AceShowbiz - Iman Shumpert and Amber Rose's recent appearance together in Miami Beach has triggered a whirlwind of rumors, leaving many wondering about the nature of their relationship. As images of the duo enjoying the sun surfaced, the internet was quick to speculate, especially given Shumpert's recent divorce from Teyana Taylor.
Shumpert, however, is firmly standing by his story that they are "just friends." He told TMZ, "We went to 'College Hill [Celebrity Edition] together. Any other time, y'all would've just let us eat, but I get it." He added emphatically, "Nah, that's my peoples."
The denials come on the heels of a messy divorce finalized this past summer. Taylor's friend, Dasia Nicole, didn't hesitate to weigh in, bringing more heat to the already steaming pot.
Responding to the beach photos, Nicole wrote a fiery comment on Instagram, "This is so funny to me because when we were on that boat on New Years Eve you & your friends villainized me for peeping the sneaky s### that was going on while Teyana & her kids was on that same boat… and I was right!" She continued, "My friend has been nothing but graceful this whole time but you played a f***ing game."
Nicole directed specific accusations towards Amber Rose as well, saying, "@amberrose I wish you would deny it for these blogs because I recorded the whole conversation! & y'all making excuses about him being single but he was good & married when this s### started. Corny asf!"
Meanwhile, Amber Rose remains in the hot seat for her controversial support of Donald Trump, adding a layer of complexity to her public image. No responses have emerged from her side regarding the allegations or the rumors that she is romantically involved with Shumpert.
Shumpert, while denying the romance, shifted focus to his new ventures. Speaking with TMZ, he expressed enthusiasm for his upcoming series "Taking One for the Team," set to air on October 16. In discussing the show, he also shared his thoughts on Dwight Howard's participation in "Dancing With The Stars," offering friendly advice on maintaining a smile during performances.
The background tension includes serious financial disputes from the divorce, with Taylor accusing Shumpert of diminishing their marital estate by over $3.7 million. Tax negligence and loan withdrawals from joint accounts have further complicated the financial fallout.
For now, Shumpert and Rose's relationship status remains an engaging mystery. Whether fans choose to believe his denials or Nicole's allegations, one thing is clear: the drama is far from over. Stay tuned for more updates as this story continues to unfold.
