When meeting Michael Jordan goes wrong

According to Chamillionaire, he and Michael Jordan met at a party which was for the basketball legend. Being a famous rapper himself, he never used to ask anyone for signatures.

He finally found his opportunity to go and talk to the Chicago Bulls legend. He asked, “I don’t want to be rude, but Mike I just want to know if I can get a picture?”. But that’s when things went downhill. He said,?”I understand, I kind of expected him to say no. So I wasn’t mad if he said no, but the way he said it.”

“Hell no man, I ain’t taking no pictures…”, MJ shouted at him. This left the rapper stunned and he thought to himself, “I thought he didn’t hear what I said”.?Unfortunately for Chamillionaire, that wasn’t the case and it got even worse. MJ continued, “You know what, you pay $15,000 right now for a jersey from me and I’ll take a picture with you.”?

The rapper said he had never felt so heated in his life. All the fond memories he had of ‘His Airness’ just went right out of the window. When Paul Pierce tried to tell MJ who he was, Jordan cursed again and said, “I don’t give a f**k”. The rapper shook everyone’s hand and left disappointed.
