NBA Star Kevin Durant’s Concert Night Sparks Twitter Firestorm
NBA superstar Kevin Durant found himself in the social media spotlight after being caught on video enjoying a smoke during a Drake concert. Known for his off-the-court habits and penchant for trolling on Twitter, Durant became the subject of humorous jabs and puns from fans on NBA Twitter.
Fans seized the opportunity to make light of Durant’s well-known Twitter activities, suggesting that he was relaxing after a day of tweeting on his burner accounts. Standing out in the crowd due to his towering stature, Durant couldn’t escape the smoke or the playful banter directed at him.
Despite the lighthearted reactions, Durant has been actively involved in the cannabis industry beyond personal enjoyment. He played a significant role in advocating for the removal of marijuana from the NBA’s banned substance list, and he has invested in various cannabis ventures and farms alongside business partner Rich Kleiman.
Durant’s ventures extend to the tech side of the cannabis industry, with investments in Weedmaps, a platform advocating for marijuana legalization and destigmatizing its use among athletes. Through his multimedia company, Boardroom, Durant continues to promote the normalization of marijuana, particularly for athletes dealing with sports-related issues.
While the Twitterverse had its fun with Durant’s concert escapade, it highlighted the NBA star’s multifaceted involvement in the cannabis space and his ongoing efforts to shape a more accepting narrative around marijuana use.
