Iman Shumpert GOES OFF on Teyana Taylor for Dating Aaron Pierre || He wants CUSTODY | HO 

Not Iman Shumpert getting pressed and throwing shade at Teyana and Aaron Pierre, the King Mufasa after they popped out together.

People were initially unsure if the rumors about Mufasa blowing Teyana’s back out was true but babyyyyy, it’s confirmed now and Iman is not having any of it.

He has been crashing out even harder than he did when the judge told him to pay Teyana after their divorce.

The drama surrounding Teyana Taylor, Iman Shumpert, and Aaron Pierre has reached fever pitch, captivating fans and sparking heated debates across social media. What started as whispers of a budding romance between Taylor and Pierre has now erupted into a full-blown spectacle, with Shumpert throwing shade, dropping diss tracks, and allegedly threatening to confront Pierre in a jealous rage.

As Taylor and Pierre seemingly flaunt their relationship, Shumpert’s behavior has spiraled, leading some to speculate that he’s not just after revenge—he might even be gearing up for a custody battle over their two daughters. Here’s everything we know about this messy love triangle, Shumpert’s meltdown, and the question on everyone’s mind: Is Taylor’s romance with Pierre the real deal, or just a calculated move to get under Shumpert’s skin?

The Spark That Lit the Fire

Rumors about Taylor and Pierre first surfaced not long ago, when the pair was spotted together at the American Black Film Festival. Pierre, who recently won the Rising Star Award, and Taylor were seen hugging and chatting throughout the event, their body language practically screaming chemistry.

Videos from the night show Taylor embracing Pierre with a familiarity that had fans raising eyebrows. “She looked like she wanted to kiss him right there,” one observer noted, while Pierre’s wide, blushing smile only fueled the speculation. Just a week earlier, the two had been caught getting cozy at the 15% Pledge Gala, where a viral clip of them speaking to director Lee Daniels showed Pierre gazing at Taylor with unmistakable adoration. “He was staring into her soul the entire time,” one fan tweeted, and the internet exploded with theories.

The romance rumors hit overdrive when Taylor and Pierre appeared to make things Instagram official. After attending the Oscars together, they posted black-and-white photos that radiated “power couple” energy.

Taylor captioned hers, “Oscar night in black and white, no gray area,” a not-so-subtle hint that left little room for doubt. Fans celebrated the union, praising Taylor for leveling up after her tumultuous marriage to Shumpert. But while the public cheered, one person was far from happy: her ex-husband, Iman Shumpert.

Shumpert’s Meltdown: Diss Tracks and Threats

Shumpert, a former NBA star and Taylor’s serial-cheating ex, has not taken the news of her new relationship well. Sources say he’s “pressed” and “crashing out harder” than he did when a judge ordered him to pay Taylor a hefty settlement after their divorce. His reaction? A diss track aimed squarely at Taylor and Pierre.

In the song, Shumpert airs his grievances, accusing Taylor of lying and guilt-tripping him during their marriage while taking shots at Pierre for stepping into his territory. “He’s still holding grudges,” one insider commented, pointing to lyrics that paint Taylor as the villain who left him high and dry.

The public wasn’t here for it. Fans quickly dragged Shumpert online, calling him out for fumbling Taylor in the first place. “Imagine hurting a woman who supported you at your lowest, loved you unconditionally, and stayed loyal, only to watch her move on with a hotter guy,” one tweet read.

Another quipped, “If I fumbled a supermodel just to play mediocre basketball, I’d be crying to Fleetwood Mac too.” The backlash only seemed to stoke Shumpert’s fire. He doubled down, allegedly threatening to “pull up” on Pierre—a move that’s been labeled everything from “ghetto” to downright desperate.

Shumpert tried to play it cool, posting a laughing emoji on Twitter (now X) to brush off the criticism, but his actions tell a different story. “No man who’s truly unbothered is out here dropping diss tracks and starting petty drama,” one commenter pointed out.

And as Taylor and Pierre continue to rub their happiness in his face, Shumpert’s saltiness has become impossible to ignore. Some even speculate that his antics could be building toward a bigger fight—like a bid for custody of the couple’s daughters, Juno and Rue.

A Marriage Marred by Infidelity and Insecurity

To understand Shumpert’s meltdown, you have to look back at his marriage to Taylor. The two split in 2023 after years of turmoil, with Taylor publicly downplaying infidelity as the reason for their divorce. “To be 1000% clear, infidelity ain’t one of the reasons for our departure,” she wrote in a post, calling Shumpert her “bestie” and insisting they’d been separated for a while. But her divorce filing told a darker tale.

Taylor accused Shumpert of rampant cheating—so much so that she’d even tolerated him bringing other women into their bedroom to keep him from stepping out. “She thought she was the problem, but it was always him,” a source close to Taylor revealed.

The filing also painted Shumpert as a jealous, narcissistic husband who couldn’t handle Taylor’s fame. Despite earning millions as a basketball player, he reportedly grew insecure about her success in music and acting, often asking photographers to crop him out of pictures at events.

Taylor said she dimmed her own light to keep the peace, turning down career opportunities because Shumpert didn’t want her to work. Even after she gave birth to one of their kids, he allegedly complained about her not making money—then turned around and drained $4 million from their joint accounts, leaving her with a $200,000 unfinished home renovation he’d started without her consent.

The judge sided with Taylor, ordering Shumpert to pay a seven-figure lump sum, plus $8,000 a month in child support and private school fees for their daughters. Taylor kept four properties worth $10 million, while Shumpert walked away with a Miami condo and some land in South Georgia. The ruling left him “tight,” but seeing Taylor move on with Pierre—a rising Hollywood star—seems to have pushed him over the edge.

Taylor’s Upgrade and Shumpert’s Karma

Fans see Pierre as a clear upgrade from Shumpert’s “mess.” The British actor, known for roles in The Underground Railroad and Mufasa: The Lion King, brings a fresh energy to Taylor’s life. “Aaron is one of the hottest actors out there right now,” a supporter gushed. “Teyana deserves this after everything Iman put her through.” Others draw parallels to another famous breakup: “Iman did to Teyana what Future did to Ciara. Now she’s pulling a Ciara and upgrading. Love that for her.”

But not everyone’s convinced the relationship is legit. Some speculate it’s a PR stunt to boost Pierre’s profile ahead of Mufasa or to make Shumpert jealous. “How long have they really been at this?” one skeptic asked. “It feels too convenient.” Whether it’s real or staged, it’s working—Shumpert’s reaction is pure karma for a man who, by all accounts, ruined a good thing.

Custody on the Horizon?

As Shumpert’s outbursts escalate, rumors swirl that he might take the fight to court, seeking custody of Juno and Rue to regain some control. “He’s salty and has no one to blame but himself,” a source said. “If he pushes for custody, it’ll be his last-ditch effort to hurt her.” Taylor, meanwhile, seems unbothered, living her best life with Pierre by her side. The question now is: How far will Shumpert go, and can he handle watching Taylor thrive without him?
