star opens up about what went wrong in his relationship with Keyshia, as well as alluding to reality TV aiding in the demise of their marriage. He also admits that he wasn’t a “good friend” to his wife, but kind of gives a confusing answer when asked if he cheated or not.
On why his marriage
failed
I think that life happened. In certain situations, you are a
match made in heaven. But at the same time, nothing is perfect — and nobody is
perfect. Then in some situations, you aren’t going to be as perfect as some
people expect you to be. What happened with me and her was that our
relationship was out there for everyone to see. So whenever we were going
through our problems, it became public and everyone saw the ups and downs. With
us, I think it was just a matter of us growing apart over time. I can’t say
that there was one thing that broke us up, but what I can say as a man; when
you are in a relationship, and you say those vows, I take full responsibility
for everything that didn’t go right.
I take that responsibility — I do.
I’m giving you the real answer because I feel like you’re
never supposed to allow your marriage to fall apart. Whether it’s the blogs
saying I cheated, or if I don’t like your attitude, at the end of the day, when
you’re married to somebody, and you say “I do,” it says for better or for
worse, and regardless of what comes in your relationship, you’re supposed to
work through it. For example, even if you wanted to say that I cheated, you’re
still supposed to figure out a way to make that work. So I’m not backing down
from anything that people have to say about me, and I’m not taking the easy way
out. But I am taking full responsibility for that not being my wife.
On if he cheated
No.
No? Well there are
songs out by her that say something totally different.
Well, let me put it like this. I won’t say that I didn’t
cheat, but I will say that I cheated my wife out of a friend in a lot of
situations where I was supposed to hold her down and I didn’t. I cheated my
wife out of a lot of different things. I feel like when we got together, I
thought I was a man, and I thought I had it all figured out but I didn’t. I
think I was like 23 when we met, and so a lot of mistakes that you shouldn’t
make as a man in a relationship with your wife, I made. So you can go down the
line — I probably made every mistake. The difference between me then and me now
is that back then, I probably would have tried to sit here and make an excuse
like, “oh it was because of her attitude, and it made me go out and cheat on
her.” No, that’s a sucker move — that’s for a coward to say. So I‘m sitting
here telling you that regardless of what she did, I married her. I loved her.
And none of that other stuff should have happened. We’re supposed to still be
together doing it right.
On the rumors that he
cheated with a stripper
As far as the whole stripper thing goes, of course I went to
the strip club and had a picture taken of me with a stripper. But what I’ve
been trying to figure out when I hear people gossiping and talking is, since
when do two pictures constitute a relationship? It only happens that way when
the media tries to paint a picture that this is what happened to our
relationship. And what I will say about my wife is that she’s really into the
social media world. So when stories like this start floating around, and she
feels the need to get involved with it, it makes it seem more true than it
really is. But that didn’t really have anything to do with us being separated,
because when you think about it, we were actually already separated before all
of that came out.
And that’s why I say it’s way deeper than a superficial
story that I cheated. It’s way deeper. What it really boils down to was, I just
wasn’t a good friend to her, and I wasn’t a good person for her at the end of
the day.
