When Zendaya did not answer any questions, the paparazzi asked her father if he approved of the relationship between the two.“What relationship? There is no relationship, we’re just friends,” Coleman said at the time. He then told them about the scenario when it could be called a relationship. “When you see my daughter out on a date without me, it’s a relationship,” he said. Coleman also added that at that moment, it was just an audition. “It’s like an audition. It’s an interview,” the father said, and the trio drove away.

OBJ started his NFL journey with the Giants. The Giants snapped the LSU alumni in the first round of the 2014 NFL draft. After five seasons with the Giants, he went to the Cleveland Browns in 2019. The Browns released OBJ halfway through the 2021 season. But it became a blessing in disguise for the WR because he joined the Rams and lifted the Vince Lombardi trophy with them. He hasn’t played in the NFL since then.
