AceShowbiz - Lil Duval has predicted the future of Nia Long and Ime Udoka's relationship in the wake of his cheating scandal. Sharing his interesting take on the headline-grabbing issue, the comedian thinks that the actress and the basketball coach will stay together despite his alleged infidelity.

The "Guy Code" star weighed in on the scandal via Twitter on Saturday, September 24. "I got a stack saying nia long ain't going no where," so the 45-year-old funnyman tweeted, prompting mixed response from fellow users.

One person disagreed with him, writing, "I got 5 stacks she's leaving? Let's make it official." Another similarly believed, "She's not and there shouldn't be any pressure on her to do so. All smoke should be directed at him!!!!" A third, however, suggested that Nia was not that shocked with the news as claiming, "Oh boy been cheating on Nia. This not new to her. It's new to us lol."

Another celebrity who has shared a controversial take on Ime scandal was Michael Blackson. Defending the former Nigerian basketball player, he thinks that Nia should give her man a pass to have a side chic, dubbing it the privilege of rich men.

"If Halle Berry and [Beyonce Knowles] can get cheated on what's wrong with Nia Long get cheated on? The prettier our ladies are the more we want to bang an average chic lol," the funnyman wrote via his Instagram Story, before adding in the caption, "Every rich man needs a once a month side chic pass, we worked hard for it. Broke men stay out of this convo please."

The Boston Celtics announced on Thursday, September 22 that Ime, their second-year head coach, is suspended for the entire 2022-23 NBA season for violations of the team's code of conduct. The decision was made following reports that he engaged in an improper, but consensual relationship with a female staff member.

Following the team's decision, Ime said in a statement, "I want to apologize to our players, fans, the entire Celtics organization, and my family for letting them down." The 45-year-old added, "I am sorry for putting the team in this difficult situation, and I accept the team's decision. Out of respect for everyone involved, I will have no further comment."

Nia has also broken her silence on Ime's alleged affair. "The outpouring of love and support from family, friends and the community during this difficult time means so much to me," the 51-year-old said through her spokeswoman. "I ask that my privacy be respected as I process the recent events. Above all, I am a mother and will continue to focus on my children."

Meanwhile, details of Ime's alleged mistress have been unearthed. According to TMZ, the woman that got intimate with Ime worked with Celtics' team travel planner. She allegedly even helped Nia with the latter's arrangements to move to Boston permanently two weeks ago. The Celtics have not released the name of the employee, but Nia has reportedly been told who she is.
