It was an Instagram takeover for Red Bull Music after Teyana Taylor held the reigns on their account for a bit. Following the online screening of Red Bull’s Assembly Required: Teyana Taylor’s House of Petunia documentary, Teyana engaged in a Q&A with fans over on Red Bull Music’s IG page. There, the multihyphenated entertainer touched on a variety of topics, from her marriage to her music career to her childhood crush on Shia LaBeouf.

For those who have been impatiently waiting on Teyana Taylor to release her new album, there’s good news. “We’ve been working on the album. The album is done – that’s why I look crazy right now,” she said. “Before I got on with y’all, we literally just did the listening of the album. Y’all gonna be so happy.” Teyana also gave a hint as to what listeners can expect from the forthcoming project. “This album is definitely more of a vibe. I don’t really do fast songs like that. There are some head-boppers. It’s not super-fast—you can dance and you can cry and you can ride—what’s the age group tuning in here?”

She also shared that there isn’t much excitement happening at home under quarantine with husband Iman Shumpert as both of them are spending time in their recording studios. When asked what she’s been up to, Teyana said, “Surviving, that’s the only answer. I’m alive, locking in to get the album done, designing the merch. Sleeping and eating.”

“Iman in studio B, I’m in studio A,” she added. “We both have our little caves. He got his man cave, I got my Auntie cave. We both locking in on albums. I ain’t gonna front though before we finished the studio, I was like, ‘Child, what’s going on?’ He was like, ‘I know you don’t feel good, but you look good.’ Before the studio was built, I wanted all the attention.” Are you looking forward to new music from Teyana Taylor?

Iman Shumpert got to play with LeBron James during his second stint in Cleveland. The two even won a championship together in 2016. With this in mind, it shouldn't be surprising that Shumpert has a lot to say about the NBA legend. The other day, Shumpert spoke about what makes LeBron so great and how his basketball IQ is better than everyone else's. In a recent interview, Shumpert spoke about how LeBron is one of the most hated players in the league and that it really all comes down to just one thing.

Speaking to This is 50, Shumpert admitted that LeBron gets so much hate because he is so good. Not to mention, he hasn't had any real scandals and people want to see him fail. He's simply too perfect which makes him look like less of a real person. Shumpert noted that LeBron has been with the same woman since high school and that he is a model citizen who does so much for his community.

There are plenty of reasons why Teyana Taylor loves her husband Iman Shumpert, but his high-top fade grabbed her attention when they first met. The NBA free agent talked about a myriad of topics during his lengthy interview with Vlad TV, and in a recent clip, he spoke about the development of his rap career. He also touched on his signature high-top hairstyle and shared intimate details of how he and his now-wife traded secrets early on in their relationship.

“I was way more aggressive,” Iman admitted. “I was young. I moved a certain way and it wasn’t for her yet. We wasn’t in alignment.” He also said explained why he decided to tell her all of the people he’s slept with in the industry. “She works in a field of… She’s gon’ have to run into these people,” he said. “It wasn’t like, I gave a list of a girl in 3B type of thing. It wasn’t like that. It was just like, we going to this place and she may have to mingle with X, Y, and Z.”

For Iman, he wanted to make sure Teyana wasn’t caught off guard. “I don’t want no girl looking at you like she [had me first]. I want her aware of what’s going on so if a girl give her something too smart or slick, she know where it’s coming from and she don’t have to react.” Iman wasn’t the only one giving up details of his sexcapades, either. Teyana let him know who she has messed around with, as well. Would you do the same with your partner? Watch Iman Shumpert talk about his wife Teyana Taylor near the end of the video below.

Love him or hate him, LeBron James has been hailed as one of the NBA’s greatest players of all time. The Akron, Ohio native is respected on and off of the court for his basketball skills, philanthropic efforts, altruistic nature, and of course, Taco Tuesday videos. His former Cleveland Cavaliers teammate, Iman Shumpert, sat down with Vlad TV to discuss what it was like ballin’ in the paint with the basketball icon.

Shumpert recalled moving form the New York Knicks to the Cavaliers and joining forces with LeBron. “It felt weird,” Shumpert said of the early days. “But Bron has a very genuine characteristic. It’s like, he has to share basketball knowledge. It might be his biggest superpower, his ability to get everybody on the same page. It’s actually kinda scary. He can explain this game forward and backward.”

The free-agent went on to call LeBron’s basketball IQ “unbelievable.” Shumpert said James knows the “playbook, knows where everybody’s supposed to be, know the other team’s coach’s playbook, style of coaching, how his ball club’s gonna play.” He added that it’s amazing that LeBron James can know intimate knowledge of every player’s strengths and weaknesses around the court and how their coaches are going to move because of Bron’s passion, skill, and talent of the game. “Make me feel like I didn’t do my homework!” Watch Iman Shumpert praise LeBron James below and check out what else he had to say about playing alongside Carmelo Anthony.

Nine years ago, Iman Shumpert stepped into the NBA scene as the 17th overall pick in the NBA draft. The then-20-year-old didn’t know what was in store for his career especially because that was the year the league shut down over the NBA lockout. While other draft picks were relishing in the good news that they were now professional basketball players, Iman told Coach PR for Vlad TV that nothing really changed because he “was still broke.”

“They were like, ‘What’s the first thing you bought?’ Still broke,” Iman remembered. People would ask him if he took out a loan because he was “good for it,” but the free agent revealed that he had veteran players that were giving him financial advice. “I’ve been broke my whole life,” he said. “I can be broke ’til this [is] over… I was already broke. I’m straight. I’ll figure it out. I just worked out the whole time.”

Iman had people like Jaren Jackson, Tony Allen, and Will Bynum who kept in contact with him as soon as the lockout was in place to make sure he wasn’t making any rash decisions. “[They were] making sure I was straight like, ‘Don’t take no big loan, don’t tweet,'” Iman recalled. “They was all calling me like, ‘I don’t know what these little dumb draft picks are out here doing. Everybody posting cars. Don’t do that sh*t. Chill out.'”

Iman also said his mentors assisted in helping him get minor deals promoting events or products in order to make a bit of money on the side until the lockout was over. He said he survived college on a $12K Pell Grant, so after he made $40K from hosting or promoting, he knew he could live off of that as he watched other rookies take out $2 million loans before even bouncing a ball.

Now that he’s a free agent, Iman Shumpert has more time to work on his music career. The NBA star stopped by Ebro in the Morning to discuss his hip hop ventures, although he didn’t give them a date of when fans could expect to hear his full-length project. Iman did, however, chat about his friend Kobe Bryant and shared a memory of when the late basketball icon visited his high school.

“I can’t remember if somebody asked a question, but basically he was speaking on people sayin’, ‘Don’t put all your eggs in one basket’ type of thing, ‘Don’t spend all your money in one place’ type of vibe,” Iman recalled. “And he said he never believed in it, because he felt, ‘If I’m putting all my eggs in a basket to go for this, if I failed, and this basket drop and all the eggs break, why nobody told me I can just make more eggs?’ Of course, he said it with conviction. He stared straight through us… But he couldn’t see me, and I felt it,” Shumpert continued. “I was just like, ‘He just really believes what he’s saying.’ And he wants it to inspire me and it did. That was my inspiration story.”

Iman also shared a second tale of a time that he was guarding Kobe during a game at Madison Square Garden. “I can’t remember how much he had, but I know I had multiple steals against him,” Shumpert said. “In my head, all I’m thinking of is, ‘When I have this conversation with my brother after the game, how I’m gonna tell him how I stole the ball from Kobe, how I stripped Kobe before he was finna’ to take a shot, how I drove by Kobe and got a dunk.’ I’m thinking about all these things in my head. I’m like, so geeked.”

Then, as soon as the fourth quarter began, things shifted. “Fourth quarter starts, and Kobe said, ‘You had a great game, young fella,'” Iman remembered. “I swear I looked at the clock, like, ‘There’s 12 minutes. What you talking about? What was that?’ You ain’t said nothing the whole game. I’ve been talking sh*t, I done stole the ball, I’m hyped as hell. It’s Kobe Bryant. He ain’t said not one word to me.” Immediately Kobe began making moves that solidified in Iman’s mind that the Los Angeles Lakers icon was indeed superhuman.

Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert dipped from reality to head to the gorgeous Caribbean island that is Jamaica for what appears to be a vacation filled with some well deserved R&R. To kick off the trip, Teyana shared an image of Iman on Instagram that saw him rocking some velvet shorts. The caption made it clear that Teyana was more into what was behind the shorts as opposed to the whole look.

Now a few days into their vacation, the couple’s time together has proven to be nothing but blissful since Iman has come through with sweet words about his wife shared in the form of poetry alongside some sexy images of Teyana in a bikini. “May each morning’s sun kiss you as I do when your eyes are closed. To start your day with a pure energy and more light….fore your imperfections truly make you perfect in the eyes of he who bent the knee,” he wrote. 

Teyana and Iman share four-year-old daughter, Iman Tayla Shumpert Jr., together and when asked back in 2018 if she wanted more kids, she detailed how it wasn’t a focus at the moment. Maybe 2020 will bring about a new lil Shumpert to the household…
