Matt Barnes said 2015 was the worst year of his life, and that's saying a lot if you know anything about what the Grizzlies small forward has been through on his road to fame and fortune.
On the last day of the year, Barnes decided to get his Tupac on and ride on several people who've complicated matters for him in the last 364 days in an epic, "Hit Em Up" style Instagram rant. Barnes doesn't name names, but it's easy to figure out he's likely referencing Knicks coach Derek Fisher, estranged wife Gloria Govan and pop star Rihanna.
*Lost the women I loved,the mother of my kids, my Dogg.. I had to walk away from the only thing I've wanted, MY OWN FAMILY! "They call that karma"
Clearly, this appears to be a reference to at least his relationship with his estranged wife, reality TV star Gloria Govan. Barnes was recently suspended for two games for his role in an altercation with Fisher, who had been romantically linked to Govan.
*To being traded away from a team & city I love! "They call that the business"
In June, the native Californian was traded from the Clippers to the Hornets. Ten days later, he was shipped to the Grizzlies in a separate deal.
*Lied on by a pop star Who's lucky I stuck to the script & didn't expose her lien ass Funny thing about texts & pics is they DONT LIE! "I Guess" "They call that getting played"
Barnes told a TMZ reporter there might be a thing between him and Rihanna. As soon as she got wind of that, she played dude to the left and said she didn't even know Barnes.
*Last BUT NOT LEAST... Being stuck in the "triangle offense" w my ex & snitch, I mean former teammate & friend.. Who went behind my back, messed w my ex, got caught, got dealt w for being a snake, then ran & told the Police & NBA.. Instead of taken that ass whoopin like a man & kept it moving....!
Obviously, he's taking shots at Fisher, a former Laker under Phil Jackson, here.
