Snoop Dogg and Luka Doncic Recall Confusion Around Lakers Star's "Who's Crying Motherf**ker" Taunt in 2024 Playoffs 

During the 2024 Western Conference Finals, a moment left social media on fire with fans believing that Luka Doncic had directed an NSFW remark toward Snoop Dogg. The misunderstanding has now been cleared up as the two recently sat down together for an interview.

In Game 5 of the Dallas Mavericks–Minnesota Timberwolves matchup, Doncic converted an and-1 play and turned to the crowd at the Target Center, mocking some hecklers in the stands. Looking their way, he shouted:

"Yeah, who's crying now motherf**ker?"

Many fans assumed he was directing the remark at Snoop Dogg, who happened to be seated nearby. However, in a recent interview, the two cleared the air. Snoop explained:

“When you was in game five, playing with the Mavericks against Minnesota, I was sitting next to somebody that just wouldn't shut the... He wouldn't shut up. He kept talking to you all game.”

“I'm like, ‘would you shut up?’ And y'all was losing. But when y'all got the lead, you looked him right in his face and was like, you said something to him and they thought you was talking about me. I said, ‘no, no, no. I'm not a Minnesota fan. I'm just sitting in the crowd. Luka's talking to him’. Now we've cleared that up. We had to clear that up.”

“Yeah, I wasn’t talking to you,” Doncic admitted.

At the time, media outlets confirmed that Luka Doncic’s comment was aimed at a fan behind Snoop in the bleachers who had been mimicking crying gestures all game.

Ultimately, Doncic finished that night with 36 points and 10 rebounds, leading the Mavericks to a 124-103 blowout win. The win also resulted in the Mavs clinching the series and advancing to the 2024 NBA Finals.

Luka Doncic dominated the Minnesota Timberwolves in their only meeting this season

The LA Lakers hosted the Minnesota Timberwolves in their second game of the 2025-2026 season. After a tough loss to the Golden State Warriors on opening night, JJ Redick’s squad came out focused and hungry to bounce back.

Luka Doncic set the tone from the start, seemingly going all-in to help secure the team’s first victory of the campaign. He eventually finished the night with 49 points, along with 11 rebounds and eight assists, being the biggest contributor in the Lakers’ 128-110 win.
