Iman Shumpert waited until after he played his January 21st Sacramento Kings NBA game against the Brooklyn Nets in New York to respond to the crazy rumor that he fathered a baby with porn star Alby Rydes as the result of a threesome with his wife Teyana Taylor.
Teyana and Alby have already both labeled the story as nothing but a bogus rumor, and now Iman is doing his part to help put an end to the wild allegations.

“I tried to block this out to just play my game. Now that the game is over and due to me and my family publicizing our lives, I feel obligated to touch on this stupid ass story,” he wrote on his Instagram Stories Monday night (Jan. 21). “My legal team is about to go at all blogs involved in curating this fake news and trust me them blogs don’t have my kind of bread.”
He added: “Secondly, Alby is my friend and I’m not going to apologize for putting heart eyes under her picture as seeing my wife go thru a pregnancy and blossom in motherhood I can’t help but to admire and enjoy every part of that process through IG to any woman I scroll past in that energy.”
Shumpert continued: “People that follow me strictly for Teyana updates came to my page to troll cuz she deleted her page. The fact that y’all think negative things in her energy reflect on me when I’m the one always supporting her leads me to ask y’all to unfollow me. If you don’t see who I am by now I don’t need you having a piece of my mind or family.”
Teyana slammed the wild rumor as untrue earlier in the day and explained that it had nothing to do with her recently deleting her Instagram account.

She wrote on Twitter: “1. I’ve never seen/touched that girl in my life. 2. My page is gone because I’m upset at @defjam for not dropping my damn ‘WTP’ video on time, per usual. 3. It’s really sad that lies are entertained so much than the truth. 4. Iman is not dumb he know I’d kill him.”

Alby herself even called the story that her baby was the result of a threesome “FAKE NEWS” and said that Iman Shumpert was NOT the father of her child.
“IT AIN’T HIS BABY,” she said. “Y’all should be ashamed for creating this negative energy and throwing it around like it won’t affect anyone. I had my baby with the man I was dating and that man ain’t Iman. So please stop making fake stories just to get some likes and for everyone else believing these blogs is a no better person.”
So now that all three parties involved have publicly denied the rumors, we can all agree that it’s time to put this tired story to rest.
