Former NBA player Charles Barkley is always quick to crack jokes in any situation. During a recent episode of TNT’s “Inside the NBA,” he had the entire crew laughing after making a humorous remark about Jay-Z amid several accusations involving the famous rapper.
Jay-Z was recently named in a revised complaint to a lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs, which was filed in October. Allegations within the filing assert that both Jay-Z and Combs were involved in drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl in 2000. During the recent episode of Inside the NBA, Kenny Smith posed a thought-provoking question regarding whether the other hosts would choose Jay-Z or another iconic figure.
Barkley responded, “Probably not a good time right now.”
NEVER TAKE THIS SHOW OFF AIR 😭😭
