Van Jones calls Kim Kardashian dating rumors ‘absurd’

Political commentator Van Jones says rumors that he and Kim Kardashian dated are “absurd.”

Jones, a regular face on CNN since 2013, was linked to Kardashian after she filed for divorce from Kanye West in February because he was said to have been a mentor in her studies to become a lawyer.

Jones, however, exclusively told Page Six at the reopening of Jay-Z’s 40/40 Club Saturday, “I never made any comments about the rumors of me and Kim Kardashian dating as I found it absurd.”

He added, “It was flattering for me, but it probably wasn’t flattering for her.”

Stars including Meek Mill, Megan Thee Stallion, The-Dream, Fabolous, J Balvin and Victor Cruz were also in attendance at Jay-Z’s event Saturday.

Former Bad Boy rapper Moses Michael “Shyne” Levi Barrow was there too, but he said he had no intention of performing any of his hits — even if Jay-Z, 51, requested it — because he is now a political representative in Belize.

“Absolutely not,” he told Page Six. “I’m here as a leader of the House of Representatives in Belize, and Jay-Z is a friend of mine. He’s also a world leader — not just in hip-hop; he is a leader in the world, and it’s a culture. So, he’s one of the greatest entrepreneurs ever an American icon but [also] a world icon.”

Shyne, 42, added, “Whenever I could come and celebrate an icon such as Jay-Z that I’ve known for 20 something years, I’ll take the opportunity.”
