Podcast P with Paul George
Believe it or not, Paul George turned down Nicki Minaj … when the Queen of Rap wanted the NBA star to make a cameo in her music video!
The Los Angeles Clippers star made the surprising revelation on his Podcast P show this week, telling co-host Jackie Long he had the opportunity to make his cameo with the “Super Freaky Girl” rapper.
“You know what’s funny, this was maybe like a year or two ago, Nicki Minaj reached out for me to be in her music video,” George said.
The 9x All-Star was unsure if he would’ve had the role of being Nicki’s lover … but joked his wife Daniela wasn’t havin’ it.
“I looked at Daniela, Daniela looked at me … ‘ay, I ain’t going to be able to do it’,” PG13 said.
“I’m playing! She was excited about the opportunity too, but I declined.”
George — who married Daniela in 2022 — says his wife would’ve been right there on set if it happened … but his schedule had them both miss out.
“It was just a scheduling conflict that I couldn’t [get out of],” George said.
“It would’ve been dope. It’s Nicki Minaj, one of the biggest female artists — not even just female, biggest artists of our lifetime!”
If PG’s hoping for another shot, it doesn’t sound like it’s going to happen anytime soon … Nicki’s currently on her Pink Friday 2 World Tour while George, who is averaging 22 points a game, is smack in the heart of the NBA season … with the playoffs approaching.

Had he accepted, George would’ve joined other NBA stars who appeared in music videos, including Michael Jordan, who was in Michael Jackson‘s “Jam” video, and Kobe Bryant, who made his cameo in “Bug-A-Boo” by Destiny’s Child.
Next time, PG!
