Known for her appearances on the reality TV show The Real Housewives of Miami, Larsa Pippen has been in conversation about her relationship with Marcus Jordan. The two reportedly met in 2019 and appeared to confirm their romance when they were spotted kissing in 2023.
Their relationship has been a topic of discussion not only due to the 16-year age difference but also due to the complex familial ties, as Pippen’s ex-husband Scottie Pippen was a teammate of Jordan’s father in the 1990s.
However, more than a year after confirming their relationship, Pippen and Jordan chose to go their separate ways, leading Pippen to share a brief statement on her Instagram account. The post, however, did not sit well with the rapper, Mase, who openly criticized her in a recent episode of It Is What It Is.

In a viral moment from the It Is What It Is podcast, Mase highlighted her marriage to Scott Pippen and her issues with the Jordans and her ex-husband, referring to them as Batman and Robin, respectively. He said,
“Ain’t you Scottie’s ex-wife? Now you mad with the Pippens and the Jordans? You got no future in Chicago, I hope you know what. You mad with Batman and Robin and now baby Batman. What’s going on Larsa?”
Mase also highlighted how it could affect, her son, Scott Pippen Jr. “And allegedly it this kind of behavior that could make it troublesome even for your son playing basketball,” he said during the conversation. The rapper further emphasized that a relationship involving a younger man and an older woman can affect men as significantly as when the roles are reversed.
