Rapper Killer Mike has publicly apologized to NBA superstar Steph Curry and his wife Ayesha Curry after a viral comment he left on TikTok spiraled out of control.
Speaking on Club Shay Shay with Shannon Sharpe, the Grammy winner admitted his words created “more trouble than he anticipated” — and even led to his wife and kids calling him out.
“My Wife Done Cussed Me Out”
Killer Mike explained just how quickly the backlash hit home.
“Steph Curry, Ayesha Curry — boy, my wife done cussed me out,” he shared. “My oldest daughter called me. My youngest daughter called me. … Homeboys that have played in the NBA called me.”
The rapper admitted he realized he crossed a line.
“And I realized that maybe I shouldn’t smoke and get on Instagram,” Mike said with a laugh, before addressing the couple directly: “Mrs. Ayesha Curry and her husband Steph, I apologize for my statement being misconstrued.”
How It Started: The Viral TikTok
The drama began when TikTok creator BooWoodz posted a skit mocking Ayesha Curry, accusing her of seeking too much attention.
In the clip, BooWoodz quipped:
“She wants to be GloRilla or some sh–. Like we get it, bro. Just drop an album or some sh–. Stop embarrassing this man, bro. This sh–’s getting pathetic.”
Killer Mike then jumped in the comments, writing:
“My n***a said she wanna go be Glo!!! Man Steph doesn’t deserve the embarrassment frfr. God Bless him.”
That one comment lit a firestorm.
Steph Curry Responds Directly
Steph didn’t stay silent. The NBA champion addressed Killer Mike directly in the TikTok comments, writing:
“Naaaa not you Mike. I’m cool [staying] silent and letting these other clowns have [their] moment! And you’re the worst of them [BooWoodz]. But you’re better than that [Killer Mike]. Stay in your lane and let God keep blessing me like he is. We r good over here.”
Steph’s calm but pointed clapback highlighted the respect he expected from Mike — and let fans know the Currys were unfazed by the online noise.
Mike Admits He Went Too Far
By the time he sat down with Shannon Sharpe, Killer Mike was ready to own up.
“I was just stoned up, trying to make a joke,” he admitted. “It wasn’t my damn business, like my wife said. So, I’m sorry, y’all.”
