"I don't even pertain to Charles because he's so jealous of me. He want to be me so bad," Ball said before ripping into Barkley's childhood dynamic. 

"He never had a father," Ball said. "He wish I was his father. That's why he's so animate towards me. But I don't even get into that because the only way he can get his 200 likes he got to say something bad about me.... But I know he jealous. He want everything I got. People don't come up to him. Kids don't believe in him. Nothing."

Ball's comments are in response to Barkley claiming his over-the-top antics are hindering Lonzo Ball's career. After Ball's controversial remarks to Molly Qerim, Barkley called LaVar a "village idiot" that is being "unfair" to his son. This is only the most recent exchange between the two. On several occasions, Barkley has questioned Ball's behavior and even praised Lonzo for leaving the family-ran Big Baller Brand.
