Your support makes all the difference.Rapper Lil B has announced a curse against James Harden and the Houston Rockets on Thursday night.
Lil B has accused Rockets guard James Harden of stealing his “cooking dance” without proper credit. The Based God originally gave Mr Harden until Game 3 of the Western Conference finals against their opponent the Golden State Warriors, but he made his presence felt as he called out the player via Twitter.
Harden has yet to respond to the curse that now plagues him. Just minutes after the tweet, Harden had the chance to win the playoff game but mishandled the play. The rapper's dance comes from his song "I Cook.”
This is the second curse Lil B has placed on an NBA superstar. In 2011, he cursed Kevin Durant. The Oklahoma City guard tweeted harsh words to the rapper stating: “I tried to listen to Lil B and my mind wouldn't let me do it... Can't believe this guy is relevant.” Mr Durant has yet to lead his team to an NBA Championship.
The sports world and Lil B’s acolytes tweeted their support of the rapper’s wizardry. The Warriors lead the Rockets 2-0 in the series and Mr Harden has yet to apologise.
