I must have missed a few chapters in life because when did showing off a married man as your own become something to brag about? Things are not looking good for Iman, who got exposed by his side piece once again. It might have been somewhat excusable if it was just Iman talking in the background of the video, since he is allowed to be around other people, right? But what was more surprising was that the woman also posted a photo wearing what looked like Iman’s chain. Another photo making the rounds shows the woman leaning on him very comfortably. At this point, I’m convinced that Iman and Tiana must have some sort of arrangement, because she can’t possibly be okay with all this cheating.
Honestly, I don’t understand why the woman posted all those things. When confronted, she claimed there was nothing going on between her and Iman. She even responded to a comment saying, “That’s my chain. I’m not wearing his chain. We are just friends; we always tag and post each other. The blogs and others wanted to make it weird for their benefit.” When asked why she was leaning on Iman suggestively, she explained that she was his artist, they were in the studio, and she leans like that on people all the time.
Let me get this straight: she just happened to casually have a matching chain with a married man, was laying on him while they were working, and then posted about it on social media? In what world is that even remotely okay? Also, Iman is a public figure. If you’re posting in that manner, you must have known it would attract attention. As much as I’d love to believe it was a mistake and nothing was happening, Iman’s well-documented history of cheating since marrying Tiana tells a completely different story.
So, there was a lot of talk about why Tayana and Iman’s reality show got axed, and one of the big rumors was about cheating. But when Tayana spoke up about why the show got canned, she only mentioned production issues. But let’s be real, there’s been a fair share of whispers about Iman playing around. Remember back in 2016? Iman and Tayana were all over the headlines with rumors flying about Iman stepping out on her. There was this woman who claimed she’d been seeing Iman for a solid two years, which just happened to overlap with his time with Tayana. Word was, Iman slid into this woman’s DMs and set up a meet at some hotel in Denver. And get this, when she showed up, Kyrie Irving, Iman’s teammate from the Cleveland Cavaliers, was chilling there too. The woman spilled that the guys were angling for a threesome, but she wasn’t down. Kyrie apparently took her phone beforehand, probably to stop any recording, and then chucked it at her when she turned down their offer and left the room. Crazy stuff, right?
Both Iman and Tayana firmly denied the allegations. Iman took to Instagram to address the issue, acknowledging his past mistakes in a now-deleted post. He confessed, “I was young. I was selfish. I have broken hearts and been insensitive to them.” He clarified that he had remained faithful to Tayana throughout their relationship. Concerned about the negative attention directed towards Tayana, he emphasized her positive energy and deserving nature, pledging to give her the world she deserves. Moreover, in a heartfelt video message, he appealed to the public to respect his wife’s privacy, stressing his commitment to building a loving family and a secure future together.
It wasn’t the sole instance of cheating allegations. Back in 2018, Iman’s name surfaced during Drake’s tiff with his then-current partner, Sophie, over their hidden child. Sophie was anxious, unsure of the baby’s father, speculating it could be ASAP Rocky, James Harden, Iman Shumpert, or even Beyonce’s backup dancer. However, it turned out to be Drake’s child, much to her delight. Iman vehemently denied any involvement with Sophie.
Fast forward to January 2019, another accusation emerged. Rumors swirled that Alby Rydes had relations with both Tayana and Iman, allegedly resulting in pregnancy. Tayana swiftly defended Iman, stating, “I’ve never encountered that girl in my life.” She explained her social media absence amidst the scandal, attributing it to frustration with Def Jam for delays in releasing her WTP video. Tayana lamented the propagation of falsehoods, asserting Iman’s fidelity. In response, Iman vowed legal action against blogs spreading false information, emphasizing his admiration for women’s journey through motherhood. While Iman referred to Alby as a friend, Tayana insisted she had never crossed paths with her, casting doubt on the situation.
It’s hard to forget the turbulence of February 2022. There was this whole saga on TikTok, you see. There’s this account there that dishes out these wild, unverified stories, kind of making fun of them. Well, they got a submission suggesting that Iman might be up to his old cheating ways again. The story seemed to point fingers at Tayana, you know, with hints about a singer with two daughters who’d been on “Dancing With the Stars.” According to the video, Tayana found out about her husband’s infidelity and ended up in a messy situation, collapsed in a bathroom surrounded by candy. But rewind to November of the previous year, Tayana had posted a pic from a hospital bed, apologizing for missing a show due to exhaustion. But here’s the twist – according to the rumor mill, that hospital visit was all a cover-up. Apparently, Tayana had OD’d after finding out about Iman’s affair. Amidst all this drama, Tayana clapped back, calling out the person who sent in the story and the one who acted it out as straight-up fools. She urged folks to stop feeding into this negativity and instead support successful black women like herself. She stood by Iman, despite the cheating rumors swirling around.
Just so you know, those aren’t the only instances. There have been a few more incidents, and honestly, I can’t see Tayana being okay with all of it. It makes you wonder if those rumors about them having an open relationship and being into threesomes are actually true. And now, all the attention is back on them. Some insiders are saying that their relationship might be over because Tayana couldn’t handle the disrespect anymore. Remember that blind item back in April? It hinted that Iman and Tayana had split and were just pretending everything was fine, with Tayana’s mom stepping in to help out since she’s now raising her kid alone. So, with these new cheating rumors swirling around, a lot of folks believe Iman and Tayana have already split but are putting on a front. Iman messed up and got caught on tape. Some even think Tayana might have her own thing going on, maybe with another woman, but she’s just better at keeping it under wraps.
Fans are chiming in on all of this. One person said, “This is why I’m not down with threesomes and open marriages. If you’re okay with that, you’re basically okay with this mess too. You opened that door.” Another added, “Who’s surprised by this? Not many. Tayana has been pretty open about their relationship dynamic, even in her music.” But what’s your take? Do you think Iman and Tayana have called it quits? Do you think they’ve got some kind of arrangement that lets them see other people? I’m curious to hear your thoughts, so drop them in the comments below.
