Kris Humphries Signs Rich Contract with Brooklyn Nets, Jabs Kanye West

Truth rating: 10

Kris Humphries is moving with the Nets to Brooklyn — and getting paid plenty to do it.

The power forward and Kim Kardashian ex has agreed to a two-year deal with the NBA team worth a reported $24 million.

He averaged career highs in points and rebounds per game playing for the Nets in New Jersey last season.

The team is partially owned by Jay-Z, whose pal and Watch The Throne collaborator Kanye West is of course now dating Kardashian.

In April, West released “Cold” (previously called “Theraflu”), a track that refers to his Kardashian romance and says of Humphries, “Lucky I ain’t had Jay drop him from the team.”

On Tuesday, Humphries celebrated his new contract with a tweet to Jay-Z that mocked West’s threat.

“I’m up at Brooklyn! @S_C_ ‘lucky I didn’t have Jay drop me from the team’ lol!” wrote Humphries.

No response yet from the rapper.

    He almost got traded, but Kris Humphries isn’t a great player & I don’t think anyone would have traded their best players for him.

  • Samlupowitz

    He’s a mediocre player, but he’s lucky not to be involved with that little pigmy anymore. She belongs with a male pigmy, and that’s where she is now.

  • jackalexandria

    kardashians ex, sorry to bust your own story Gossip cop, but as far as I’m aware, they are still married.

  • Chloe

    Kris did have a good season last season. But, here he goes again with that mouth of his, he better learn to stay in his lane. It was messed up with what Kanye did but that is Kanye, everyone knows JayZ is too smart to get involved with Kanye’s mess. Kris should not stoop to Kanye’s level I’m afraid now this is going to continue.

    Ex doesn’t have to mean they are divorced. They’re no longer together, that makes them exes.

    He isn’t that great of a player, and he might also have given a woman herpes! Read about it:
