ESPN star Robert Flores learned that the hard way when he dissed Iggy big time on Sportscenter not too long ago. Flores referenced a statement Young made recently when he revealed a dolphin was trying to hurt him.

"So while dolphins are trying to kill you [Nick], your girlfriend is trying to kill hip-hop. Let's call it even, OK?"

Of course it wasn't long before Young caught wind of the comments. He took to his Twitter to fire his own shots.

"I'm pretty sure we going to run into each other soon. Your job is to talk about sports not what me and my chick got going on. So off the fact you that was cool to say, don't sit right with me so we got a problem."

Those tweets have since been deleted.

But Young continued with a series of tweets. He wrote that while he understands it was supposed to be a joke, he didn't think it was funny.

Well now Flores has responded to Young's tweets and attempted to laugh off what could have turned into a huge social media beef.

"I haven't replied back to Nick Young or anything like that. To his credit I think he may have deleted a portion of it, which I think is the smart thing to do," he told Sendano & Stink radio show. "Let's be real, what am I gonna do? And what's he gonna do? It's a joke. I make fun of a lot of people. We were just having fun. But I get it. He's got to cape up for his girl and that's understandable."

But when asked how he would respond of Young came for his wife, Flores made it clear that's something Young doesn't want to do.

"She'll put the paws on him. She's from down south. Those southern gals, they're not to be messed with. Take it from me."
