The Nas trolling of NBA rookie Lonzo Ball won’t stop.
During Tuesday’s (December 12) game against the New York Knicks, the Los Angeles Lakers point guard showed up to the famed Madison Square Garden wearing a hoodie featuring an image of himself on Nas’ It Was Written cover.
The t-shirt trolling comes months after Ball declared that “nobody listen to Nas no more” and referred to the Queensbridge legend as being “outdated.”
The Illmatic creator may have had the last laugh though, given that Ball and the Lakers lost to the Knicks in overtime. Nasty Nas offered his congratulations to the Knicks in an upload made to Instagram.
Ball’s bold fashion choice was met with a great deal of commentary on social media. Check out a sample of the reactions below.

I already disliked Lonzo Ball and then he went and put his face on the cover of Nas’ “It Was Written”. Disrespectful bumass, stay outta NY.
