Philadelphia 76ers rookie Joel Embiid already established a highly entertaining social media presence with his very public Twitter recruitment of LeBron James and his reaction to the former Heat star's decision to return to Cleveland and ignore Philadelphia altogether.

Both times, the former Kansas Jayhawk has vowed to take a lengthy Twitter break ("See y'all in a couple weeks"). But not five days later and Embiid's at it again, tweeting at boldface names and calling out favors, like this one from popular rapper ScHoolboy Q:

@JoelEmbiid u was Mad at draft day so I betta stay on yo good side.. Ha!!
— ScHoolboy Q (@ScHoolBoyQ) July 16, 2014

The response from ScHoolboy appeared to net Embiid some confidence as he then moved his Twitter handle aim squarely at fellow rapper Kanye West. Or rather, his famous wife:

Hey I want you to come slide in my DMs @KimKardashian
— Joel-Hans Embiid (@JoelEmbiid) July 16, 2014

Embiid quickly backtracked in his proposition, claiming not to know of the KimYe duo.

Oh I didn't know you were married sorry @KimKardashian just saw it from the fan's tweet... have a nice day

Obviously, the reach out to Kim Kardashian was pure gold, but the rookie may need to check himself around Yeezus, especially since he and Kanye have an adidas connection. But for now, this latest entertaining chapter in Embiid's Twitter adventures has safely signed off into the social media abyss:

Can't wait to see even more Embiid-inspired entertainment soon.
