Killer Mike, Grammy-winning rapper has issued an apology to Steph Curry and his wife Ayesha after throwing a little too much shade their way.
The drama started when Mike made some spicy comments ridiculing the couple and now, he thinks he went too far and it’s appropriate to render an apology to the couple.
The Atlanta rapper broadcast his apology during an appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay on Wednesday (Oct. 1), chalking it up to his words being “misconstrued” and saying that he was high at the time.
“Steph Curry, Ayesha Curry — boy, my wife done cussed me out,” Mike admitted. “My oldest daughter called me. My youngest daughter called me. … Homeboys that have played in the NBA called me.”
Killer Mike continued: “And I realized that maybe I shouldn’t smoke and get on Instagram. So let me say this, ’cause I appreciate you checking it; it shows you have a tremendous amount of respect for me. Mrs. Ayesha Curry and her husband Steph, I apologize for my statement being misconstrued.”
Mike’s comment stemmed from his reaction to content creator BooWoodz’s skit teasing Ayesha Curry, poking at her alleged thirst for attention to take the spotlight from her Hall-of-Fame hubby.
“She wants to be GloRilla or some sh–,” BooWoodz said in the clip posted in September. “Like we get it, bro. Just drop an an album or some sh–. Stop embarrassing this man, bro. This sh–‘s getting pathetic.”
Killer Mike had a laugh at the video and hopped into the comments, writing: “My n—a said she wanna go be Glo!!!” he wrote. “Man Steph doesn’t deserve the embarrassment frfr. God Bless him.”
Steph Curry got wind of Mike’s comments and he replied, defending his wife. “Naaaa not you Mike,” the Golden State Warriors superstar wrote, checking the rhymer. “I’m cool [staying] silent and letting these other clowns have [their] moment! And you’re the worst of them [BooWoodz]. But you’re better than that [Killer Mike]. Stay in your lane and let God keep blessing me like he is. We r good over here.”
Mike clearly realized he was in the wrong and continued to repeatedly apologize, as Shannon Sharpe ribbed him throughout the interview.
“I was just stoned up, trying to make a joke,” the Run the Jewels rapper offered up as an excuse. “It wasn’t my damn business, like my wife said. So, I’m sorry, y’all.”
In the end, it’s all love. Or at least, love and a reminder that not every opinion needs to be on a podcast.
