“There are rumors that you’re dating Shakira. Are they true?” asked the interviewer.” She’s an incredible human being and an incredible talent, but you never know what people are doing so people just make stuff up. Just because we are friends, she lives in Miami, and her sons are big basketball fans — that doesn’t mean anybody’s dating,” Butler said. He further added, “Just because people hang out doesn’t mean anybody’s dating. But it gives everybody something to talk about, so y’all take it and y’all run with it. She’s very, very cool and that’s all I got!”
Despite Jimmy’s denial, the window of opportunity for him hasn’t yet disappeared. However, from the interview, speculations on his behalf can finally be put to rest ahead of the next ascent to the Playoffs.
