Philadelphia 76ers’ Joel Embiid isn’t here for the Rihanna romance rumors – at all. The high-profile athlete has responded to speculation about coming for RiRi after making this year’s NBA All-Star team.
During a post-game interview last night, Joel laughed off the idea of thirsting over RiRi after getting curbed by her in the past and getting told to holler once he made an All-Star team.
A few years back, RiRi low-key curved Joel when he tried to allegedly get with her.
Last year, Joel hilariously clashed with former adult performer Mia Khalifa on social media.
Recently, reports surfaced about Joel going to check on longtime fan and friend Meek Mill.
Joel went to visit Meek last Friday, along with 76ers co-owner Michael Rubin, and we’re told the visit went as good as it could. As one Sixers source put it, “They really lifted Meek’s spirits.” (TMZ Sports)
