“‘If you don’t bring your a** out that girl house right now, I’m about to k*ll both of y’all.’ I looked out there. My wife had my g*n in that driveway pointing at me. … I got in that truck. She said, ‘I ain’t never seen your fat a** run so fast in my life.'”

Mike Apologizes For Comments Made About Ayesha Curry
Not long ago Mike made some strange comments about Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry and his wife Ayesha Curry’s marriage. The comments drew the ire of not only the former two-time NBA MVP (only unanimous in league history) and four-time NBA champion but also of his family as well.
Mike told Sharpe, the Pro Football Hall of Famer and three-time Super Bowl champion tight end, he was “stoned,” when he said Ayesha was trying to be GloRilla and not a wife.
“Steph Curry, Ayesha Curry — boy, my wife done cussed me out,” Mike admitted. “My oldest daughter called me. My youngest daughter called me. … Homeboys that have played in the NBA called me.”
Killer Mike continued: “And I realized that maybe I shouldn’t smoke and get on Instagram. So let me say this, ’cause I appreciate you checking it; it shows you have a tremendous amount of respect for me. Mrs. Ayesha Curry and her husband Steph, I apologize for my statement being misconstrued.”
“I was just stoned up, trying to make a joke,” the “Run the Jewels” rapper offered up as an excuse. “It wasn’t my damn business, like my wife said. So, I’m sorry, y’all.”
