A viral quote falsely attributed to Victor Wembanyama ignited debate online, with fans joking, criticizing, and demanding verification, before reports confirmed the statement came from a fake 2024 tweet.

Victor Wembanyama is still early in his NBA career, but anything linked to his name now spreads fast online. The San Antonio Spurs star is closely watched, both on and off the court. That attention exploded again after a viral post tied Wembanyama to a shocking quote about dating, culture, and identity, pulling fans into a heated social media debate that had little to do with basketball.

The controversy centers on a quote widely shared on X that reads, “I can’t date them. They’re too masculine. Paris women are soft and tender, American women remind me of NBA YoungBoy.” The post was paired with a collage image and presented as a direct comment from Wembanyama.

The statement came from a fake tweet from April 2024, with no confirmation from Victor Wembanyama, the San Antonio Spurs, or any major NBA media outlet, rendering the attribution highly doubtful.

In reality, Victor Wembanyama is not dating anyone publicly in 2025 and keeps his private life out of the spotlight. He has also spoken about going through an emotional moment after a frightening blood clot diagnosis. His social media profile shows no signs of a relationship, and under Gregg Popovich, his focus remains on growing the Spurs’ basketball team.
