(UPDATE) Iman Shumpert Pissed At ‘Empire’, Claims Show Stole His & Teyana Taylor’s Character
He continues:
And come on man, they’re really using a guy with a flat top like me. Come on. That’s ridiculous. They never called us. We were blindsided. We found out by our family and fans when the show aired.
If you’ve seen EMPIRE before do you agree or disagree with his claims? [SB Nation]
Update #2: Iman has released the following statement:
The ‘Empire’ story pertaining to myself and my girlfriend Teyana has gotten out of hand. Fans of the show and friends have told us on many occasions that couple favors us but we do not all feel that our lives are being copied/stolen….I apologize to the actors on the show because they’re just being professionals and don’t deserve slander that’s not what I was trying to portray and I have to be more careful with my choice of words…I do not appreciate the writer using his questions with my answers to draw quotes like I was making these elaborate answers but that’s the media. The writer took a 2-3 min convo of locker room talk after a GREAT TEAM WIN and made it look like a sit down interview and it wasn’t….He twisted words to get the point that he wanted to get across. This is not that serious and though we don’t watch the show we are not against it.”

Negro go sit ya ass down somewhere How they steal your character. Yall characters now. These actors are way more attractive they u and ur gurl. Dyam can’t the show just thrive w/o everybody and they mama trying to find a reason to give it negative press?
I agree!!! Why is everyone claiming the show stole their likeness?? No one knows you and really not checking for your girl!! Watch the show before you make judgements stupid!! This show is not about you or her!
LOL, dude please have several seats..can you say delusional?
Everyone is trying to get on this train of success. Thank god the train left their asses at the station! Keep striving “EMPIRE”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Iman is so hard on the eyes…whooo boy!
it’s obvious that the show based the relationship on chris Brown and Rihanna. He is so thirsty. Chris Brown was accused at one point of messing around wiht his much older manager, Tina (Naomi) and was supposedly the reason h got into that big brawl with Rihanna. And Rihanna has been rumored to be bi, ppl have accused her of being in some sort of relationship with her best friend Melissa, and white women such as Cara Develigne (sp). Hence, Tiana and her messing around with her white BFF. Iman and Teyana, please find the nearest seat…. and… sit.
I thought the relationship was based off of Chris and Rihanna too. Who cares about Teyana and her dude. Focus on your music Teyana cuz you are that hot yet.
Iman plays basketball, idk how in the complete hell he even assumed this show was coming for him and teyanna. Why they focusing on this dams show supposedly stealing their identity, they need to worry about teyanna doing so many damn sit ups though, stomach look like a brick wall nshit. that girl is too strong. she prob bench press iman, you see he the one making the public staments n shit like a bih
Too funny!
