DeMarcus Cousins is never afraid to speak his truth—and this time, it sparked a viral back-and-forth with none other than Kevin Durant.
The former Kentucky Wildcat and NBA All-Star dropped a bombshell recently when he claimed there were actual fistfights in the Phoenix Suns locker room during their 36–46 meltdown of a season. With stars like Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal on the roster, and still missing the playoffs, Cousins’ story instantly caught fire.
But KD? He wasn’t about to let that slide.
Durant Denies It All
Durant quickly responded on X (formerly Twitter), firing back at the rumor with clear frustration:
> “I have to contest this 94 footer. This some [expletive] to throw on us. Yea yea yea we were trash this year ha ha ha but we NEVER got close to this. NEVER.”
The denial was swift—and loud. But Cousins wasn’t backing down.
Cousins Claps Back: “Don’t Play Me for a Liar”
Not one to stay silent when called out, Cousins replied:
> “The source was one of your teammates killa. And I wasn’t referring to you! Save this [expletive] for the others homie…”
Durant then tried to cool the situation down:
> “Whoa whoa Boog, I don’t want no problems with you or anybody on earth. I promise, all I’m saying is your source is lying.”
But Cousins wasn’t having that either—and made his stance clear without escalating further:
> “No issue at all killa. Don’t play me for a liar though. The segment I was speaking on was actually defending you as a player… I’m actually tapped in with players unlike the media guys you don’t rock with. Never on some messy stuff.”
He emphasized that he avoided naming names or spilling extra details on purpose—because he doesn’t need drama to speak the truth.
Real Story or Bad Info?
Was Boogie simply defending KD while exposing a bigger issue in Phoenix? Or did someone feed him bad intel?
One thing is clear: Cousins believes what he heard. He says the info came directly from inside the Suns’ locker room—one of Durant’s own teammates, in fact.
KD, on the other hand, has always pushed back hard against any narrative involving team dysfunction—especially after the noise that followed him in Brooklyn and Golden State.
What This Says About Boogie
Whether or not his source was accurate, this entire exchange proves something powerful: DeMarcus Cousins is still plugged in. He’s not just a former player shouting from the sidelines—he’s respected, connected, and not afraid to speak up, even if it gets uncomfortable.
