Jadakiss made his NBA All-Star Weekend complete with a few jokes at the expense of comedian Mike Epps.
Kiss’s longtime friend Rosewood posted video of him, Kiss and sneaker collector and stylist Terrel Marcus hanging with Epps in Indianapolis during the big basketball festivities.
Part of the video shows the crew in what appears to be Epps’ living room, where he shows off old memorabilia, including an Evel Knievel doll.
But The LOX rhymer was far more interested in an ancient-looking tube TV.
After being amazed that the black-and-white TV still works, Kiss couldn’t resist cracking a joke.
“N-ggas talking about, ‘Fifty years of Hip Hop,’” he said. “Fifty years of Magnavox!”
Overall, the K-I-double had a great time. “He made the all star weekend trip amazing !!!!!” the rapper said of Epps in the comments section of Rosewood’s post.
Jadakiss’ appearance at the NBA All-Star festivities made sense because the rapper is quite a baller himself.
In fact, he recently earned comparisons to Hall of Fame point guard Jason Kidd after showing off some silky basketball skills during a pickup game.
The LOX lyricist posted a video to Instagram earlier this month in which he drives to the hoop before tossing a no-look, behind-the-back pass to a teammate.
Jada captioned the clip: “Dime! on the swivel.”
The pass earned comparisons to NBA legend and current Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd, with one commenter writing: “that was j Kidd esque I ain’t gone front,” while another added: “Jadakidd.”
Someone else praised the rap veteran’s versatility: “At this point there is nothing Jada can’t do. bro really is top 5 dead or alive.”

Though the recent video of him playing basketball earned praise, some of Jadakiss’ hooping decisions haven’t always paid off.
Appearing at a ComplexCon panel in 2022, he explained that he regretted playing basketball in a pair of Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 Low ’07 “MoMA” sneakers that he didn’t know were worth over $10,000 at the time.
“At my twins’ third or fourth birthday party, I didn’t know what it was because he didn’t tell me,” Jada said in disgust while pointing at DJ Clark Kent who was sat next to him. “I choked them shits full court basketball in ’em. And then when I finished with ’em, one of my young re-sellers came up to me, ‘What did you do?!’
“He showed me [the price], I wanted to cry. I was going hard too… I obliterated them, dog — obliterated them, Clark.”
