Lil Wayne's Alleged Ban From NBA Games Began With His Chris Bosh Beef

During the 2013 NBA All-Star Weekend in Houston, Lil Wayne was absent from any official league-sanctioned events, but he performed in the city on February 16, 2013. Lil Tunechi used the opportunity to explain why he had not attended the All-Star festivities. “The NBA banned me from all NBA events. It’s because the Miami Heat told them to ban me,” he said on stage, per TMZ. Then Wayne bashed the Miami Heat superstars. “F*** LeBron, f*** She-Wade, f*** Chris Bosh, f*** all of them n***as, man,” Wayne said before dropping the hammer. “And … I f***ed Chris Bosh’s wife,” he told the Houston crowd.

Prior to that rant, rumors had spread that the “Mirror” rapper had a tryst with Chris Bosh’s wife, Adrienne Bosh — back when she was a model who went by the nickname “Short Stack,” and before she had met her future husband. Shortly after Wayne’s tirade went viral, Adrienne retweeted a quote that appeared to refute the rapper’s claim. “Truth prevails. Today stand in your truth and ignore the chatter around and about you,” Adrienne retweeted in February 2013.

Shortly after his anti-Heat rant, Wayne doubled down on his position. Appearing on Miami’s 99 Jamz in February 2013, the artist claimed his outburst was not the result of being intoxicated. “Let me start off by saying I don’t apologize for that night,” he said, via Spin. Months later, however, Wayne would change his tune about Bosh.
