Renowned figures in the hip-hop world, Kid Capri and Sway Calloway, united to express their admiration for Ice Cube and his Big3 league, emphasizing its positive impact on local economies. In an exclusive interview with TMZ Hip Hop, conducted on a mild winter day in NYC, Kid Capri, accompanied by his artists The Hoodies, did not mince words when declaring that the NBA should feel ashamed for allegedly interfering with Ice Cube’s operations.
The controversy surfaced a couple of months ago when TMZ Sports reported that the U.S. Department of Justice initiated an investigation into claims that the NBA obstructed players, owners, and referees from participating in the Big3 league due to concerns that its popularity was overshadowing the NBA.
As Kid Capri shared his perspective on the matter, Sway Calloway spontaneously
joined the conversation, echoing the sentiment of the community’s staunch support for Ice Cube. Sway emphasized the positive impact of Big3 teams playing in cities like Chicago, Dallas, and Brooklyn, highlighting the boost in job opportunities for these markets. In contrast to the alleged reservations of NBA higher-ups, Sway suggested that the communities involved have nothing to complain about regarding the Big3’s influence.
Regardless of the outcome of the Department of Justice investigation, Ice Cube can rely on the unwavering support of the hip-hop community, as evidenced by Kid Capri and Sway Calloway’s endorsement. The duo emphasized the significance of Ice Cube’s contribution to the sports world through the Big3, portraying him as a national treasure deserving of admiration.
