Fergie tried something different with her national anthem at the NBA All-Star Game, and not everybody was cheering. She sang a unique rendition of the National Anthem at the NBA All Star game. Draymond Green started laughing during her performance. It immediately started trending on Twitter after her performance.
The night was a spectacle, both good and bad, from start to finish.
Retired NBA icon Shaquille O’Neal kicked things off before the game, imploring fans outside the STAPLES Center to get loud with his trademarked rally cry, “Can you dig it!”
All-Star Game host Kevin Hart was joined by fellow comedian Rob Riggle in what turned out to be a musical showcase wherein Hart explored and ultimately gave up on his dreams of being an NBA All-Star. Instead, he settled on being an “all-star comedian” and an “all-star host.”
However, regardless of his “all-star comedic abilities,” the team introductions — complete with bad jokes about Goran Dragic’s “dragon breath” and Hart’s own inability to pronounce Giannis Antetokounmpo’s family name, were not well-received. Many people on Twitter were confused and unimpressed with the introduction to the Association’s mid-season spectacle.
This is some of the reaction on Twitter following the performance:
I’ve seen the national anthem performed hundreds of times but never in the key of “Happy Birthday Mr. President” congrats @Fergie ??????

Not sure what Fergie was going for on that national anthem performance but if it was “my friends drunk mom acting sexy” she nailed it.
