Even though the title makes it seem like Brown might have attacked the sports giants, there was no mention of Nike throughout the song. The tune followed the struggles of Jaylen Brown on and off the court. “Balling ain’t the only thing I know,” is Brown’s most repeated verse from the song.

Can’t say he is wrong though.

The Jaylen Brown and Nike feud

Before 2022, Jaylen Brown endorsed Nike sneakers, proudly wearing them on the court. However, after they dropped Kyrie Irving, the Celtics forward wasn’t happy. As the President of the NBPA, he spoke out in support of KAI and even began removing the swoosh from the Nike shoes from thereon.

Fast forward to the Olympic selection process, and Jaylen Brown’s name didn’t reflect. To add salt to the wound, Team USA had a second chance but chose to go with his teammate Derrick White. The exclusion infuriated Brown who took to X to publicly call out the brand for keeping him off the star-fueled roster.
