Marlon Wayans has thrown some lighthearted, yet eyebrow-raising, shade at his older brother, Damon Wayans Sr., confirming a long-standing family rumor. According to Marlon, Damon has a reputation for dating women previously involved with other Wayans family members—including nephews.
In a recent interaction with TMZ, Marlon was asked about Damon’s viral Club Shay Shay interview, where Damon admitted to dating one of his nephew’s ex-girlfriends. Marlon didn’t hesitate to double down on the story.
“Damon, you gotta stop doing that,” Marlon said with a laugh. “That ain’t the first time, Damon. Damon’s the girlfriend-stealing bandit in the Wayans family. You gon’ stop this, Damon. You gon’ stop this! He’s the bandit.”
“Don’t Bring Your Girl Around D”
The White Chicks actor leaned fully into the joke, even singing a few lines from Usher’s U Don’t Have to Call. “We got a thing: don’t bring your girl around D, true player for real,” he said, playfully warning fans and family alike.
But his comments weren’t just playful jabs. Marlon described how even women he assumed were off-limits weren’t safe from Damon’s charm. “Even the ugly ones, he take ’em all,” he joked. “I had one and I was like, ‘There’s no way he’s going to want her.’” According to Marlon, Damon still found something irresistible about her. “‘There’s something sexy about her. She makes me feel a certain way,’” he recalled his brother saying.
Damon Wayans Defends Himself
Meanwhile, Damon offered his own take during his Club Shay Shay interview with Shannon Sharpe. Reflecting on a post-divorce relationship that stirred controversy, Damon explained, “It wasn’t like they were in love.”
He also blamed the limited dating options in Los Angeles. “Do you know how small the pool is out here in Cali?” he asked. “I got divorced… then I saw her and I was just like, I’m in love.”
When asked about the awkwardness that might arise at family events, Damon didn’t deny it. “Family gatherings is awkward,” he said, laughing.
Though clearly shared in good humor, the story has sparked a mix of amusement and disbelief among fans. And with Marlon keeping things lighthearted yet pointed, it seems this sibling rivalry is far from over.
