While fans had a lot to say about the song, Ball has not yet commented on the name-drop on the song.

The release of "WTF GOIN" follows 21's 2025 project, What Happened To The Streets.

One person in the vehicle suffered non-life-threatening injuries, and Ball reportedly did not suffer any injuries and played in his next game.

"Fortunately everybody is cool, so blessings," Ball said of the crash after the game, per ESPN. "God is great."

Now with the crash behind him, Ball will be suiting up in a new jersey come the 2026-2027 NBA season. Ball was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves on June 25. Ball reacted to the trade news, which also involved his Hornets teammate Josh Green, who will be joining him in Minnesota.

"I feel like it's God's plan," Ball said during his Timberwolves introductory press conference last month. "I just leave it up to Him, and I just feel extremely blessed."
