Iman Shumpert is setting the record straight on his relationship with Amber Rose, insisting they’re just friends despite their recent beach outing together. The NBA champion recently spoke with TMZ Sports, addressing swirling dating rumors after the duo was spotted enjoying some sun and fun in Miami last month. Witnesses claimed they appeared to be having a great time, which only fueled speculation.
However, Iman clarified that their beach day was purely platonic. “We went to ‘College Hill’ [Celebrity Edition] together,” he noted, dismissing the rumors that suggested any romantic involvement. When pressed about the possibility of a relationship, Shumpert firmly stated, “Nah, that’s my peoples.”
Following his split from Teyana Taylor last year, Shumpert has been enjoying bachelor life. Nevertheless, he seems to be keeping his focus on his career at the moment. His upcoming seven-part series titled “Taking One for the Team” is gearing up for release on October 16. He encouraged fans to “binge watch the whole thing.”
In addition to discussing Amber, Iman also shared some encouraging words for his fellow NBA player Dwight Howard, who is set to appear on “Dancing With The Stars.” Having won the competition himself in 2021, Shumpert clearly knows a thing or two about the dance floor.
