The long standing feud between Kevin Durant and rapper Lil B has gone through a variety of twists and turns. Is it over? Is it still ongoing? It is quite hard to say.
Back it September, Durant said it was over:
"A curse? I keep hearing it.Every time I sign onto Twitter and Instagram, there’s Lil B stuff coming up. But, yeah, I don’t have no problem with Lil B or whatever you call him.He’s got so many fans, it’s starting to get on my nerves."
"Just to get them people away from me, me and Lil B are cool."
But then after Durant fractured his foot in October, Lil B responded like the Based God curse was never lifted.
I THOUGHT THE CURSE WAS OVER BASEDGOD! PLEASE I NEED TO TALK TO " THE BASEDGOD " I THOUGHT THE CURSE WAS OVER ! (SCREAMING) - Lil B

So where do things stand now? This question was asked to Lil B last night as he lectured at MIT.
From The Fader:
"[Audience member asks if Lil B loves Kevin Durant] Thank you so much for bringing that out there. I do. I want to say, to answer your question: yes, I do love Kevin Durant, and I appreciate him, and I appreciate the NBA.[“Would you lift the curse if Kevin Durant came to D.C.?”] If Kevin Durant came to D.C., would I lift the curse? Well, does Boston love D.C.? [Awkward applause] OK, so I didn’t just say something stupid. Everybody was looking at me like—I was thinking I said something wrong! But no, if he came to D.C…I would…uhhh…you know, me and Kevin—me and Kevin got a game to play. Once Kevin is off his injury from the Based God’s curse. I pray for the Thunder team, I pray for them.[Audience member asks about Kevin Durant again] [Laughter] Kevin Durant is lucky, man, I’m telling you—[Audience member asks who would win in 21 between Lil B, Kevin Durant, and his friend Nathaniel] Oh, man. It would be good! It would be a good game. Ay man, if he wants to play—especially because he’s here in this building, it’s rare."
Interestingly, Lil B admits that Durant got injured because of the Based God’s curse but also reveals that he has love for the Thunder’s star player.
Is the curse over? It is still hard to say as the Based God works in mysterious ways.
