So this is where we are now. Jared McCain went from dancing on TikTok in a Sixers warmup to hopping on a Twitch stream and threatening lyrical violence if he ever sees Philadelphia again.

It Took Jared McCain 10 days. That’s the turnaround time.

“We better not run into Philly, cause if we do s**t gon get sticky.”

Jared McCain popped up on PlaqueBoyMax’s “In The Booth” segment with Jaren Jackson Jr. and Jalen Duren, grabbed the mic, and delivered what the internet is calling a diss track toward his former employer. The line everyone clipped immediately?

“We better not run into Philly, cause if we do shit gon get sticky.”

Jesus Christ…lol. Alright then.

He mixed in some OKC shoutouts, worked the “J might be getting these bucks” wordplay, and fans in the chat were losing their minds calling the thing a banger. Welcome to 2026, where the rookie extension audition now includes mic skills.

Honestly, you can’t even be mad.

This is the modern athlete experience and something Jared McCain knows all too well, being a social media superstar. The guy got traded, hopped on Twitch, pressed record, and not even two weeks later he’s dissing Philly in a new rap song being streamed live for thousands and thousands of viewers.

Therapy used to be a press conference. Now it’s a freestyle.

From a basketball standpoint, Jared McCain is settling in fine with Oklahoma City Thunder. He’s averaging 9.3 points, 3 boards, a dime, and he’s hit double figures in two straight. For a kid trying to carve minutes on the best team in the West, that’ll play.

The funniest part in all of this is the speed of the rebrand. One minute Jared McCain is a developing guard buried in a depth chart while making TikTok dance videos on a poorly run 76ers team and the next he’s a revenge-arc content machine with bars and a Twitch audience.

Incredible pivot.
