Mike defined that the backlash reached him shortly and from all angles. “Steph Curry, Ayesha Curry — boy, my wife done cussed me out,” he shared. “My oldest daughter called me. My youngest daughter called me. … Homeboys that have played in the NBA called me.” Looking again, he admitted, “And I realized that maybe I shouldn’t smoke and get on Instagram. So let me say this, ’cause I appreciate you checking it; it shows you have a tremendous amount of respect for me. Mrs. Ayesha Curry and her husband Steph, I apologize for my statement being misconstrued.”

The controversy started when Mike laughed at a TikTook skit from creator BooWoodz, who mocked Ayesha Curry for supposedly in search of consideration. In the video, BooWoodz stated, “She wants to be GloRilla or some sh–. Like we get it, bro. Just drop an album or some sh–. Stop embarrassing this man, bro. This sh–‘s getting pathetic.” Mike responded within the feedback, writing, “My n***a said she wanna go be Glo!!! Man Steph doesn’t deserve the embarrassment frfr. God Bless him.”

Steph Curry later stepped in and instantly responded to Mike’s comment. “Naaaa not you Mike,” the NBA champion wrote. “I’m cool [staying] silent and letting these other clowns have [their] moment! And you’re the worst of them [BooWoodz]. But you’re better than that [Killer Mike]. Stay in your lane and let God keep blessing me like he is. We r good over here.”

By the time he sat down with Sharpe, Killer Mike admitted his mistake. “I was just stoned up, trying to make a joke,” he stated. “It wasn’t my damn business, like my wife said. So, I’m sorry, y’all.”
