- Social media posts – uploaded anonymously – show the pair are very close
- The Oklahoma City Thunder’s rising star declined to comment on the matter on Friday
Lil Uzi Vert concertgoers erupted in explicit chants against Josh Giddey, the rising star of the Oklahoma City Thunder, amid allegations that he had an inappropriate relationship with a minor.
Photos and videos of Giddey with a girl – including one in which she bragged about having sex with him – were posted on social media in recent days.
That prompted the NBA to launch an investigation into the 21-year-old, who was selected by the Thunder with the sixth overall pick in 2021.
On Friday, dozens of fans at a Lil Uzi Vert concert in Boston spoke up as explicit chants broke out at MGM Music Hall.
Some attendees were heard shouting: ‘F*** Josh Giddey during the American rapper’s show.

The intense public backlash follows the series of images posted online, including one photo – with the caption ‘just f***ed josh giddey’ – showing the shirtless security guard standing behind a girl.
There’s also a video of Giddey supposedly talking to the girl’s brother, saying, “I’m here with your beautiful sister.”
It remains unclear when and where the photos and videos were taken and how old the girl actually is. The age of consent in Oklahoma is 16.
When asked about the speculation during the team’s Friday training session, Giddey said: “I obviously understand the question, but there is no further comment at this time.”
When pressed for a proper answer, he added, “I understand the question guys, I completely understand that you want to know more about it, but at this point I have nothing to say.”
