All-Star Weekend has evolved into more than just a showcase of basketball’s biggest names—it’s a full-on cultural festival. This year in San Francisco, the NBA is stepping it up with a three-day concert series at Pier 48, adding even more energy to the weekend’s usual star-studded performances at Chase Center.

On February 15, fans can catch H.E.R. teaming up with Andre Iguodala to kick off All-Star Saturday Night at 5 p.m. PT. She has previous experience performing at the biggest sporting events. As Los Angeles took over hosting duties from Paris, H.E.R. delivered a powerful performance of the U.S. national anthem.

She’s no stranger to the NBA as well. Apparently she was the reason Jordan Poole dropped 30 points once. She’s also acknowledged Stephen Curry as the GOAT in one of her Instagram posts. She might have another connection with the Warriors as well.

Are H.E.R and Gary Payton II dating? A look into their collaboration for the NBA?

H.E.R. has been spending time on the basketball court with NBA players, and you already know what that means—rumors are flying. Back in April 2023, she played a game of HORSE with Gary Payton II, and the Golden State Warriors’ YouTube channel even posted the matchup. The internet wasted no time stirring up dating speculation, but there’s nothing actually confirming they’re together.

Mikal Bridges also got in on the action when he was still with the Brooklyn Nets. He and H.E.R. went head-to-head in another game of HORSE, but that one wasn’t just about shooting trick shots. They sat down and talked about their lives, and of course, fans read way too much into their chemistry.

At the end of the day, H.E.R. just loves the game. She’s got serious skills and isn’t afraid to challenge NBA players, which is honestly pretty cool.

Who is H.E.R currently dating?

H.E.R. has always been private about her personal life, but that hasn’t stopped fans from playing detective. One rumor that won’t go away? Her supposed relationship with Jamaican artist Skip Marley. It all started back in 2020 when they dropped the music video for Slow Down.

Neither of them has ever confirmed or denied the dating buzz, but they’ve had chances. Take Angie Martinez, for example. When she told Marley he and H.E.R. looked cute together, he didn’t exactly shut it down—just dodged it with a laugh and a vague, “Cute together? Ahhh…”

While he didn’t spill any tea, he did open up about their working relationship. According to him, collaborating with H.E.R. felt effortless. When someone suggested bringing in another artist for the track, he immediately thought, “H.E.R would be dope still.”

Marley had nothing but praise for her, calling her “down-to-earth,” “cool,” and “beautiful.” But beyond admiration, there’s no solid proof of anything romantic.
