The name “Swaggy G” was born on ESPN’s “NBA Tonight” broadcast when George Karl – as a part of an April Fool’s Day joke - listed his top three favorite rappers of all time.
Kings All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins sparked the initial conversation when Boogie pulled an April Fool’s Day prank of his own and dropped a fake album titled “Misunderstood” under the pseudonym “Boogie Smooth.”
Cassidy Hubbarth then collaborated with “Swaggy G” to release a fake album of their own, affectionately titled “Ballin’ and Shot-Callin’.”
The now famous screenshot went viral and was shared across Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
