SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — Rapper Lil B and NBA superstar Kevin Durant have been feuding for years now.
In 2012, Durant reportedly called Lil B a “whack rapper” and the artist took offense to that and made it known on social media. Durant also had a Tweet in 2011 poking fun at him.
I tried to listen to Lil B and my mind wouldn’t let me do it….can’t believe this guy is relevant— Kevin Durant (@KDTrey5) January 29, 2011

Lil B called out Durant to a game of 1 on 1 in basketball several times, but the star forward has never replied back.
Four years later, Durant agreed to play for the Golden State Warriors. Lil B is from the Bay Area and with Durant playing for his hometown team…and the curse was offically lifted.
