Teyana Taylor finally breaks the dramatic silence of her divorce from Iman Shumpert, the father of the children.
In recent emotional life, the singer and actress accused her ex-husband of using media to shape their split public narrative while not being able to support or protect her throughout the process. Taylor shared the first questions of his Instagram post with British actor Aaron Pierre after Oscars, and the report began describing a supposed divorce settlement.
Taylor reportedly took away four luxury properties worth over $10 million, including multiple expensive vehicles, including a $300,000 Maybach, a $70,000 Mercedes sprinter and a custom tour bus, and had complete control of her business. She claimed that the former NBA champion was blamed for the circulation of divorce details and claimed that he did not “protect” her like she had covered him up in divorce lawsuits.
“When I came to Eman [Shumpert] She told him that I wasn’t safe and nothing else mattered,” she said. “Why are we talking on this phone? I came to you and said, “Yo, baby daddy, I’m not safe, like n ##### is talking about the booming boom period they’re talking about, ‘I tell you I’m not safe, you, you, ‘Yeah, back in 2023, I did, huh? What are we talking about? I’m not doing anything, I can only protect the whole process.”
Teyana Taylor said she has evidence that Iman is paying for a blog to post information about the divorce.
She claimed she protected him throughout the process and he did nothing even if she went to him about the death threat.

Taylor stressed that she had been trying to keep the divorce private, even alleging that she had taken action to prevent his actions from being revealed to the public when Iman took steps to expose his legal struggle.
“You can even Google Teyana and Iman’s divorce,” she said. “Everything you’ve seen is begging N ##### to stay away from our business. Even if he makes a motion to make our name public to the world, I continue to blame TMZ. I can easily say, ‘My ex-husband will make our divorce public.’ I don’t.”
Despite her efforts, she claims Shumpert continues to manipulate the narrative. But one of Teyana’s most shocking claims is that he deliberately allows stories about her to surface when she is standing next to him.
“When all my utilities and ### were cut off, it protected him because it was in court, and it went into the blog,” she said. “Who is coming to the internet to protect him?”
Taylor further blames Iman for her current situation when talking about how emotional losses from the situation are overwhelming. In addition to claiming that what Iman said social media has caused her anxiety, Iman was “kicked”, claiming she has evidence that he is paying to control the media narrative surrounding the divorce.
“It’s really weird that every time things about me come out on the same blog, it starts to be very little, and then gets bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger,” she said. “I have evidence that you’re paying people to post these things. Like, come on.”
Taylor ended the explosive live stream, begging social media users to let her “shock her peace” but she didn’t misrepresent in the media cycle until she cleared another misunderstanding she felt was another misunderstanding.
In a separate clip in a lengthy live video shared with her, Taylor addresses the difference between her narrative after Shumpert due to his NBA career. She strongly denied the idea that she was a “excavator”, referring to him that he had never competed professionally since 2020 and that she had more money than he did throughout the divorce.
