Three weeks ago, a photo of NBA free agent Bol Bol spending time with rappers Playboi Carti and Jim Jones stirred social media. Fans called it a surprising link-up between the artists and the 7-foot-3 basketball player. The former Phoenix Suns center seemed to be pouring a drink while his companions faced the camera.
On Sunday, a video of the late Manute Bol’s son quickly went viral. The younger Bol had his Afro down while listening to a Carti song before eventually throwing up.
Fans reacted to the scene:

One fan said:
@CGBBURNER Ni**as at a concert and the season start Tuesday
Another fan added:
@CGBBURNER Maybe the strobe lights made him nauseous ?
One more fan continued:
@CGBBURNER Naw that’s that fenty lean
Another fan commented:
@CGBBURNER Dude wants to be a 7ft cosplaying vampire. They tried comparing this dude to Wemby 😂😂😂
Fans reacted that Bol Bol’s “greening out” was a result of dizziness due to too much smoke. While that can’t be confirmed, what was clear on the video was the barfing. A few of the people around him seemed oblivious as they kept enjoying the concert, while Bol was bent over, retching.
With the 2025-26 NBA season set to start in a few days, Bol remains without a team. He played for the Phoenix Suns over the past two seasons, averaging 5.9 points, 3.1 rebounds and 0.6 blocks per game. An NBA offer might be a long shot for him, particularly after a video of his partying spread.
LA Lakers were linked to Bol Bol early in offseason
After the OKC Thunder won the 2025 NBA championship, free agency rumors took center stage. The LA Lakers, who wanted to shore up their frontline, were quickly linked to the former Orlando Magic backup center.
The rumors continued even after the Lakers signed Deandre Ayton, who was waived by the Portland Trail Blazers in early July. It wasn’t until GM Rob Pelinka re-signed Jaxson Hayes that those talks began to fade.
Bol Bol often stood out with his mobility, rim protection and ball handling. Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal even said that the underrated center has the same skills as NBA superstar Victor Wembanyama. According to O’Neal, the only thing that held back Bol was a lack of effort.
However, the Lakers were not swayed. Now, Bol is on the outside looking in, looking for another opportunity to play in the NBA.
