2 Chainz and his dog Trappy speak during a press conference at adidas Creates 747 Warehouse St., an event in basketball culture, on February 16, 2018 in Los Angeles, California.

2 Chainz isn't happy the NBA didn't call.

2 Chainz is undoubtedly one of the most notable basketball/rappers in hip-hop. Last year, he and Snoop Dogg led Adidas' hip-hop basketball game during All-Star weekend. However, 2 Chainz has never been invited by the NBA to play in the celebrity All-Star game. After the celebrity teams were revealed, which include Quavo, Dr. Oz, and Bad Bunny, 2 Chainz aired out the NBA for never reaching out to him.

2 Chainz thinks he might be blacklisted by the NBA. The rapper took to Instagram to share a lengthy message about his relationship with the basketball league. He suggested that the reason he hasn't been invited to play in the Celebrity All-Star game is because of an incident that occurred in 2013. He said that he apologized on behalf of his friend who allegedly insulted a female NBA staff member. Despite this, he feels like they continue to disrespect him.

"HEY @nba YOU HAVE NEVER REACHED OUT FOR ME TO PLAY AND TO CLEAR SOME THINGS UP BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE IVE BEEN GETTIN SHITTED ON BY THE LEAGUE SINCE 2013 when SOMEONE IN MY CAMP APPARENTLY CALLED A WOMAN OUT OF HER NAME at the game .,,saying he felt disrespected , David Stern was still in office , ANYWAY !!he was wrong and I apologized on this behalf !!IM ONE OF @nba BIGGEST SUPPORTERS and BARELY GET “COURTSIDE” TIX EVERY ALLSTAR ITS SOMETHING 😤 there I had to vent I’m over it! #raporgototheleague," he wrote.
