Nick Young Roasts Jim Jones & Juelz Santana for Gervonta Davis’s Tough Night in the Ring

HonkMagazine

Nick Young is known for his bold opinions, and this time, he turned his attention to hip-hop legends Jim Jones and Juelz Santana after Gervonta “Tank” Davis had an unexpected draw in his boxing match against Lamont Roach Jr. Instead of blaming Davis’ opponent, Young humorously pointed to the entertainers who walked him to the ring. In a social media post, Young expressed concern when he saw Juelz and Jim leading Davis into the arena.

He joked, “I was worried for Gervonta from the start. As soon as I saw Juelz messing up, and then Jim Jones appearing from nowhere, I thought, ‘Oh no. This guy is going to lose.'” Young felt that the energy from the duo wasn’t the right kind for a fighter gearing up for a big match. He poked fun at them, calling them “old-school Dipset” and saying their music wasn’t hitting the mark. He even jokingly suggested they needed to fix their dentures during their performance. Although Jim Jones and Juelz Santana have made significant contributions to hip-hop, Young wasn’t impressed with the vibe they brought to the Barclays Center that night.

Rather than energizing the crowd and giving Davis the boost he needed, he felt their presence set the wrong mood for the evening. When Davis didn’t achieve a knockout, Young playfully remarked, “I knew as soon as those two were there, it was going to be a tough night.” While Young’s comments were all in good fun, it’s clear that Dipset’s influence in hip-hop is still strong. As for Davis, the role of his walkout crew in his performance is debatable, but if you ask Young, he thinks he knows exactly what went wrong.
