After visiting Sportscenter and making her rounds on radio and TV for The Prinkprint, Nicki Minaj was back with in the sports world on Thursday night, joining the TNT crew on Inside the NBA. Joining Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith, Shaquille O’Neal and Grant Hill, the hosts put her up to a cypher with them, seeing that they all had something musical in common.
The results were hilarious.
Kenny rapped like he was in the ’80s, Grant had to bust out a paper for his freestyle, Shaq proposed to Nicki for his verse and Ernie kicked a few bars at the end and dropped the microphone on them. Of course, Nicki spit a verse with basketball references. If you missed it when it came on last night, catch the TNT cypher above.
Oh yeah, Charles Barkley has to be so mad he wasn’t there.
