Recently the fans were afraid that the Lakers front office was going to trade D'Angelo Russell as he looked sad after beating the Portland Trail-Blazers, different claims had him crying and the Lakers PG posted a picture of him with the quote: "I'm f---ing gangster. What the f--k am I crying about?"

Nick Young decided to take a shot at the Lakers point guard responding to the post calling him a b-tch. The two players were friends when in 2016 an incident ruined their relationship for good.

At the time, Young was engaged to rapper Iggy Azalea, and Russell secretly recorded him admitting that he had cheated on her. While recording him saying that would have been bad enough, the video somehow ended up being leaked online as well.

Russell claimed he had no idea how it happened, but the damage was done. Azalea split with Young and Russell got the reputation of being a snitch.

The incident made the Lakers end their first stint together

Magic Johnson, who was the president of basketball operations for the Lakers at the time, would admit in 2019 that the video incident certainly played a part in them deciding to move on from Russell.
