Ninja of Die Antwoord recently sat down with VICELAND for a candid interview about the time he got invited by Kanye to play basketball at Drake‘s. As the South African rapper tells it, he went to Kanye’s house first and had a strange conversation with the TLOP artist. When ‘Ye saw that he was wearing basketball shoes, Yeezy thought it would be a good idea to go next door to shoot hoops at Drake’s house.

Ninja describes how bad his skills are and that Drake actually has a great jump shot.

Watch the video above to see how the game ends and why Ninja ended up blocking Kanye’s phone number.
