New York Knicks guard Iman Shumpert has heard the buzz about him rapping and he’s pissed off. Many people have said that because he’s rapping he’s not focusing on his basketball career.
The new track is called “#HowToHate” and Shumpert calls out MTV star/radio host Charlamagne Tha God and his co-host DJ Envy.
A couple of bars are:
“I’m so good with words, I go kill the verse, they like homie go and work on your jump shot
Tell Charlamagne when he see me he betta holla at me, hater, Envy betta holla at me, cuz I don’t do the fake sh*t I bet they listen when it buzz with their name in it”
Here’s what Shumpert told TMZ Sports about the track:
“I feel that when cameras are rolling Charlemagne and Envy will say anything for ratings and then behind the scenes will try and whisper that it’s just a job and they don’t mean any harm,” Iman says.
“But they stated some things on the radio that I felt were detrimental to my brand so I will defend my brand.”
Shumpert adds, “I wrote the song because people think they can take shots at people in the public eye and that the celeb will take the high road. Well this song is letting everyone know that even though I’m a celeb I’m a real person that likes to have a solid understanding of respect in any relationship that I have with another person.”
