Lil B reignited his feud with Kevin Durant after the NBA star was traded to the Houston Rockets over the weekend.
The rapper infamously hit KD with the Based God Curse over a decade ago, and he’s still looking to lace up against Durant for a game of one-on-one.
“Kevin Durant you still owe me that 1 on 1 you ain’t ready real NBA I really love basketball and hoop I mean that!” he wrote. “Whatever basketball court you want ! And yo raps is trash bithc [sic] – Lil B.”
Lil B continued to bait Durant on X: “Kevin Durant really ain’t bout no basketball sh– yo ain’t go no real paper you really just a ho pull up whenever u ready any basketball court on earth I mean that I’m waiting for you.”
KD isn’t one to shy away from criticism on social media, and he replied to Lil B hours later on X, early Monday (June 23).
“Broke boy asking for a feature in my DM,” Durant responded. “U wouldn’t be able to get a shot off on me lil one, you was once a thing, I’m still that.”
Lil B offered up a subdued response, replying with: “Got It.”
Their beef started in the early 2010s when Durant deemed Lil B to be “wack” and the rapper responded by attempting to curse KD to never win a title.
The California rapper released his “F— KD” diss track in 2014, but ended up temporarily lifting the Based God Curse in 2016 when Durant took his talents to the Golden State Warriors, where KD won a pair of championships and NBA Finals MVP trophies.
After less than three seasons in Phoenix, Durant was traded to the Houston Rockets on Sunday (June 22) for a reported package that includes the 10th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks and other draft capital.
Durant was present at Fanatics Fest in NYC at the time the blockbuster deal was announced. “I just felt like, yeah, that means they wanted me to go,” he told Kay Adams in an interview. “It’s like, I’m glad they got what they wanted and I got what I wanted. So we can move on. Good luck to them going forward. I’ll always remember my time there, but we on to something else.”
