NBA star Iman Shumpert and G.O.O.D. Music artist Teyana Taylor have been going strong for quite some time now and if you’ve been watching their VH1 reality show Teyana & Iman you’d know they’re truly down for one another.
Yesterday (June 6) Iman took the time to stop by The Breakfast Club where he was surprised by his wife’s sudden guest appearance but still proceeded to open up about the craziness that is their life.
With an audience made up of Charlamagne, Angela Yee, DJ Envy and Teyana Taylor, Iman Shumpert addressed his history with Drake’s alleged baby mother, his thoughts on JR Smith’s NBA Finals blunder, and the craziness that can be found in his DM’s.
Here are the 10 things we learned from Iman Shumpert on The Breakfast Club.
1. Drake’s Baby Mama
Iman won’t say whether or not he smashed Drake’s baby mama back in the day but says they did have some interactions with one another before she went back to France.
2. Super Woman
Iman says that Teyana Taylor should’ve saved him back in 2011 when he was first hollering at her, but does admit he was wilder back then and it would’ve been a problem for her to lock him down. He also says Tristan Thompson could’ve been a victim of video editing in that infamous nightclub footage which showed him cuddling with two women.
3. JR Smith
Speaking about that infamous play at the end of regulation in game 1 of the NBA Finals, feels that JR Smith was trying to do the right thing. Shump says that when JR grabbed that rebound and dribbled time out instead of trying to score the ball without giving it a second thought, JR tripped himself up when he “got that ball and started thinking. How many times have you seen JR with a thinking face in the middle of a game? He was unaggressive and he was thinking.”
4. Trade
Iman knew he was going to be traded because he wasn’t healthy enough to help contribute to the Cavaliers playoff run. His only problem was that he didn’t get an eye-to-eye with the owner before the trigger was pulled.
5. Defensive Player
Iman admits that when he first appeared on The Breakfast Club back in 2011 he was “with it” and on his “tough sh*t” because he didn’t know what to expect from the morning trio. Like “ready to ruin my career before even playing” type sh*t.
6. Reality TV
Iman says he wasn’t too thrilled doing the Teyana & Iman reality TV show for VH1, but eventually warmed up to it and get used to it. He also says that he was scared of that reality show curse in which couples end up getting divorced and that the rumors about Teyana finding a “secret phone” was false.
7. Haters
While women have been trying to put things in Teyana Taylor’s head about Iman cheating, Iman says some people used to DM him that Teyana was out playing him while she’d be sitting next to him. He expects people to hate on them the more successful they get. Truth.

8. Cheerio?
Talking about that time Melo and Kevin Garnett got into it over KG’s “Honey Nut Cherrios” comment about La La Anthony, Iman clears that up saying, “He didn’t say that. He said something far worse.” But regardless of what y’all may thing, “It had nothing to do with Melo’s wife though. That’s what’s crazy.”
9. In The DM’s
Iman says that he doesn’t check his wife’s DM’s but she admits that she does be all up in his and even responds to some women. Iman also revealed that women send he and his wife weird pictures and “ask for ten bands.” What part of the game is this?!
10. 6ix9ine vs. Chicago
If he could give Tekashi 6ix9ine (who’s been beefing with Chicago rappers) any advice it would be “stop now… Leave Chicago out of it, Joe. Now he doing too much.” He feels that if he keeps pushing this drama it’ll only be a matter of time before a street soldier takes it upon himself to handle the situation without thinking twice about doing the bid.
