Marcus Jordan posts cryptic messages after Larsa Pippen's recent comment on his addiction

In August 2024 - months after the breakup with Larsa Pippen - pictures of Marcus Jordan snorting a white substance in France went viral on the internet. The son of the NBA legend was pictured with IG model Ashley Stevenson during a poolside lunch.

Last week, when Larsa Pippen appeared on The Jason Lee Show, she was asked by the host if she knew about Marcus Jordan's "cocaine habit." Although she refused to talk about Marcus's cocaine addiction, she said that she was not aware of it.

"I didn't know anything about that. We can't talk about that coz like I wasn't privy to that, didn't know all that," she said.

On Monday, Marcus Jordan posted a series of cryptic messages seemingly aimed at Pippen for mentioning his name during the interview. He posted a picture of his lavish meal and captioned it with two messages.

"People as what happened, I go silent🤐," he wrote in the caption.

"I wouldn't even speak on you, but now you wanna mention meee 🤨😑."
