In the ever-entertaining world of sports and entertainment, rumors and speculations can sometimes take on a life of their own. One such rumor that recently caught the attention of fans and media alike was the claim that NBA player Jordan Poole had spent a whopping half a million dollars on a date with the popular rapper, Ice Spice. However, the Washington Wizards guard has now come forward to set the record straight, declaring the rumor as “fake news.”
During a meet-and-greet with fans, a young supporter took the opportunity to ask Poole about the alleged extravagant date with Ice Spice. Poole’s response was unequivocal: “Definitely not. Definitely cap!” With this straightforward denial, he addressed the speculations that had been circulating for months.
The rumor first began when rapper Cam’ron, on his “It Is What It Is” podcast, called out Poole during his time with the Golden State Warriors, criticizing both his playoff performance and the rumored lavish date. Cam’ron claimed that Jordan Poole had spent a staggering $500,000 on the outing, adding, “You’re a munch and you’re playing like a f***ing munch.”
Naturally, fans ran with this sensational rumor, particularly considering Poole had recently signed a four-year, $140 million contract extension. With Ice Spice being one of the hottest female rappers in the industry, the idea of such an extravagant date seemed plausible to many.
However, with Poole’s candid denial, it’s safe to say that the rumor can be put to rest. Still, it’s worth noting that rumors in the world of sports and entertainment often persist despite strong denials, often fueled by internet trolls seeking to keep the buzz alive.
Some may argue that Poole only denied spending a substantial sum on a date with Ice Spice and not the date itself. However, it’s important to consider that in the world of rumors and gossip, anything not explicitly denied can be taken as a grain of truth. Therefore, it seems Poole’s statement was a categorical rejection of the entire premise of the rumor.
What’s intriguing is that Ice Spice herself has never addressed the rumor. Her silence on the matter only adds to the speculation’s mystique. This isn’t the first time Ice Spice has found herself at the center of dating rumors either. Fans previously believed she was in a relationship with Lil Tjay after he gifted her a $150,000 watch, but reports suggested that they were just friends.
In conclusion, Jordan Poole has spoken out to debunk the extravagant date rumor with Ice Spice. While his denial should put an end to the speculation, the ever-entertaining world of sports and entertainment may continue to keep this rumor alive for its entertainment value. It’s a reminder that in today’s age of social media and instant communication, rumors can spread like wildfire, and celebrities often find themselves having to address baseless claims and conspiracy theories.
