Scottie Pippen made a HORRIBLE mistake 30 years ago, and that mistake cost him his marriage, Media Take Out learned.

Scottie ignored a young man who wanted an autograph, and the kid was devastated. Years later the young man grew up, and started rapping – eventually he became FUTURE.

But Future never quite got over the fact that his childhood hero Scottie Pippen curved him – so he decided to get Scottie back, by sleeping with the NBA legend’s wife Larsa Pippen.

Future explained what happened when he met Scottie to friend and fellow rapper ASAP Rocky, who explained the back story in a recent interview, Media Take Out confirmed.

Now Scottie and Larsa seem to be in a good place with their co-parenting relationship.

“It was definitely a respectable relationship. It wasn’t like a—it was just like we were friends and we needed each other at that moment. And that was basically it,” Pippen said before explaining that people want to paint her as a bad person for mere entertainment. “I think people make more of it. It’s just better conversation for people to say, oh she cheated on him, she this, she that.

Larsa seems content also. When Asked about their first date, she said they talked for seven hours. “He was definitely not what I thought he was going to be like. He was definitely very romantic and different than I expected him to be. … I just expected him to come out and give me like, some lyrics, and be like, ‘two damn bitches at the same damn time,’ I don’t know,” Pippen said, laughing. She went on to add, “We related on the most simple, organic way. I didn’t need anything from him, he didn’t need anything from me. … It wasn’t how you’d think.”
