Budda Baker wants the world to know that he would never allow his dad to do what Lukas Van Ness’ father did during the first night of the 2023 NFL Draft. The Arizona Cardinals star spoke up in response to the incident involving Van Ness’ father, and the defender’s girlfriend at the event.
Van Ness’ father’s actions
Van Ness’ father was caught on camera giving two butt slaps to the defender’s girlfriend after the Green Bay Packers had just called Van Ness to inform him that he was going to be drafted. This inappropriate gesture caught the attention of many, including Budda Baker.
Baker’s reaction
Baker, who had requested for a trade from the Arizona Cardinals just a few months ago, took to Twitter to express his opinion on the incident. The NFL star did not hold back, stating that if his dad ever did something similar to what Van Ness’ father did, things would not be pleasant.
Public response
With many people watching and commenting on the actions at the NFL Draft, it’s no surprise that Baker’s comments generated a response from others. It remains to be seen whether there will be any further consequences for Van Ness’ father or if this event will be forgotten as time moves on. However, it’s clear that incidents like these will not go unnoticed by players or the public.
