactions.
This showdown between Durant and Fat Joe has sparked a frenzy online, with basketball enthusiasts eagerly awaiting each new development. The drama unfolding around this mismatched duo promises a riveting tale of deception, rivalry, and perhaps even redemption.
The Bronx native appeared on the latest episode of the Roommates Show and delivered his account of what occurred after Durant put on a show in his Rucker Park debut.
“He doesn’t like me telling this story, but they chased him out of Rucker Park,” Fat Joe said. “They wanted to beat him up. He whipped their ass so bad that they tried to beat him up out there.”
Joe, 53, added that KD, 35, was even chased to his truck—but the 14-time NBA All-Star called out the rapper on Thursday for delivering “another podcast lie.”
Durant added, “It was nothing but respect and love out there that night, didn’t feel unsafe for one second.”
According to a 2011 New York Post article, Durant shot 9-for-11 on three-pointers in the Rucker Park game, including a stretch in the fourth quarter where he knocked down five straight attempts from way downtown. Following his fifth consecutive basket, the crowd showed their admiration for KD by storming the court and surrounding him.
The video shows Durant walking off the court with people all around, seemingly confirming his account that the reception he received was “nothing but respect and love.” The footage, however, does not show KD making his way to his truck.
“I always wanted to play in Rucker Park all my life,” Durant told park emcee Hannibal after the game.
