According to N.O.R.E., Michael Jordan once said “fuck rap.”
Although Jordans have been rocked by those in the Hip Hop community for years, N.O.R.E. says the man behind the brand is “a hater of Hip Hop.” During an appearance on the Rap Radar podcast, the Queens, New York rapper shared the story of his experience with Jordan at a Def Jam holiday party.
Before revealing that the famed basketball player declared “fuck rap,” during the party, he says Jordan also shut down Redman and Method Man. He then explained that hearing Jordan’s anti-Hip Hop rhetoric hurt, especially given the setting for the party.
“I seen him shut Redman down at a Def Jam Christmas party,” N.O.R.E. said, according to The Source. “We were all sitting there waiting to speak to Michael Jordan. Niggas said, ‘Yo, Redman and Method Man is here.’ [MJ] said, ‘Fuck rap.’ I seen the nigga say that…Quote me. I believe it was Redman and Method Man, and I’m to the side, so I can directly hear his voice. He was like, ‘Fuck rap.’ That shit hurt me. Def Jam Christmas party, Mariah Carey hosting and shit like that. He only spoke to Hov, but he spoke to Hov. That’s without a doubt.”
N.O.R.E. also revealed that Jordan, who was once called a “scumbag” by Vince Staples, was to make an appearance in his “Oh No” video, but asked that his image be taken out of the video. The music video included footage from a boxing match Jordan attended.
“The original video had Michael Jordan in there. Jordan is a hater of hip hop,” the rapper said.

Like Jordan said to other basketballers wearing his shoes, don’t embarrass my shoes. That’s how he feels about rap, it’s embarrassing him. Rap is embarrassing nowadays…..period.
Ok…..and…..
Jordan already told folks how he felt, just ask Chamillionaire…. still don’t stop yall from coppin the newest Jordans every week.
DEEZ RAP NIGGAZ NEED TO GET OFF ATHLETES DICKS!!!! IT’S FUNNY HOW ALL THE “THUG” RAPPERS ACT SENSITIVE CUZ MJ SAY FUCK RAP NIGGAZ NEED TO GET OVER IT
Ummmmmm……..so? I feel like I shouldn’t care what Jordan’s music taste is considering he’s a ball player and not a musician. What does his taste in music have to do with buying his sneakers? This is really stupid
For allegedly being “super thug” these rappers are the most sensitive ass niggas alive. Jordan didn’t grow up on rap and even if he did and didn’t like it who gives a f^@@
Typical stereotyping bullshit by black people if your black you should listen to rap music and enjoy big fat asses have rythem and be good at sports and they say white people are the ones reinforcing stereotypes huh?
thats a fact..they sterotype themselves in rap and get mad when white ppl use the term..like thug
every rapper in the world calls themselves a thug and got turned into a term of endeerment..then when black thugs (obv criminals not all black ppl) started doing thug shit and got called a thug the black community got mad ..fuck em
And thats the problem…dont just say fuck em i dont give a fuck if any black person white person or person of any color we are all human beings and we are all brothers and sisters in a sense and we need to start getting along as such… but everyone is busy pointing out differences and when an agreement cant be met both sides just say fuck it… its sad because nothing will ever get resolved or become any better and tension and differences will just keep building and building.. do in essence homie honestly fuck you for giving up on people
Hey, but these sheep will still buy multiple pair of J’s to impress other people, meanwhile Jordan could care less if you live or die.
so bc jordans black he has to like hiphop? who cares if he dont like rap.
black people always up jordans ass like he owes you shit bc hes a billionaire. he dont owe not 1 person
in this world anything no matter the color of your skin. he dont owe the hood a damn thing
the same hood that killed his dad. he dont owe noone a DIME.
But at the same time Jordan wants us blacks and other to by his shit! The negro cant have it both ways. You are right he don’t owe nobody shit but at the same time don’t shit on the people (his fellow black people) I should add) who back you. By the way the streets didn’t kill his dad, them people he got caught up with made him have his dad killed
I need pure nembutal!
he is entitled not to like rap. that’s not a sin, nor a secret. but this is also the greatest black athlete that NEVER spoke up for the cause of equality and justice for black people in america. he probably gave a shitload of money to various charities but he also invested in the prison system. y’all do the math
What you said! The greatest sportsman/activist is Muhammad Ali an also Kareem Abdul Jabar.. Be Healthy
Except he didn’t invest in the prison system. That was a white man named Michael Jordan. Look it up.
This rapper needs to grow up. MJ when it comes to his image is about money and his brand. We have seen him sue individuals or corporations for using his $hit. You shooting a video for profit, and he’ssuppose to let you use his image for free? Look I like MJ, I think he’s an A-hole, but right is right, instead of crying and burning business, give him an offer he can’t refuse…FYI he’s got real money, it’s gotta make sense.
