In a recent podcast episode clip of the Harlem duo posted on “X“, Cam?ron and Mase think the 22-year-old got waived from the Lakers because of Larsa Pippen. Cam?ron says, ?Listen, Jeanie Buss ain?t got time for this *hit?all it takes is one call.?.

He further explains, ?Michael Jordan calls Magic Johnson and then, Magic Johnson calls Jeanie Buss to shut it down?now you know, Scottie?s pissed off.?.

The Harlem duo discusses how the controversial coupling of Larsa Pippen (Scottie?s ex-wife) and Marcus Jordan (Michael Jordan?s son) affected Scottie Pippen Jr?s selection. Amid the controversy between the two Chicago Bulls legends after 2020 (when the documentary was released), the controversial pairing of Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan just added fuel to the fire.

 

Mase says on the podcast episode, ?They?re not going to create no soap opera over here? insinuating that the NBA probably believes that the controversy surrounding Jordan and Pippen (especially Larsa and Marcus) is not good for the business. But when did the controversial couple start dating?

On the podcast, the couple talks about everything from their relationship problems to their respective opinions on various matters.

Sometimes, NA fans get a peek into the billionaire lifestyle of Michael Jordan or the past relationship experiences of Larsa Pippen (about Scottie Pippen). The controversial couple seems to be happy with each other. However, the flaunting of their relationship may have resulted in the ?release? of Scottie Pippen Jr. (Larsa and Scottie Pippen?s son) from the Lakers.
