AceShowbiz - Blueface's mom has weighed in on Marcus Jordan and Larsa Pippen's romance after Michael Jordan publicly reacted to his son's relationship with the reality TV star. Showing her support to the NBA icon, Karlissa Saffold has offered some advice to the father of five.
Taking to her Instagram Story, Karlissa wrote on Monday, July 3, "Don't feel bad Mike he about to get ran through just like mines did." Saying from her experience, she continued, "But a hard head makes for a soft a**. Stay in his ear like you did them ninjas on the court and F the media when they tell you yo son grown."
"Cuz out here in these sucka streets that don't mean s**t," Karlissa added. She also let Michael know that he can reach out to her if he needs "some support," saying, "Call me if you need some support cuz I know you seen me dealing with it all year but God."
Michael let his feelings be known about his son Marcus dating Larsa when met by paparazzi in Paris on Sunday. When asked if he gave his son his approval for Marcus' relationship with his much older girlfriend, who is the ex-wife of Michael's former teammate Scottie Pippen, the former Chicago Bulls star simply replied, "No!"
When asked the second time, the former professional basketball player remained adamant as he shook his head "no."
Michael's response seemed to contradict his son's claim on Marcus and Larsa's joint podcast. In the first episode of "Separation Anxiety With Hosts Larsa Pippen & Marcus Jordan" which was released on June 13, Marcus admitted their relationship came as a surprise to his family, but they eventually accepted it.
"I don't think there was ever any hurdles, I just think there was some shock value to the fact that we were dating. Caught maybe some people on my side of the family off guard a little bit," the 32-year-old explained. "I think once people really got to understand and see us together, it made everything a little more comfortable. My parents want to see me happy. Your family wants to see you happy. That's all you could ever ask for."
