Marlon Wayans Slams Brother Damon For History Of Interest In Relatives' Partners

Marlon Wayans is putting the family business on blast, and he is aiming straight at his big brother Damon Wayans Sr.

The younger star did not mince words while dragging him for what he saw as a shady habit. His comments come a week after Damon owned up to dating his nephew's ex-girlfriend.

Marlon Wayans is born into a tight-knit New York family of ten siblings, including comedy legends Shawn, Keenen Ivory, and Kim. 

During a candid moment at LAX, the comedian slammed Damon for what he says is a long-running habit of cozying up to women who have dated other men in the family.

Calling Damon the "girlfriend-stealing bandit of the Wayans clan," Marlon did not hold back. "Damon, you gon' stop doing this," he said, practically begging his brother to quit the repeat offense. "It ain't the first time, stop it!"

TMZ caught the fiery comments, which included Marlon joking about an unofficial family rule, even spitting a quick freestyle, "Don't bring a girl around D, two playing for real." He added, "It's not what brothers, siblings, uncles, and nephews do."

And just when you think he might let up, Marlon made it clear Damon is not selective. "Even the ugly ones, he takes 'em all," he said. He even recalled one woman he brought around, thinking she was safe from Damon's attention until the 64-year-old found her sexy anyway. 

Before Marlon roasted his brother in public, Damon had already raised eyebrows with a bombshell of his own. In a candid sit-down on the "Club Shay Shay" podcast with Shannon Sharpe, Damon confessed that he once dated a woman who had been romantically involved with his nephew.

The Blast reported that the veteran comedian did not shy away from the controversial revelation and admitted, "I was in love with her."

He recalled being instantly drawn to the woman, saying, "I saw her, and I was just like, 'Oh my God. I'm in love.'" He later discovered that she had once dated someone in his own family.

When Sharpe raised the obvious question about whether that crossed a line, Damon tried to put things in perspective, saying his nephew and the woman were not in love and joking that people act like he is the first to do this kind of thing. 

He even drew a cheeky comparison to the Jacksons, quipping, "You ain't never done the Jackson 5?" a nod to Jermaine Jackson marrying his brother Randy's ex.

The star did not just acknowledge dating his nephew's ex, he unpacked how the whole thing played out. Damon shared that before entering the relationship, he asked his nephew for permission to pursue the woman, hoping to avoid unnecessary tension. 

While the green light may have eased his conscience, Damon joked that navigating family events came with some awkward moments. Still, the Wayans clan is known for building their careers together across sketch comedy, sitcoms, and film; their collaborations have become a hallmark of their success.

At the time of his reflection, Damon is starring in the CBS comedy "Poppa's House" alongside his real-life son, Damon Wayans Jr. Behind the scenes, his siblings are still heavily involved. His brother Marlon and his sister Kim stepped behind the camera to direct an episode.

With his appearance on "Poppa's House," Damon made a dynamic return to the small screen, proving that his comedic fire has not dimmed. 

While television and film helped build his legacy, the entertainer stayed rooted in his first love, stand-up comedy. Best known to many for his hilarious and sometimes edgy performances, Damon wore many hats behind the scenes as well. 

His writing, directing, and producing credits span cult classics like "The Last Boy Scout," "Mo'Money," "Blankman," and "Bamboozled." He also took on the role of Roger Murtaugh in the "Lethal Weapon" franchise, proving he could bring seriousness to the screen.

Damon stood firmly in Chappelle's corner during one of the most heated controversies in modern stand-up.

As criticism swirled around the 51-year-old's "Closer" Netflix special, which many labeled as transphobic, Damon did not hesitate to voice his support. The producer commended Chappelle for boldly defending the right to free expression in comedy.

He drew a striking comparison between Chappelle and Vincent van Gogh, suggesting that, like the iconic painter who sacrificed so much for his art, Chappelle was putting himself on the line for the integrity of the craft.

Damon did not deny that the material was controversial, but to him, that was the point. He applauded Chappelle's courage to push boundaries and speak his truth, believing it opened doors for other comedians to express themselves authentically in an increasingly restrictive climate.
