No, Hassan Whiteside did NOT threaten to leave America and move to Hawaii in the wake of that insane debate Tuesday night … insisting he was framed on social media.

After the Trump vs. Biden debate, someone posted a tweet that appeared to be from the 31-year-old NBA star’s official account, saying “i can’t do this for four more years f*** america bro im moving to Hawaii”

The quote went viral (because it’s hilarious) — and was even picked up by some pretty big websites.

But, Hassan — the REAL Hassan — went to Instagram on Wednesday to call BS on the whole thing.

“If you want some clout, ya ain’t gotta make fake tweets about me! You ain’t gotta make fake tweets,” Hassan said.

So, fake news … but glad he cleared it all up.
