NBA star Devin Booker is adding fuel to the rumour mill when it comes to his feelings about Kendall Jenner's famous ex-boyfriends. The Phoenix Suns guard, who previously dated the model, made headlines during NBA All-Star Weekend with a pointed comment about Jenner's current ex, Latin music superstar Bad Bunny.

 

Booker was asked by reporters for his thoughts on Bad Bunny's halftime performance at Super Bowl 60, which took place just one week before the NBA's All-Star festivities. His response was notably dismissive.

 

"I'm Mexican, I didn't watch to be completely honest," Booker admitted, according to a report from The Spun via Yahoo Sports.

 

The comment quickly sparked reactions across social media, with fans interpreting the remark as intentional shade toward the Puerto Rican Grammy winner.

 

"They both dated same girl so they already had a beef," one fan observed on social media.

 

Another noted, "He also has indirect social tension with Bad Bunny in pop culture circles because of past relationship overlaps involving Kendall Jenner, which fueled interpretation beyond just 'didn't watch.'"

 

Booker and Jenner had an on-again, off-again relationship that spanned from 2020 to 2022, with the pair frequently spotted at Suns games and sharing vacation photos. Following their split, Jenner was linked to Bad Bunny, though reports indicate that the relationship has also ended.

 

The Suns star was competing in the NBA All-Star Game on Sunday, which featured a new three-team format. Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards took home MVP honours for the exhibition contest.

 

Of course, Booker's response could simply indicate he was focused on preparing for the All-Star Game rather than watching the Super Bowl halftime show. But given the personal history involved, fans and commentators were quick to read between the lines.

 

The Super Bowl 60 halftime show was widely praised, with Bad Bunny delivering an energetic performance that blended his signature reggaeton sound with elaborate staging. The show drew impressive viewership numbers, making Booker's admission that he skipped it all the more conspicuous to those following celebrity gossip circles.

 

As one fan succinctly put it: "I wouldn't have watched it too if I was him."
