Y'all listen and please listen clear! I will not speak on this situation again… Me and Waka separation had nothing to do with ANYONE! Waka did not leave me for ANYONE lol. We made a mutual decision that we needed to separate, Sometime ppl use other people's lives to prey off and get attention, I guess for IG likes or followers. It's very sad but it's the truth and the world we live in… Waka is a Great man and father to my child, we all make mistakes and learn from them. BUT PLEASE don't listen to these attention seekers. Just pray for them!! Y'all have a blessed day!! 💋

The couple wed in 2014 and their relationship has been chronicled on the wildly popular VH1 reality show, Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta.

We have to admit, our hearts are a little broken over this split because we didn’t see it coming. Here’s to hoping these two find their way back to one another sooner rather than later!
