(DIGITAL&TREND)During a feature with GQ, rapper Vince Staples was asked to give his opinion on past GQ Men of the Year. One Man of the Y...
After throwing a shot at the NBA great, the rapper went on to compare Jordan to Donald Trump.
“Michael Jordan’s such a scumbag,” Vince Staples said of Jordan. “I love ‘em. Michael Jordan and Donald Trump are the same kind of person. Michael Jordan, Donald Trump, they are the epitome of bad people in America becoming successful.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Staples spoke about a GQ photo featuring Ja Rule standing next to burning cars.
"When I see an image of Ja Rule next to a burning car," Vince Staples said. "It just signifies what 50 Cent did to one of my favorite rappers and it just hurts my heart."
Staples isn't the first rapper to criticize Jordan. Back in September, Glasses Malone said he doesn't wear Jordan's sneakers anymore and alleged that Jordan invests in prisons.
"I don't wear Jordans no more 'cause he be into all of that," the rapper said. "He invests in all that. He invests into more prisons than schools. I ain't really into him right now. I won't buy another pair of his shoes for sure."
Jordan has also been criticized by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. According to Jabbar, Jordan chose sneakers over human rights.
"You can't be afraid of losing shoe sales if you're worried about your civil and human rights," Abdul-Jabbar said. "You can't be worried about that. That's just the way it is. He took commerce over conscience. That's unfortunate for him, but he's got to live with it.
