NBA star Kevin Durant has found himself at the center of fresh social media controversy after allegedly confronting a fan on X (formerly Twitter) for siding with Kendrick Lamar in the widely publicized feud with Drake.
The controversy erupted after an X user, operating under the handle @MrBusby408, shared screenshots that he claims show direct messages sent from Durant’s verified account.
The alleged exchange reportedly followed the user’s public criticism of Drake and praise for Kendrick Lamar.
According to the screenshots circulating online, the conversation appeared to stem from commentary related to the ongoing rivalry between the two rap heavyweights.
The user publicly insisted the messages were “100% real,” asserting that they were sent directly from Durant’s official account rather than an anonymous profile.
In posts accompanying the images, the user acknowledged understanding how public figures can face backlash for past remarks, referencing his own experiences.
“Look, I got my past transgressions that I’ve been put on the summer jam screen for past s*** I’ve said. So in a way I KINDA empathize with Kevin Durant…” he wrote.
However, the tone shifted as he alleged repeated contact via direct messages, describing the situation in blunt terms.
“But this—BEEN a whole weirdo that is talking to himself in my DMs,” the user claimed.
Durant has not issued any official clarification regarding the screenshots. While the images appear to show messages from his verified account, their authenticity has not been independently confirmed.
The claims remain unverified pending any formal response.
Durant has previously been known to engage directly with fans on social media, a trait that has frequently sparked online debates and headlines.
