Willie D was once again a guest on VladTV where he was asked about a cartoon made about Chamillionaire’s contentious interaction with NBA legend Michael Jordan in 2009. After showing a clip of the cartoon, the Geto Boys MC weighed in on the alleged incident.
“The thing is, I’m nowhere on his success level in terms of money or whatever, but as a human being, I’m more successful than him because I don’t shit on people,” he said. “I treat people like I want to be treated. I treat human beings with decency, a certain amount of decency, unless, of course, they violate me. Now, if you violate me that’s a different story.
“But, I don’t care what you do for a living. I don’t care how famous you are. I don’t care that you scored 1,000 fuckin’ points in one basketball game. I don’t care if you actually fly muthafucka. I don’t care. You can literally know how to fuckin’ fly and it would not impress me if you are not a good person. I’m more concerned with what kind of person you are.”
The story goes, Chamillionaire ran into the Chicago Bulls superstar at a party for Jordan after bidding over $7,000 for one of his jerseys at a Reggie Bush charity auction. Chamillionaire saw Jordan taking photos with several woman and decided he was going to ask for one too.
In a video posted to his website, Chamillionaire recalled Jordan was sitting next to Spike Lee and members of the Boston Celtics, including guard Paul Pierce.
Chamillionaire walked up to him and said, ‘I don’t mean to be rude, but Mike, I just wanted to know if I could get a picture,” to which Jordan replied, “You know what, I tell you what, you pay $15,000 right now for a jersey from me and I’ll take a picture with you.”
From Chamillionaire To N.O.R.E., Michael Jordan's Hip Hop Relationship Has Its Share Of Horror Stories
The Houston rap vet said he’d never been so “heated” in his life.
Pierce tried to diffuse the situation by saying, “Yo, whoa, chill out. That’s Chamillionaire, man.” But Jordan replied, “I don’t give a fuck, nigga!”
Following the foul meeting, Nike and Jordan allegedly sent a peace offering to Cham, which included jerseys and shoes. However, by this time Cham had lost respect for Jordan and responded,”No, nigga.”
Jordan has been in the media more recently thanks to EPSN’s new docu-series The Last Dance.
Jordan worth billions who the fuck is Cham?
What does it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose your own soul?
Willie D told me to let a ho be a ho so…
Willie D your hero…you delusive!?????… Pass me some of that shit real over here Im from Texas and it is what it is! Im from the ghetto. Say boy when you talking to the holla at me when you want to here real from the adulterated man!

People smoke dope all the time hell…Im high now and I sang better than micheal jackson can ever sinf

FUCK JORDAN. I WILL NEVER GIVE HIM ANY OF MY HARD EARNED $.
Like Jordan gives a fuck about your broke ass lol.
Peace to Willow D and the Geto Boys but Willie if I’m not mistaken, didn’t you shit in ya boy Bushwick? Jordan probably is a dick but you shitted someone too.
No…he didn’t shit on Bill. How? By speaking his truth? Let’s be honest LITTLE BIG MAN was probably no angel. It’s a little different when you ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN. Willie D has never been and will NEVER be a fraud or a fake. It was a tough time for us fans losing Bushwick (R.I.P) but one thing you will never call ”The Gangster Of Love” is a liar. Would u rather this man lie to u? LOVED BY FEW…HATED BY MANY…I thought u knew.
Man Jordan does not owe you ass nothing. 9 times out of ten, Cham wanted to make money off that picture with Jordan. Can you get it? It was a charity event. Raising money for a good cause!!! Black people get over it just because you are black, a black star does not owe you shit!!! You get it. I will never understand why a grown ass man in this situation would bother someone to take a picture of a another man —-Willie D….shut the F up! It is call respect people too! MJ is a very famous man just approaching him could be a danger to his life. Think about that!!!
A charity event with Jordan a presumed willing participant. If Jordan’s worried about his life, don’t even leave the house lol.” Be careful..there’s a black man walking across the road…better tighten your bag-strap”. ”Don’t go to a charity there might be black folk there”…FOH. Why take a photo with Jordan? Because he’s internationally known to be the GOAT and remember it was for charity…so do the charitable thing and give the man a photo or decline politely. Sure, a billionaire can act how they like, it doesn’t mean people have to accept it if they act like a jackass. Willie D ain’t gonna shut up for you or anybody else. Deal with it.
Word up!
More rappers crying about MJ, smh. Shit is beyond pathetic at this point.
MJ changed Chams life. even Cham started to come out with less music after that. Willie forgets that Cham ended up saying fuck rap too nigga don’t be rapping like that anymore
Willie D quickly becoming the southern Lord Jamar.
Why he gotta be the “southern version” of somebody from NY? Like that’s the prototype.
Much respect to Willie D and Lord Jamar ain’t nothing wrong with speaking real truth
