Druski roasted by NBA fans for bold 2025 All-Star game stat predictions and lack of defense

Express Tribune14-02-2025

Famed content creator Druski has found himself the target of NBA fans' jokes after making bold predictions about his performance in the 2025 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game. In a recent post, Druski confidently predicted his stat line for the game: '23 points, 0 assists, a couple of rebounds here and there,' adding, 'I don't even play defense, coach ain't teach me that.' His lighthearted and brash prediction quickly went viral, drawing both laughter and criticism from fans on social media.
Druski's bold statement didn't go unnoticed, as fans quickly flooded the comments section with their playful responses. One fan joked, 'He thinks he's Allen Iverson,' referring to the legendary NBA guard known for his scoring ability but lack of defense. Other fans joined in, humorously predicting Druski would rack up '50 water handouts, 20 claps, and 30 cheers,' while another suggested he would contribute '10 Big Macs, 20-piece nuggets, 2 large fries, and 2 sprites.' Fans also joked about his lack of defensive skills, with one commenter noting, 'Bro ain't playing defense, even the coaches know.'
While Druski's predictions had fans laughing, he's not alone on Team Rice. He'll be joined by NBA veterans like Matt Barnes and WWE star Bayley, making the celebrity game a highly anticipated event. Druski has also humorously compared himself to NBA stars like Luka Dončić and LeBron James, poking fun at their high-profile trades and the media attention surrounding them.
Whether or not Druski lives up to his bold predictions, his entertaining persona and antics are sure to make the 2025 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game one to remember.

Nicki Minaj reunites with Lil Wayne on Banned From NO remix packed with NBA bars and sharp disses

Nicki Minaj teams up once again with Lil Wayne on the fiery remix of 'Banned From NO,' reuniting the iconic Young Money duo for the first time in nearly two years. Released at midnight on June 11, the surprise collaboration arrives just days after Tha Carter VI dropped—an album that sparked speculation about a Minaj feature, which ultimately didn't appear. Though her absence from the album disappointed some fans, Minaj makes a commanding return here, kicking off the track with a confident chorus laced with clever NBA-themed punchlines. She name-drops teams like the Indiana Pacers, New York Knicks, and Los Angeles Lakers, delivering rapid-fire bars with her signature wit and aggression. She doesn't hold back on the disses either. Taking aim at media personality Shannon Sharpe, Minaj raps: 'If I send a pic of Shannon you ain't that Sharpe / 'Cause you still can't spell Prague and that's horrible.' The jab combines her knack for punchy wordplay with a sharp personal dig. Elsewhere, Minaj calls out the NFL's history of overlooking Lil Wayne for high-profile performances, despite his deep New Orleans roots: 'NFL, fire some n—as and then call us.' In a moment of homage, she reworks one of Wayne's most iconic lines: 'Weezy F Baby and the F is for Phenomenal,' reinforcing the duo's enduring creative bond. 'Banned From NO (Remix)' marks their first collaboration since 'RNB' off Pink Friday 2 (2023) and arrives as Minaj reportedly begins work on Pink Friday 3. With renewed chemistry and lyrical precision, the track marks a powerful return for two of hip-hop's most legendary voices. The remix is now available for streaming.

Will 2025 be the 'Summer of Punk'?

Summer is here. And if the Karachi heat isn't enough to melt you, CM Punk's promos definitely will. On Monday Night Raw, The 'Best in the World' came face to face with WWE Champion John Cena and challenged him to a match for the title. Cena accepted the challenge and the two will face off at the Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia on June 28. The two had a brief encounter at WWE Elimination Chamber earlier this year. But the story between the two goes way back. In 2011, Cena was the champ when Punk broke out as the greatest thing in pro-wrestling with his infamous 'pipe bomb', that led to one of the best stories in wrestling history. The summer of 2011 became known as the 'Summer of Punk'. But while it wasn't the first 'Summer of Punk' — the first happened in the Ring of Honor promotion in 2005 — it brought Punk a global recognition as being the outspoken, straightedge iconoclast that he is and eventually led to a record-breaking championship reign. Will 2025 see the third 'Summer of Punk'? It's doubtful but very much possible now that things are heating up since WWE Money in the Bank premium live event this past weekend. Wild card Seth Rollins became the new Mr Money in the Bank, 11 years after his first one, and with that, he can cash in on any world championship for up to a year. On Raw, he teased cashing in on Cena during the latter's face-off with Punk. With Rollins' deep hatred of Punk, it's possible that Punk defeats Cena and Rollins' cashes in on Punk, continuing their rivalry. No matter the outcome, Punk will either go on another championship reign or fight Rollins to the edge of the world until one of them falls over. In both cases, Punk is done playing nice and being a team player. He's coming for the title. It's also fascinating that from 2011 to 2014, whenever Punk and Cena faced off, Cena was the face and Punk the heel or a tweener. And yet Punk was widely cheered by the audience, and Cena booed most of the time, with only his pre-teen fan base rooting for him. On Monday, it was a similar soundscape with some role reversals. This time, Punk is a face and Cena a heel. And yet, the more things change, the more they remain the same. Most of the crowd favoured Punk, with intermittent chants of 'Let's go Cena' and 'Cena sucks' piping in. The only difference was the adult voices rooted for Cena and the kids against him. Right match, wrong show It's also confusing why WWE is choosing to have this match in Saudi Arabia when they could save it for the biggest show of the year, SummerSlam, in August. There is enough history between the two to continue this renewed rivalry for the next two months and give them a bigger spotlight at SummerSlam. It's very much possible that this match will end in shenanigans that will continue the rivalry or divert it from Punk and Cena to Punk and Rollins. With the involvement of Rollins, it's inevitable that Roman Reigns might play a part in it too. There's also a chance that Rollins cashes in on the new World Heavyweight Champion Gunther, who ended Jey Uso's short reign on Raw. Another factor is the eventual King of the Ring winner, who will be crowned at WWE Night of Champions and receive a guaranteed world title shot at SummerSlam. Sami Zayn has already qualified for the semi-finals but the returning former champ Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton or someone else could still win it all. Rest assured, the world title picture remains as unpredictable as Punk himself. As they say, all roads lead to WrestleMania. But the roads shall pass through the summer that's quickly heating up. Whether Punk sets the shows ablaze and goes on a rampage or someone else reigns supreme, it's bound to be a hell of a summer for WWE. Truth and Evolution Additionally, WWE righted the wrong and rehired R-Truth back after massive backlash from both fans and peers. Truth's new direction includes him reverting to his real name Ron Killings. Essentially the truth set Killings free on Monday as he cut his dreadlocks. What his road looks like remains to be seen. But he's done being a comedy act for now. The whole situation was a pity as Truth faced Cena recently and was released the week after. But thankfully, WWE listened to the negative reactions and brought him up. While Truth is one of the best comedy acts in WWE history, a serious Killings can also deliver big time as he has done it several times in his career. WWE is also ramping things up in the women's roster, with the Queen of the Ring tournament, similar to the men's version. They are also bringing back WWE Evolution, a premium show focusing only on women's matches, for the first time since 2018.
