Empire has character based on Shump?

[Dr. Narcisse]

Havent really watched the show.




"I don't watch that stuff, man," Shumpert told Northeast Ohio Media Group, an annoyed expression on his face.

"They're using my girl's character, her style, her look and she's not getting anything for it," Shumpert said of Teyana Taylor, a real-life R&B singer, dancer and actress who is Shumpert's girlfriend. "They didn't even change her name. They could have at least let my girl audition for the part instead of stealing her character completely.

"And come on man, they're really using a guy with a flat-top like me. Come on. That's ridiculous. They never called us. We were blindsided. We found out by our family and fans when the show aired."

In the series, Hakeem has a girlfriend named Tiana, (played by Seraya McNeill) an R&B singer and dancer who is signed to the record label. The fictional character has an eerily similar persona to Taylor.

Aside from having a first name similar to Taylor's, Tiana has an identical hairstyle. Taylor's signature appearance is wearing her hair in a puffed out, curly form. It's hard not to see the similarities.

Hakeem is dating Tiana in the show.

Calls to the show's producers at FOX Studios in Los Angeles were not returned.

Shumpert, a defensive specialist, is coming off of a game where he tied his career-high of six steals in a 127-94 rout of the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday. So he feels he has a pretty good idea of what stealing looks like.

"I don't see how they can deny it," he said. "Everybody knows."

Tiana is a rip off of Rihanna and the kid with the flat top is more like Chris Brown/Tyga/Kid Ink. Aint nobody thinking about Shump.

[Mr Hate Coffee]

Nope but every broad I've been with hasn't been with someone I know or a colleague and had a very public breakup.

Of all the women you can date, why date someone who has been smutted out by a nikka you'll be guarding a few times a year. Imagine the trash talk

 

[Justise M]

they would have asked Teyana but they needed someone who could sing

So...

Jahmal = Bosh?
Dre = Whiteside?
