I tweeted "Free Palestine" and within ten minutes, the NBA commissioner called, telling me to stop. Agents and people associated with my foundation were telling me to take it down, warning me about potential repercussions in Texas. I was confused, asking what I did wrong. Essentially, I went against the norm and said something people didn't like. I realized I needed to stand by my beliefs. In the league, there's pressure to stay silent, because saying too much could cost you your job. Many former players are in that position, so you feel like you constantly have to hold your tongue.

I support Palestine and I don't consider my actions a crime. I vandalized a Starbucks and didn't hide my face because I believe I'm fighting for justice and peace. The next morning, the police were called on me by a Jewish boy and his girlfriend who questioned my actions. I didn't know what would happen, but now, almost 24 hours later, I find myself doxxed online. I'm not sure what that means, but I'll have to look it up soon.

Family, Hollywood, and agencies have turned on me. I've been blacklisted for not sharing their beliefs. I remain unbothered because I trust in God's plan. Despite being called names like Uncle Tom and sellout, threats don't faze me.

As an entertainer, I stayed silent for a long time to avoid splitting my audience. But watching the chaos at the border, the economy, and Trump's family pushed me to speak up. When there was an attempt on Trump's life, I couldn't stay quiet anymore. It was a business decision to stay silent before, but now I'm on board.

They're not giving us money, just acknowledgment. I don't want that. I've been banished, exiled, canceled. My kids don't even show up to Sunday service. Celebrities like Dave Chappelle, Meek Mills, Diddy are controlled by handlers. They call and put a leash on them. The agenda is to make them do what LeBron and Drake would do. My stance on this is well known.

They can't control me like they control Shaq, Charles Barkley, LeBron James, Jay-Z, and Beyonce. It ain't no name I won't name. To Farrakhan, I love you, but I took that as a slight. I don't take disrespect from nobody. I only serve God. My mama was sacrificed. Michael Jordan's daddy, Bill Cosby's son, Doctor Dre's son. In Hollywood, people come up missing to control and traumatize. They wanna monetize and traumatize. God loves me. Gap, Adidas, all that went away. Forbes had to write net worth 400,000,000. Jesus is king. This truth is gonna be heard. I never killed nobody, so I can say whatever I want and not go to jail.

I've lost a lot of friends. I've particularly in the Israel question, I've never talked about Israel. I'm not a hater of Israel. Netanyahu is really hurting The United States and the world. It's completely out of control. Over twenty years, twenty five years. And, so I've always had that view, but I've kept it to myself because it's not worth it. But we've been pushed so hard and used so much by him that it's just terrible for the country that I I grew up in. And so I've said something and, you know, you do that and people you really, like, had dinner with and really liked are all of a sudden denouncing you as a Nazi or whatever. I never wanted that and it makes me sad now.

They can control figures like Shaq, Charles Barkley, LeBron James, Jay-Z, and Beyonce, but they can't control me. I'm taking no disrespect from anybody, including Farrakhan. I only serve God. My mom was sacrificed, and so was I. Michael Jordan's dad, Bill Cosby's son, and Dr. Dre's son were also mentioned. In Hollywood, many people go missing, possibly to control and traumatize them for monetization. Despite losing deals with Gap and Adidas, Forbes estimated my net worth at $400 million. God loves me, and that's more important than keeping your life. The truth will be heard. Meek Mill and others are puppies with legal issues, but I've never killed anyone, so I can say whatever I want without going to jail.

This is a biblical moment, like when Jesus on the cross said, "God forgive them, for they know not what they do." All these people are asking me to step down, and I say, God forgive them. Are you stupid? I'm running my race right now.

The speaker tweeted "free Palestine" while playing for the Houston Rockets and claims they were kicked out of the NBA as a result. They received a call from the NBA commissioner less than ten minutes after the tweet, and people working with their foundation urged them to erase it. The speaker questioned what they did that was so bad, but felt it was because they went against the grain. They decided to stand on what they believe, despite the risk of not getting another job. The speaker reached a point where they couldn't trust anyone, leading to a period of silence. However, they realized that either they speak their mind, or others will speak for them, and they chose to speak.

I got into a fight with Mike Mac. Every time somebody says anything about Israel, he had a meltdown, and it was during Mandy's space. I wasn't even the one that said it, but whatever. We get into this fight, and he just kept saying shit like, if you're gonna have the badge by your name, then you need to, you know, whatever, or you should create an alt account to say whatever. And so, I responded publicly via post, I snipped what he had said in that space, and I was like, first of all, let's get this shit clear. my only condition is that none of my speech will ever waver. Right? Like, there's not gonna be any censorship of my speech or any steering of narratives. That that was my only condition. And so, anyway, when I responded with that, later on, I think it was that night or the night after, whatever. It was right around that time, that's when they said that he called the meeting and was like, we need to pull out of the political conversations because it's having a bad effect on, you know, our long term success. He's launching this product, this this in fact based whatever thing, and he didn't want the political volatility to, you know, impact his brand. And he was like, so it's up to you. I'm still not trying to censor you. I'm giving you the option. Do you want to stay or go? You know? And I said, well, I'm not gonna not be able to participate in these political mean, that's what I do. Like, what else am I gonna do? Fucking sit in little painting spaces? I mean and I didn't say that, but, like, you know, I'm thinking that. So, anyway, I'd said, you know, so I you know, I'm gonna continue to participate. So that's when that happened. That's why I pulled out. But it wasn't like they they still never told me what to say and not to say. He was saying this is what we changing directions, you know, for the for the long term success of his business. He didn't tell me that I needed to change anything. He's just saying, are you with it or not type thing.

I was canceled for speaking out about Harvey Weinstein before it became public knowledge. He actually offered to perform a sexual act in front of my colleagues at my agency. When I arrived on set, I realized there were three other black actors there. I refused his offer, but I wonder what the others did. This is why people show respect when I enter a room, even though they may talk negatively about me behind my back. I am not willing to take shortcuts or be silenced by those who pay to control the narrative. They admit this themselves.

My video discussing an offer of $5,000 to publicly support Israel on TikTok was taken down. I received a racist email stating that I had fallen for lies and should not spread terrorist propaganda. Many other influencers have also received similar offers. Israel is trying to buy support for their war, but they cannot buy my morals or opinions. I refuse to support the murder of innocent Palestinians and the denial of basic necessities. Terrorism in response to terrorism is still terrorism. Beware of influencers who have been bought out. Free Palestine. Have a great night.

Hide and seek has always involved accountability to someone, whether it's fans or employers. I've longed for someone with similar views who isn't beholden to anyone, and then Trump emerged. The frustration from others stems from people like me who had to issue public apologies to keep our jobs. When the Braves asked me to apologize, I felt it was necessary to maintain my position. I didn't write the apology myself; someone else did. This situation is reminiscent of Ozzie Guillen's experience with the Marlins, where he faced backlash for his comments. Apologies often stem from contractual obligations and the pressure to conform to societal expectations.

They can't control you. They try to suppress and categorize, but they can't control me. They can control celebrities like Shaq, Charles Barkley, LeBron James, Jay Z, and Beyonce, but not me. I took offense to something you said, so let's talk it out. I don't take disrespect from anyone. The only person I serve is God. Many people in Hollywood go missing, possibly to control and traumatize. Despite the hate, Forbes reported my net worth as $400 million. God loves me, and that's what matters. The truth will be heard. I don't have to listen to anyone because I haven't killed anyone, so I can say whatever I want without going to jail.

A former Houston Rockets player recalls a pivotal moment from a couple of years ago when he tweeted “free Palestine.” He says that as a result, he damn near got kicked out of the league. Immediately after posting the tweet, he received a call from the commissioner of the NBA, and people working with his foundation in Texas urged him to erase the tweet, insisting he would get in trouble. He wondered what he had done that was so bad. The other speaker asks for an explanation, prompting the first speaker to reflect on why he faced such a response. He explains that he went against the grain by saying something people didn’t like, and that led to repercussions. He emphasizes that it wasn’t just that “people didn’t like” it, but that the reaction was strong enough to force him to consider backing down. He describes a period when he was in a leadership position and felt that if he said too much, he might lose his job. This created a climate where he stopped trusting anyone, leading him to decide not to say anything or do anything. He notes that this silence became a problem because others began speaking for him. Over the years, he says, it felt like he had to choose between staying silent or letting others voice opinions about him. He concludes that he eventually chose to speak for himself, deciding, “I’m a speak and that’s the end of it.” The dialogue underscores a tension between personal beliefs, public expectations, and professional risk, highlighting the pressure he felt to conform versus his determination to stand by what he believed.

I tweeted "Free Palestine" and within ten minutes the NBA commissioner called, telling me to delete it. My agents and foundation people echoed the sentiment, warning me about the repercussions. I was confused, wondering what I'd done wrong, but it was simply because I went against the grain. I had to stand my ground and not retract my statement. Being in the league puts you in a precarious position. Speak out too much, say the wrong thing, and you might find yourself out of a job. That fear of losing opportunities silences a lot of players.

Everyone experiences emotions. When I was physically hurting someone, people weren't considering my mental state, they were only seeing it from one perspective. There were a couple of instances where my baton got caught behind someone's back, and as it rolled up, I lost my balance and accidentally hit them again when I swung my arms. I know I would never intentionally hurt anyone. People are judging my character based on a nine-second video, calling me names like ghetto and racist, and even sending death threats.

The speaker states that they tweeted "free Palestine" while playing for the Houston Rockets and were subsequently kicked out of the league. They received a call from the NBA commissioner less than ten minutes after the tweet, urging them to take it down. The speaker questions what they did that was so bad, suggesting the issue was going against the grain. They decided to stand on their beliefs, despite the risk of losing their job. This led to a period where they felt they couldn't trust anyone, choosing to say and do nothing. However, this created a new problem, as others began speaking for them. The speaker resolved to speak their mind, regardless of the consequences.

They can't control me like they control Shaq, Charles Barkley, LeBron James, Jay Z, and Beyonce. I won't be categorized. I took offense to Farrakhan's reading, but I'm open to talking it out. I only serve God, as my mom and others have been sacrificed. Many people go missing in Hollywood, possibly to control and traumatize. God loves me, and that's more important than fame or wealth. My truth will be heard, unlike Meek Mills or Lil Boosie who have legal issues. I can say whatever I want without going to jail because I've never killed anyone.

I drove through my old neighborhood in Los Angeles, reflecting on growing up there. Doctor Dre used to visit; his cousin, Sir Jinx, lived on my block and later became one of my producers. My family has been in the area since 1962. It's a tough place; many people I knew are buried in the local cemetery. Politicians haven't improved the city much. They prioritize those who donate money. I once hoped Obama would bring change, but things remained largely the same for my community. Companies pledged money to Black Lives Matter, but much of it was siphoned off. My basketball league, Big3, aims to empower, but the NBA, despite its slogans, doesn't seem to support it. I believe in speaking the truth, even when it's unpopular. I refused the COVID vaccine because it felt rushed, and I wanted to stand by my convictions, even at the cost of millions.

I recently drove through my old neighborhood in Los Angeles. Doctor Dre used to come by my house, he lived down the street. My family has been here since 1962. Growing up here was tough, out of all the kids I knew, at least 13 are dead before 21. Politicians only care about those who give them money, I don't donate because they have hidden agendas. I had hope for Obama, but things didn't change much for the people I care about. Companies pledged money to Black Lives Matter, but it didn't improve the neighborhood. The NBA is full of slogans but lacks real action, like supporting the Big 3. I wouldn't be where I am if I stayed in my lane, I refuse to be controlled. I turned down $9 million for a movie because I wouldn't take the COVID vaccine. It wasn't ready, and I didn't feel safe. I know people injured by the vaccine, and I chose to stand on my convictions.

They can't control you. They try to suppress and categorize, but they can't control you like they control Shaq, Charles Barkley, LeBron James, Jay Z, or Beyonce. They can't control me either. I don't take disrespect from anyone. Let's talk it out. The only person I serve is God. Many people in Hollywood go missing, and it feels like they want to control and traumatize to monetize. But God loves me, and that's more important. I have a net worth of $400 million. I can say whatever I want without going to jail because I've never killed anyone.

During the Beijing Olympics, I reached out to various athletes, including Olympians, for support. They admired what I was doing but couldn't openly express it due to their endorsement deals and contracts. I asked them to imagine if their loved ones were suffering in concentration camps and whether they would stay silent. This often made them uncomfortable and they would leave the room.

They can control others like Shaq, Charles Barkley, LeBron James, Jay-Z, and Beyoncé, but they can't control me. I'm not afraid to speak out and name names. I refuse to take anything from anyone; I only serve God. My mother is gone, and she was sacrificed. They can't control me.
