Whether you love him or hate him, you cannot ignore Roman Reigns. The Tribal Chief has been dominating WWE for more than 1200 days now. First, he started all by himself and now, he is accompanied by his stable, The Bloodline. With such a lustrous career spanning almost 4 years, it is safe to say that he has earned his right to be acknowledged by fans. However, being acknowledged by the Tribal Chief himself is something only a few can experience. Famous rapper, Ice Cube’s son, O’Shea Jackson Jr recently flaunted his connection with Reigns after a fan called him out.

I’m not ya average Twitter user homeboy.”

After reading his reviews, Khan mentioned that Jackson Jr does “know ball”.  That left many fans and Jackson Jr confused. However, everyone had unanimously assumed that it was a compliment on Khan’s behalf.
