Scottie Pippen’s Son Preston Says Classmates Teased Him Over Larsa’s Relationship With Future

The fallout from Scottie and Larsa Pippen’s highly publicized split didn’t just affect the former couple—it also impacted their children.

Preston Pippen, the son of NBA legend Scottie Pippen and reality star Larsa Pippen, is opening up about the bullying he faced in school amid the controversy surrounding his mother’s relationship with rapper Future.

Speaking candidly about the experience, Preston revealed that his parents’ divorce was already difficult enough, but dealing with public scrutiny and jokes from classmates made things even harder.

“My parents got divorced when I was 15, and it was really tough because there was an affair,” Preston said. “Kids at school, like my friends, would play music by a rapper that my mom was talking to at the time, and it was just sh*tty.”

The relationship between Larsa and Future became a major topic of conversation in 2015 after rumors surfaced that the two were romantically involved. Larsa later confirmed they had a relationship but insisted it happened after she and Scottie had already separated.

According to Larsa, the connection was built on friendship and mutual support during a difficult period in both of their lives. She has repeatedly denied cheating on Scottie and pushed back against narratives suggesting otherwise.

The situation became even more sensationalized after podcast host N.O.R.E. recalled a story claiming Future once joked that he pursued Larsa after Scottie allegedly declined to take a photo with him. The story has circulated for years online, further fueling speculation and headlines.

Now older and more removed from the situation, Preston says he can discuss it more openly, but admitted that navigating the drama as a teenager was far from easy.

The revelation serves as a reminder that while celebrity relationships often become public entertainment, the children caught in the middle frequently deal with the consequences behind the scenes.
