Scotty Pippen Jr. reacts to mom Larsa Pippen, Malik Beasley date controversy
Scotty Pippen Jr., the 20-year-old son of NBA legend Scottie and Larsa Pippen, seems to be aware of his mother’s recent rendezvous.
The Vanderbilt basketball star spoke out Tuesday on Twitter, not long after photos emerged of his mother holding hands with Minnesota Timberwolves guard Malik Beasley, 24.
“Focused on myself and my goals. I’m not responsible for nobody’s actions. All good over here,” Pippen Jr. tweeted.
He also “liked” a tweet that read, “Dear Scotty Pippen Jr if you are reading this stay focused kid, don’t worry about social media, i know thats ya moms but you gotta control what you can control,” via Awesemo.com.
The photographs of Pippen and Beasley — who was charged Oct. 30 with felony threats of violence and fifth-degree drug possession — are from a Nov. 23 outing in Miami.
Beasley’s wife, Montana Yao, is said to have been “blindsided” by the images, according to TMZ.
“Wow… I don’t even know this man… this is wild y’all I’m seeing it for the first time just like y’all,” Yao posted Tuesday to her Instagram story.
An Instagram model, Yao, who shares a child with Beasley, also faces charges linked to his arrest.
In the wake of the Pippen-Beasley photographs, another woman has come forward, alleging she and the NBA star had been involved, per Black Sports Online, which published what appeared to be a collection of exchanges with Beasley.
Larsa divorced the former Chicago Bulls star, 55, in 2018, two years after they initially called it quits. The duo has four children together, including Scotty Jr.
Last month, Pippen claimed she dated newly signed Boston Celtic Tristan Thompson before Khloé Kardashian did. Thompson shares 2-year-old daughter True with Kardashian.
Over the summer, Pippen spoke out amid her rumored feud with Kim Kardashian, writing, “I woke up this morning blessed and see that everybody is focused on who I am following and who I am not following on social media.”
“I am focused on my children, my new fitness brand Larsapippenfitness, and my relationships in real life,” she continued on her Instagram story.
Reps for Pippen did not immediately return The Post’s request for comment.
