(AllHipHop News) Nick Young may have missed out on the NBA playoffs this year, but the Los Angeles Lakers player has plenty to say about the current Finals match-up between the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers.

The man also known as Swaggy P touched on the series during his interview with the Ballin’ Out podcast. Young was also asked about his turn as a rapper, his opinion of the Jay Z led Tidal streaming service, and his relationship with Australian rapper Iggy Azalea.

On his “rap career”:

I’ve been a rapper since I was born… before I could talk. It was just something to do in the neighborhood. I remember my brother used to hang the recorder from a shoestring hanging from the ceiling. We used to just be in there playing around, rapping. It’s nothing I took serious, but I think I could handle my own.

On Tidal:

Yeah, [I have a Tidal account,] but I got a lot of grief from it. My lady was like, “You’re just gonna sign up for Tidal for him. You didn’t want to do it for me.” I said, “Let me see what this Tidal’s all about. I’m not signing up for Tidal.” But I signed up when [Kanye West] dropped [The Life Of Pablo] album on Tidal… I don’t have Spotify… Tell Jay Z to holla at me.

On wedding plans with Iggy:

It’s coming along. It’s a little tough cause it’s a lot and it’s a lot of people that want to come. And it’s a lot of privacy you want to do with it. And she’s turned into this – what do you call it? Bridezilla or something like that?
