He said on the “Sincerely Regards Justin Laboy Show” in September that he split the rent with his ex-girlfriend to make sure she was with him “with the right intentions.”
“When you have money, as you know, it’s very hard to tell a woman’s intentions… I’ve never bought expensive gifts for a girl before this last girl, and it was so nice to do that,” said Porter, who agreed to a massive $200 million contract extension with the Nuggets in 2021. on the podcast.
“But I still wanted to know that she was with me for the right reasons. Every man in this person’s past had money. So I never wanted to feel like a girl was only with me because of what I had and what I could give her.”
