His post comes after claiming the NBA removed from the All-Star Celebrity Game roster at the request of one of the event's sponsors. “I was asked by the NBA to play in the all star game this year! Only for them to call later and say they couldn’t do IT because of their sponsors, like RUFFLES,” Brown wrote on his Instagram Story at the time. “At this point I’m sick of people bothering me and I’m tired of living in the f—ing past.” He also shared a screenshot of an email appearing to invite him to the game. “I POSTED THE EMAILS SO YALL COULD SEE. The NBA still was tryna get me to come and sit court side… NOT F—ING HAPPENING,” Brown said. Ruffles denied having any say in who participated in the event.
