Fat Joe has mocked Gillie Da Kid for thinking he can beat former NBA star Jamal Crawford in a one-on-one game of basketball.
Taking to Instagram to comment on Gillie’s remarks, the rap legend said: “Yo, Gillie gotta stop. Nobody loves Gillie and Wallo more than me, but Gillie one-on-one against Jamal Crawford? I don’t got Gillie scoring two [points].”

“Gillie from Philly, my brother, talking about how he taking on Jamal Crawford — is he on dust? What they got over there in Philly, the tranq [tranquilizer]. You seen that shit where people be just Zombie’d out. It’s worse! Yeah, Gillie gotta relax.”
Sending a message to Crawford ahead of the potential showdown, Joe said: “Break his ankles, man.”
Gillie Da Kid has beaten a number of music stars on the court including Chris Brown and Rowdy Rebel, and recently threw down the gauntlet to Jamal Crawford.
Speaking on his Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, Gillie said: “I bet you Jamal Crawford will not accept this challenge one-on-one. I will cook the shit [out of him]. Let me just say this, Jamal Crawford is gonna get his baskets — that’s what he do. He cook everybody,

“But guess who else going in the oven? Jamal fucking Crawford. He gotta guard me. I’m like Bubba Chuck. I know I’m a muthafucking liability on muthafucking defense, but I’m such a liability on offense that it don’t even fuckin matter.”
Crawford quickly accepted the challenge and raised the stakes by proposing the loser donates $50,000 to charity.
Crawford — who won the Sixth Man of the Year award on three different occasions — wrote on Instagram: “That’s what family is for @wallo267 …But I’m about to do @gilliedaking worst than Hitman Hearns did to Martin. Y’all got new money..50k going to winners charity! It’s on.”
He also said: “Aye @gilliedakid, they slipped you something real serious huh? I don’t bother nobody, now you want ‘Jamal Wick Crawford’ to play 1’s with?! This will be worst than what the Hitman did to Martin. It’s on.”
