Here’s the Sacramento Bee reporting on Kings center DeMarcus Cousins and an early April 1 joke:
DeMarcus Cousins created a stir on the Internet on Sunday night.
And he had fun doing so.
Pictures surfaced of Cousins’ first “album” under the name Boogie Smooth titled “Misunderstood,” with the first single being a rhythm and blues groove titled “Emotional” featuring Chance The Rapper.
Cousins even asked via Twitter on Monday if he could be any worse than Shaquille O’Neal or Chris Webber, who also dabbled in music during their careers.
But Boogie Smooth’s career is all in fun. Cousins, who is friends with rap stars Drake and Rick Ross, is not about to become a part-time R&B crooner.
Cousins laughed when asked about the musical project, as did his teammates. Coach Michael Malone even found the musical venture comical.
