‘Ain’t Nobody Looking at That Damn Chain!’: Teyana Taylor Has Fans Lusting Over Her Man’s ‘Centerpiece’

Singer Teyana Taylor‘s love for her husband doesn’t go unnoticed.

The “Gonna Love Me” songstress shouted out her beloved hubby, former NBA player Iman Shumpert, in a sexy Instagram post this week as the two vacationed in Montego Bay, Jamaica, this week. Fans went wild over the photo and couldn’t take their eyes off Shumpert’s “centerpeice.”

On Friday, Taylor posted a pic of a shirtless Shumpert rocking a green camouflage bucket hat, blinged-out necklace and a pair of blue velvet beach shorts from online boutique Centerpiece clothing. She tagged the brand in her caption, writing: “Him: I love my new @centerpiececlothing chain you got me babe.”

Writing in her voice, Taylor continued: “Me: I love ya center piece too 🥴🙃,” btw ya shorts are beautiful what is it velvet?!! s/o @icebox for the vacay goodies, now I’m finna give him some vacay goodies. JAMAICA JAMAICAAAAAAAA Perioddddddddd 😩😩😩✌🏾.

Fans fawned over the seductive social post, as Taylor gave them a glimpse of what her husband is working with below deck.

“Girl ain’t nobody looking at that damn chain! 👀🙊,” one user commented.

“I wasn’t reeeeaaadddyyy! 😩 *shifts wig,*” another chimed in.

One fan apologized, saying, “Sorry teyana, I zoomed in 😩🙄😩😩😩😩,” while another couldn’t help but marvel at “That print 😩😩😩❤️😍.”

“She just dangling a toy in front of us she know we can’t have 😭😭😭,”  another opined.

The responses only got crazier from there, with one fan flat-out demanding the couple “drop the damn sex tape!!!” already. Taylor and Shumpert, who wed in 2016, have been transparent about their marriage and sex life and the fact that they welcome threesomes.

“I’m not saying it’s what you have to do,” Taylor said in a 2019 interview with radio DJ Big Boy. “I’m saying when you make a vow and when you’re married, it ain’t no limits. Period. It ain’t no, what you gon’ do, what you not gon’ do. Why do we get married? How we gon’ get married and then have limits?”

The couple would later be forced to defend themselves against nasty rumors that one of their ménages à trois resulted in Shumpert getting another woman pregnant.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
