Draymond Green has chimed in on the Nicki Minaj and Remy Ma beef, but not exactly as one would imagine. While not picking sides in the feud, the Golden State Warriors star took aim at the Queens rapper for what he says is an overuse of LeBron James’ name in some of her lyrics.
On the latest episode of Green’s “Dray Day” podcast, co-host Marcus Thompson II asked Green about Nicki Minaj’s “No Frauds” response to Remy Ma’s blistering “SHETHER” track.
While Green’s initial response was one of respect for Minaj even taking a chance in responding, the tone of the conversation shifted when the lyrics of “No Frauds” were dissected. Green believes that Minaj just added her Young Money cohorts to boost interest and hide the fact she didn’t have as potent a response as needed to get back at Remy.
“Me personally, I can’t really view it as a diss song, I can only view it as Nicki threw some shots in a song,” said Green. “Because you got Wayne on there, and I don’t even know what Wayne was talking about on there. And then you got Drake on there, they’re really just rapping.”
Green then took aim at the James name-dropping.
“Is Nicki Minaj gonna mention [LeBron James] in every song?” said an exasperated Green. “Every song she’s released since June 2016, it’s something about LeBron in it. I mean LeBron is great, but Jesus Christ, at some point it just becomes too repetitive.”
The offending lyric Green is referencing is: “They say numbers don’t matter but when they discussin’ the kings/They turn around and say LeBron ain’t got six rings.”
Other songs where Minaj names LeBron include DJ Khaled’s “Do You Mind” from 2016’s Major Key and DJ Mustard’s Cold Summer track “Don’t Hurt Me.”
Thompson hopped in and suggested that Minaj shouldn’t be considered a Hip Hop artist at this point, calling the response a “violation” of the order of the culture because of the “No Frauds” pop sound.
Green did say that he enjoys Minaj as an artist but mostly took shots at the fact she has largely left her Hip Hop roots in the past.

I think everybody is tired of Nicki Minaj in general.
I wonder what a Nicky Minaj fart smells like
burnt plastic
WORRY ABOUT THE SPURS, CORNBALL!!!!
I don’t think that fair
Lefraud will never be better than Jordan. Foh with that. Whatever you’re smoking stay off of it.
Prob just a Lebron hater or Jordan fan just by you calling the dude Lefraud you already expose yourself as a hater. Coach K said Lebron was better Jim Bohiem said lebron was better, Scottie said it then back track, Phil said it then back tracked. Bron is just as good, Imo better overall player, I understand the game at a different level than you trust me. Their are a lot of people out here that have a hard
time giving credit to someone just because they dislike them personally it’s that skip bayless syndrome. Lebron could go 13 for 13 with with 30 points 14 rebs and 9 assitst and go 0-2 from the line, win by 10, skip bayless is going to base his arguments around the 2 free throws he missed. No denying MJ’s greatness he is easily ONE of the greatest players ever, Lebron is a beast if you don’t understand that you don’t know Bball, imo Bron is better overall player than jordan.
Trippin Mj goat over any one
Naw Kareem my dude young cats don’t remember guys like that Jordan was great but a litte over hyped by people while people like kareem doesn’t get his due he could score and impact the defense with his length and one of the great Bigs that could actually shoot free throws. Air Jordan vs King James, I would go with James, finals record doesn’t mean anything fans never factor in the comp look at who Air Jordan played in finals vs who James played. Utah was not that great of team not much talent he played Utah twice in finals, Lakers were over the hill, Portland and Seattle were good gotta give them credit for beating them, Phoenix best player was a undersized overweight power forward. James has played the Spurs 3 times and warriors twice, James has had tougher comp in Finals No way Bulls could have went 5-0 in finals against those 3 Spurs teams and those 2 warrior teams.
Only part. I disagree. With is the jazz had 3 hall if famers who made jerry west. Pick. And roll look like. Childs play
By the time lebron is done playing he will have more points-rebounds-assist-blocks than MJ even if lebron won 7 titles and lost 4 people would say well jordan never lost in the finals and I could say while lebron got there more times that says a lot too.
Draymond green is an effeminate crybaby who is only good for 2 things…making “incidental” contact with penises and whining about EVERYTHING
He added, “I feel like [Nicki] tried to use the level of her fans, Wayne’s fans, and Drake’s fans to boost the song up the chart. I feel like she was trying to use that as her diss.”
Green went on to say even if that was Nicki’s strategy she should not have put Drake and Wayne on the record because the Queens rapstress was just trying to take advantage of their followers. – excerpt from AHH since y’all decided to mince it for Nicki. Smh
Fuck them all! Nicki, Draymond, Drake, and Wayne.
