IFWT_Nick-Young-0-Los-Angeles-Lakers-2015

Despite the Lake Show turning into the Sh*t Show, Nick Young aka Swaggy P has continued to make a name for himself.  He hit the pinnacle of his aspirations after Kanye West shouted him out on his new track “Facts”; a song many deemed a Nike diss.  Young did an interview with Billboard and he discussed the song, Michael Jordan’s son’s response to it and his fiancee Iggy Azalea.

Where were you when you first heard Kanye West’s “Facts”?

Aw man, I was on my way home, trying to get dressed for my New Year’s event and a couple of my teammates called and texted me [about the song] and I didn’t know what they was talkin’ about. I was like, ‘Y’all playin’, y’all lyin’, man.’ They sent me the SoundCloud [link] and I was like, ‘Aw, it’s over. I’m the man now.’

 

What are your thoughts on Michael Jordan’s son, Marcus, responding to “Facts”?

There’s nothing you could really say about the issue. What [Kanye’s] been doing with shoes and clothes, 2015 was Kanye’s year. I understand [Marcus] defending his pops but I think we won this year. Adidas won this year.

Your fiancee, Iggy Azalea, has been hard at work on the new album. What does Digital Distortion sound like so far? 

Aw man, it’s gonna be the best album of 2016. I got my Swaggy P feature on it so that’s why it’s gon’ blow up. [Laughs] I see how hard she be in the studio and I heard a couple songs. Couple surprises and a lot of features on there. It’ll be dope.
