rewrite this title “Ant got 4 kids don’t he?”, “Ant definitely frying them next” – NBA Fans Go Wild As Kevin Durant & Drake’s Nike Ad Fires Wild Stray at Anthony Edwards

Kevin Durant and Nike released a new commercial for the Nike KD 19 on Tuesday. The shoe brand released “Orange Crush” and “Purple Stuff” colorways and will collaborate with rapper Drake’s NOCTA line this summer. The Canadian rapper was also featured in Durant’s new Nike ad, and he took a shot at Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards.

The video showed the famed rapper bringing energy to Durant’s new sneakers. Drake hyped the newly released purple colorways and had a one-liner about Edwards.

“Hey Ant Man, can you drop your purple shoes? Said four kids in Minnesota. Like, no one wants to see those; they want the KDs,” he said.

NBA fans went wild online after seeing the new ad from Durant, Drake and Nike. Here are some of what the fans said.

“Ts was fire ant definitely frying them next 😭” a fan said.

“Ant got 4 kids don’t he ? Lmaoo,” another fan commented.

“The funniest part of this ad is that Nike is using Kevin Durant’s legacy to sell shoes to a generation that grew up watching Anthony Edwards,” one fan said.

More fans loved Drake’s acting.

“This guy is f****n hilarious. Get back to acting 🤣🤣” someone commented.

“Drake in the crate as KD’s yes man is comedy gold😂😂. Minnesota kids choosing KD over the purple Ants is wild shade tho,” a comment read.

“Drake never misses when he do them skits man 😹😹” one fan commented.

Kevin Durant’s Sneaker War With Adidas

Kevin Durant has always been a Nike guy. Since becoming an NBA star, he has worn Nikes until he had his own signature shoes. When it comes to Adidas, however, Durant doesn’t shy away from trashing the competition.

It started in December 2023, when Durant said this on social media, “Won’t EVER see me put a big toe in them Mfers.” Adidas did not let that slide and responded with “u dusty about to retire soon anyway.” The comment from the shoe brand was immediately deleted, and they said, “meant to send that from the burner account…”

It was meant to be a shot at Durant having multiple burner accounts online. The marketing team for Adidas and Anthony Edwards has put out incredible ways to advertise the NBA star’s shoes and doesn’t back down to anyone.

In February, Kevin Durant made fun of Adidas again.

“Who the f**k wears adidas?” Durant asked a fan.

However, it backfired on Durant when Adidas footwear designer Lalal Enayah posted screenshots. The Houston Rockets star complimented James Harden’s eighth signature Adidas basketball shoe on Instagram.

“Since @easymoneysniper wants to talk s**t about adidas lol We both you’re a fan low key!” Enayah posted.

Looks like the sneaker war between Durant and Adidas isn’t over.
