Scottie Pippen’s ex-wife, Larsa Pippen met Future in 2015

Larsa Pippen and Future met towards the end of 2015, as revealed by Larsa herself, the two spoke for over seven hours during their first meeting. Shortly after they met, rumors circulated, alleging that Larsa was having an affair with Future. From here, it didn’t take long for the internet to make a laughing stock out of Scottie Pippen.


Fans suggested that Future had a physical relationship with Scottie’s then-wife because he was denied an autograph by the Bulls legend when he was a child. A year after these rumors broke out, Scottie and Larsa filed for divorce. They reconciled and spent two more years together before filing for divorce again in 2018.

After a lengthy procedure and settlement process, Scottie Pippen and Larsa Pippen’s divorce was finalized in 2021. Since then, Larsa has shed light on her relationship with Future. Here’s what she revealed during a conversation on Hollywood Raw:

“We were just two people that were trying to figure our way. I felt like I was stuck in a marriage that I wasn’t really happy in and he was trying to find his way too. It was just super organic and simple. It wasn’t like how you probably would think.”

When talking about why their relationship didn’t work, Pippen mentioned that there was too much pressure because of Future’s busy wife. She mentioned that she would be better off dating someone who isn’t in the public eye as often. Larsa clearly didn’t practice what she preached as she went on to have a relationship with NBA star, Malik Beasley.

However, for Scottie, the angst doesn’t end there. Future has continued to take digs at Scottie by mentioning Larsa in the lyrics of songs like “Rent Money,” “Federal Fed,” and “Thought It was Drought.”
