By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: NewsMay 22, 2015

(AllHipHop News) Will the curse of Lil B hit Houston Rockets All-Star James Harden? The California rapper says that could be the case. B told TMZ that Harden could be joining Kevin Durant on the list of NBA players jinxed to never win a title, and it is all over a celebration dance.

“If Harden doesn’t tell what he is doing, which is the Lil B cooking dance, he will be cursed,” said Lil B. “He needs to stop stealing Lil B swag without showing love.”

The I‘m Gay (I’m Happy) album creator is giving Harden until game three of the Western Conference finals to publicly acknowledge his “cooking” dance before the curse is put into effect. Harden has yet to respond.

B may be upset, but Harden’s on court action is most likely inspired by Chedda Da Connect’s “Flicka Da Wrist.” The Houston native’s single has sparked numerous celebrities – including Rihanna and Justin Bieber – to imitate the hand motion in viral videos.

Go warriors @warriors and let James harden no he doing the Lil B cooking dance if he doing that flickin wrist or whipping he mark – Lil B
