Earlier this week, Lakers guard Nick Young’s girlfriend Iggy Azalea tweeted that Swaggy P is afraid of dolphins because one “tried to kill him” during a trip to Cabo.

Young explained the story to ESPN, adding that not only did the dolphin try to drown him but that he tried to steal Azalea.

Young said his near-death experience occurred in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, although he didn’t specify when.

“He was playing with everybody else, doing what dolphins do — the ‘ack ack’ and all that,” Young said. “It was my time to ride the dolphin. For some reason, he took me all the way to the bottom. He was trying to drown me. But I saw it happening so I jumped out of the water and took off the little life vest and threw off my little water shoes and stayed outside.”

Young said the dolphin took others around in circles but didn’t do the same when it was his turn to interact with it.

“He went straight down,” Young said. “He was trying to kill me. I think he was trying to get on Iggy. He was a little friendly, kissing her and stuff. He was trying to take my woman.”
