Former UFC Knights basketball player Marcus Jordan has been focusing on his retail online business, maintaining a low profile in public. However, a recent photograph of him allegedly snorting a suspicious white powder during a lunch outing sparked controversy.
Born to the legendary Hall of Fame Basketball player Michael Jordan, Marcus played college basketball at the University of Central Florida but left the team in August 2012.
Furthermore, he did not continue playing basketball after college and instead focused on his business ventures.
Jordan started a high-end sneaker store called Trophy Room, inspired by the trophy room in his family’s residence.
The store, previously located in the retail area of Disney World in Orlando, has closed and transitioned to online-only sales.

At the time, Jordan was on holiday in France with friends and his new girlfriend, Ashley Stevenson.
Ashley laughed alongside him and her friends in other pictures from the scene.
Moreover, Marcus has been facing negative publicity recently due to his public breakup with his ex-girlfriend, Larsa.
However, fans were also equally shocked that Marcus had a new woman in his life just months after his split with Larsa.
Additionally, Marcus’s new girlfriend has been very open about their relationship, sharing numerous posts from their summer holiday together.
The new couple has even been bold enough to show some PDA, as seen in the pictures shared online.
Marcus Jordan Had a Messy Breakup With His Ex-girlfriend, Larsa Pippen!
Marcus Jordan and his ex-girlfriend, TV reality star Larsa Pippen, had a public relationship after becoming an official couple online.
However, the pair broke up in March after just a year, and despite their efforts to reconcile, it did not work out.
Part of the reason the couple faced significant struggles was that their relationship was highly public, which turned their breakup into a big mess.
Further, Larsa opened up about Marcus confirming their split in the AMY & TJ podcast, saying:
I feel like I have to be true to who I am, What I’m doing and what he’s doing, you know? I want him to be happy. He’s a great guy, but I just don’t feel like it’s for me.
The feud started when Jordan responded on his Instagram stories after the episode’s release, claiming she was doing it for clout, saying:
Rewriting history for clout is not cute. Funny how ppl change, just to be part of a conversation that’s irrelevant.
Furthermore, on October 17, 2024, Larsa shared her new take on her love life after the breakup with Marcus, saying:
I think from my last relationship, it was so public that I think in this chapter of my life, I want to keep certain things to myself
