Believe it or not, Paul George turned down Nicki Minaj when the Queen of Rap wanted the NBA star to make a cameo in her music video!
Key Takeaway
Paul George revealed that he turned down the opportunity to appear in Nicki Minaj’s music video due to a scheduling conflict, despite the excitement surrounding the offer.
The Surprising Revelation
The Los Angeles Clippers star, Paul George, made the surprising revelation on his “Podcast P” show this week, telling co-host Jackie Long about the opportunity he had to make a cameo with the “Super Freaky Girl” rapper.
Declining the Offer
George shared that Nicki Minaj reached out to him for the music video cameo about a year or two ago. He joked about the uncertainty of the role he would have played and how his wife, Daniela, wasn’t too keen on the idea. Despite his wife’s excitement about the opportunity, George declined the offer.
Missed Opportunity
George, who married Daniela in 2022, mentioned that his wife would have been supportive and present on set if the cameo had worked out. However, a scheduling conflict prevented him from taking up the offer.
Future Prospects
Although George expressed his enthusiasm for the opportunity, it seems unlikely that he will have another shot at it anytime soon. Nicki Minaj is currently on her “Pink Friday 2” world tour, while George is fully focused on the NBA season, with the playoffs approaching.
Other NBA Stars in Music Videos
Had he accepted, George would have joined other NBA stars who have appeared in music videos, such as Michael Jordan, who featured in Michael Jackson’s “Jam” video, and Kobe Bryant, who made a cameo in “Bug-A-Boo” by Destiny’s Child.
It looks like it’s a missed opportunity for Paul George this time, but who knows what the future holds!
