R&B Star Opens Up About NBA Relationship Rumors

LOS ANGELES, CA — R&B singer Coco addressed her dating life in a recent interview with Shannon Sharpe, confirming her connection to an NBA player amid circulating rumors and public speculation. The episode aired on the popular show “Club Shay Shay,” where she discussed privacy and personal disclosure as a public figure.

During the conversation, Sharpe directly questioned Coco about the buzz surrounding her relationship with the Cleveland Cavaliers star. “You said it was nothing, but I think it’s odd holding hands, going to an Usher concert,” Sharpe remarked, referencing a sighting of the pair at the concert in Las Vegas last year.

Coco responded light-heartedly, appreciating the attention from fans. “I love the internet because they definitely clocked my tea. Little spies everywhere,” she said. However, she emphasized that her music serves as her main outlet for sharing personal stories.

When further probed about her need for privacy, Coco explained her stance on public scrutiny. “Secrecy is not what I prefer. I don’t want to feel like I have to be somebody’s secret. For me, I’m trying to protect myself, and I’m trying to protect my family and who I love, so I am more private,” she stated.

She added, “I also feel like I give so much. I work so hard and I will always do my part on the business side, the ‘Coco’ side, the singing side, the acting side. So why do I have to also give y’all something that is sacred to me when I give so much on that side?” Coco further stressed the importance of balance in her public and private life.

The interview sparked mixed reactions from fans, with many finding her admission unsurprising. One enthusiastic fan commented on social media, “What exactly is the rumor? She sits courtside next to the bench at every one of his home games lmao.”

Another user expressed their enthusiasm for uncovering hidden messages in Coco’s music, stating, “I’m a fan of hers, but I’m definitely going to listen to the album for any Cavs/Basketball/Donovan references. I’m nosey.”

Looking ahead, Coco plans to release her debut album titled “Why Not More” on April 25, which has generated excitement among her fans. She has already teased a new single titled “Taste” and announced corresponding tour dates.
