Iman Shumpert of the Sacramento Kings has slammed the rumors surrounding he and his wife, singer Teyana Taylor.
Via Twitter, Shumpert posted a series of photos ripping a news article which claimed that he, Taylor, and adult film star Alby Rydes had a threesome which resulted in the latter's pregnancy. In his message below, Shumpert indicates his intention to pursue legal action. He also asked those who followed him solely to troll or receive an update about the said rumor to hit the unfollow button.

Taylor, who has since deleted her Instagram account due to the trolls, addressed the rumors via Twitter. In her message below, she claimed that she has never seen Rydes. She also noted that her husband wouldn't do such a thing.
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 😃 End of story. https://t.co/FCdG0c1VIr

Rydes, for her part, posted an Instagram story to address the rumors. Just like Shumpert and Taylor, Rydes shut down the rumors. According to her, she got pregnant with the baby from the man she was dating, and that man is not Shumpert. Finally, she asked everyone to stop spreading fake news and to leave her alone.
Shumpert is in his eighth year in the NBA, averaging 9.1 points in 25.6 minutes per game with the Kings this year. The 28-year-old has improved his three-point shooting to 37.9 percent this year.
